Caution
•
Using a cuff that is loosely applied or too small results in measurements higher than the
patient’s actual blood pressure.
•
Using a cuff that is too large results in values lower than the patient’s actual blood pressure.
•
Ideally, the cuff should be at the same level as the heart. Cuff placement substantially above
or below heart level will result in blood pressure measurements that are erroneously low or
high.
The following illustrates one possible cuff placement for adult/pediatric patients and, to the
right, possible cuff placements for neonates:
Figure 8-3 Applying Cuff to the Patient
Ensuring Correct Cuff Inflation Settings
Before taking an NIBP measurement for a new patient, ensure that the cuff inflation settings are
appropriate for that patient.
Check that the correct patient mode is selected. The initial Cuff Inflation Target (CIT) pressure
is dependent on the patient type and the configured CIT preset. The default and configurable
CIT presets for each patient type are indicated in the following table (default values are in
bold).
Note:
You can configure the CIT pressure from the Setup>NIBP menu.
