9. Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring

9.1. Overview of IBP Monitoring

Invasive blood pressure monitoring (P1 and P2) is a direct measurement of the
patient's arterial or venous pressure. The invasive pressure setup, consisting of
connecting tubing, a pressure transducer, and a fluid source to maintain pressure
(all connected together by stopcocks) is attached to the catheter. The transducer is
placed at the same level with the heart, and is electrically zeroed. The transducer
is a piezo-resistive device that converts the pressure signal to a voltage. The
monitor interprets the voltage signal so that pressure data and pressure waveforms
can be displayed.
The IBP monitoring capabilities of the Nightingale PPM3 include:
• Measuring the patient's pressures across two IBP channels (P1 and P2)
• Calculating the P1 and P2 values in mmHg using either Sys/Dia
(Mean)
Sys/Dia
• Calculating pulse rate from an IBP labeled as ART
• Displaying P1and P2 values with a choice of P1 and P2 (default) or ART,
PA, and CVP labels
• Displaying P1 and P2 waveforms continuously
To connect pressure transducers made by various manufacturers to the PPM3, Zoe
provides a connector adapter kit (Part Number 350-0280).
