. Several conditions may cause the
BP parameter to
calculate and display
only the mean arterial pressure
(MAP) without a systolic and diastolic reading. These
conditions include very low systolic and amplitude
fluctuations, so an accurate calculation for these values
can't be made (e.g., patient in shock); too small of a
difference between systolic and MAP calculations in
relationship to the difference between diastolic and
MAP; or a leak has occurred in the
PRO Monitor

9 Because treatment protocols based on the patient's
blood pressure may
rely on specific values and differing
measurement methods,
such as auscultatory, clinicians
should note a possible variance from values obtained
with the PRO Monitor
in planning patient care
management.
The
PRO Monitor values are based on
the oscillometric method of noninvasive blood pressure
measurement and correspond to comparisons
with
atrial fibrillation, or the use of a
rapid-cycling artificial ventilator), blood pressure and
pulse rate readings can be erratic, and an alternate
measuring method should be used for confirmation.
General Notes

A patient's vital
signs may vary dramatically during the
use of cardiovascular
agents such as those that raise or
lower blood pressure or those that increase or decrease
heart rate.
