Automatic NIBP
Automatic NIBP (Non Invasive Blood Pressure) monitoring uses the oscillometric method of measurement. To understand how this method works, we’ll compare it to the auscultative method. With auscultation, the clinician listens to the blood pressure and determines the systolic and diastolic pressures. The mean pressure can then be calculated with reference to these pressures as long as the arterial pressure curve is normal. So NIBP monitor is one of feature in patient monitor commonly.
With oscillometric method, principle not by hear the blood pressure, it measures cuff pressure oscillation amplitudes. Oscillations are caused by blood pressure pulses against the cuff. The oscillation with the greatest amplitude is the mean pressure. This is the most accurate parameter measured by the oscillometric method. Once the mean pressure is determined, the systolic and diastolic pressures are calculated with reference to the mean.
Simply stated, auscultation measures systolic and diastolic pressures and the mean pressure is calculated. The oscillometric method measures the mean pressure and calculates the systolic and diastolic pressures. Due to the difference in these methods, one cannot be used to check the accuracy of the other.
Precaution :
Accuracy NIBP depends on use of proper size cuff. The size, shape and bladder characteristic can affect the performance of the instrument, recommended from same product are used.
Cuff Size
The cuff size is important to correctly the inflation pressure :
Adult, usually 160 mmHg
Pediatric, usually 130 mmHg
Neonatal, usually 100 mmHg
The NIBP (Non Invasive Blood Pressure) usually have auto program like time cycle. It can change to time interval between auto cycle determinations with set until reach the desired time interval. Auto cycle time mode can be deactivated. Example if we set the timing interval at 15 minutes without turning auto program off, the timing cycle does not start over. The next cuff inflation will occur 15 minutes after the last inflation and every 15 minutes thereafter. Turning auto program time cycle off and then on again restarts the timing cycle with immediate cuff inflation.
Note :
- 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.
- Do not apply cuff to areas where skin is not intact or tissue is injured.
