NIBP cuffs

NIBP cuff selection and placement

Always choose the appropriate blood pressure measurement site. In adult and
child patients, the upper arm is preferred for convenience and because normative
values are generally based on this site. When factors prohibit use of the upper arm,
the clinician must plan patient care accordingly, taking into account the patient's
cardiovascular status and the effect of an alternative site on blood pressure values,
proper cuff size, and comfort.
Always measure patient's limb and select appropriately sized cuff according to
size marked on cuff or cuff packaging. When cuff sizes overlap for a specified
circumference, choose the larger size cuff.
If patient is standing, sitting, or lying, ensure that cuffed limb is supported to maintain
the cuff at level of patient's heart. If the cuff is not at heart level, the difference in the
measured pressure values due to hydrostatic effect must be considered.

Selecting NIBP cuff size

You must first select the NIBP cuff size before starting an NIBP measurement. The cuff
size must be selected for each individual patient.
