9.3 NIBP Monitoring

1. Plug in the air hose and switch on the system.
2. Apply the blood pressure cuff to the patient's arm or leg following the instructions below.
Ensure that the cuff is completely deflated.
Apply the appropriate size cuff to the patient, and make sure that the symbol "Φ" is over
the appropriate artery. Ensure that the cuff is not wrapped too tightly around the limb.
Excessive tightness may cause discoloration and eventual ischemia of the extremity.
NOTE:
The width of the cuff should be either 40 % of the limb circumference (50% for neonates)
or 2/3 of the upper arm length. The inflatable part of the cuff should be long enough to
encircle 50% ~ 80% of the limb. The wrong size of cuff can cause erroneous readings. If
the cuff size is in question, then use a larger cuff.
