NIBP: Sounds Associated with NIBP
Changing this setting for either patient type cancels a determination that is in
progress and clears previously derived Systolic, Diastolic and MAP values in their
associated windows.
The appropriate target inflation pressure for the next determination is used
when any of the following are true:
 A current valid MAP value is not displayed.
 In manual mode and the last determination is greater than 2 minutes old.
 Any determination attempted that the detected hose type does not match
that of the previous determination.
Sounds Associated with NIBP
There is one tone associated with this parameter. The tone sounds at the
completion of any NIBP determination.
Procedures
1. Connect the end of the air hose which has quick-release clips to the NIBP
connector on the front of the monitor. Make sure that the hose is not kinked
or compressed.
NOTE: To disconnect the hose from the monitor, squeeze the quick-
release clips together and pull the plug from the NIBP connector.
2. Choose the appropriate blood pressure measurement site. In adult/ped
patients, the upper arm is preferred for convenience and because
normative values are generally based on this site. When factors prohibit use
of the upper arm, the clinician must plan patient care accordingly, taking
into account the patient’s cardiovascular status and the effect of an
alternative site on blood pressure values, proper cuff size, and comfort. The
figure shows the recommended sites for placing cuffs.
WARNING
Do not place the cuff on a limb being used for intravenous
infusion or any area where circulation is compromised or has
the potential to be compromised.
3. If patient is standing, sitting, or inclined, ensure that cuffed limb is supported to
maintain cuff at level of patient’s heart. If cuff is not at heart level, the difference
in systolic and diastolic values due to hydrostatic effect must be considered.
