Result
An NIBP cuff suitable for the patient is attached.
6.12.2 Carrying out non-invasive blood pressure
measurement (NIBP measurement)
With an individual NIBP measurement, the device inflates the NIBP
cuff to the set pressure (initial NIBP cuff pressure). The user can
adapt the initial NIBP cuff pressure (Initial function button). To
determine the patient's systolic and diastolic blood pressure, the air
is slowly released from the NIBP cuff whilst measuring the pressure
of the pulse wave. The values for diastolic and systolic blood
pressure are determined from this and shown in the display. At the
end of the NIBP measurement, the device releases the remaining
air from the NIBP cuff.
The NIBP measurement can be influenced by various factors:
•
•
•
•
Requirement
•
•
The NIBP cuff must fit snugly around the limb.
•
When applying to the arm: The artery marking (ARTERY) of
the NIBP cuff must be positioned over the brachial artery
and point toward the hand.
•
When applying to the leg: The artery marking (ARTERY) of
the NIBP cuff must be positioned over the femoral artery
and point toward the foot.
•
If the NIBP cuff is attached to the arm: The NIBP cuff must
be positioned level with the heart.
Application site of the NIBP cuff
Patient position (ideal position: Sitting comfortably, legs not
crossed, feet flat on the floor, back and arm supported, center
of the NIBP cuff level with the right heart atrium)
Exertion (recommendation: Patient should rest for 5 minutes
before the measurement, keep still during the measurement
and not speak)
