Monitoring Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP)
The Propaq MD NIBP input is Type CF defibrillator proof.
This chapter describes how to use the Propaq MD unit to perform Non-Invasive Blood Pressure
(NIBP) measurements using an inflatable cuff to measure arterial pressure.
The Propaq MD uses the enhanced NIBP features of Welch Allyn’s SureBP and patented
Smartcuf motion-tolerant technology.
The Propaq MD unit must perform ECG monitoring when using Smartcuf.
The SureBP monitoring software allows the Propaq MD unit to take an NIBP measurement as
the cuff is inflating, which saves time -- the measurement takes about 15 seconds -- and
improves patient comfort.
The Smartcuf monitoring software enables the Propaq MD unit to make accurate NIBP
measurements in the presence of extreme artifact, weak pulses, and some dysrhythmias by
synchronizing the NIBP measurements with the patient’s R-wave.
Warning!
•
Observe the patient’s limb periodically to ensure that circulation is not impaired for
a prolonged period of time.
•
Never use the Propaq MD to monitor NIBP on one patient while simultaneously
monitoring ECG on another patient.
•
If a non-invasive blood pressure measurement is suspect, repeat the measurement. If
you are still uncertain about the measurement, use another method.
