Chapter 14 Monitoring IBP
14.1 Overview
IBP is measured by means of a catheter inserted directly into the circulatory system. A pressure
transducer connected to the catheter converts the mechanical force exerted by the blood into an
electrical signal, which is displayed graphically as pressure versus time on a monitor screen or
numerically on digital display.
The monitor measures direct blood pressure of one selected blood vessel through a maximum of
eight channels, and displays waveforms and pressure of measured direct blood pressure (SYS,
DIA and MAP).
14.2 IBP Safety Information
1
The operator should avoid contact with the conductive parts of the appurtenance
when it is connected or applied.
2
When the monitor is used with HF surgical equipment, the transducer and the cables
must be avoided from conductive connection to the HF equipment. This is to protect
against burns to the patient.
3
Disposable IBP transducer or domes should not be reused.
4
If any kind of liquid, other than solution to be infused in pressure line or transducer, is
splashed on the equipment or its accessories, or enters the transducer or the monitor,
contact the Hospital Service Center immediately.
5
All invasive procedures have risks to the patient. Use aseptic technique and follow
catheter manufacturer's instructions.
