NBP monitoring with telemetry
NBP monitoring via telemetry is done with an Accutracker DX or Dinamap Pro blood
pressure monitor connected to the transmitter. The blood pressure cuff is connected to
the blood pressure monitor, which measures and displays systolic and diastolic blood
pressures using the auscultatory method. When the blood pressure monitor is
connected to an transmitter, digital values are also displayed at the CIC Pro center.
WARNING
The following conditions may affect the accuracy of noninvasive
blood pressure readings: seizures, tremors, extreme hypotension or
hypertension, arrhythmias, or extremely high or low heart rate.
Patient preparation
Blood pressure cuff selection and application are important. Inappropriate selection or
improper application of the cuff will result in erroneous measurements.
Most people use their non-dominant arm for acquiring ambulatory noninvasive blood
pressure readings.
Follow these steps to prepare the patient for NBP monitoring:
