Chapter 12 IBP
12.1 Introduction
The method of IBP measurement is direct measuring the BP of artery or
veins on the pressure sensor mainly through liquid coupling so as to obtain the
pressure curve of the continuous BP.
12.2 Safety Information
Warning:
It is imperative to only use the IBP transducer provided by
manufacturer or specified in this manual. Disposable pressure
transducer should not be reused.
The operator should avoid contact with the conductive parts of the
accessories when being connected or applied.
When the monitor is used with HF surgical equipment, the transducer
and the cables must be avoided conductive connection to the HF
equipment to protect against burns to the patient.
12.3 Monitoring Procedure
1. Plug the IBP cable into the IBP connector on the monitor.
2. Connect IBP cable to the disposable pressure transducer.
3. Fill the transducer and extension tube with saline water mixed with heparin.
Press the stopcock to expel the saline water from the air outlet to exhaust all air
from the tubing. Ensure that the transducer and stopcocks are free of air
bubbles.
4. Select a proper pressure label.
5. Zero the pressure transducer. (Please refer to chapter 12.6)
6. Connect the extension tube of the transducer and blood vessel with the artery
needles and secure them, then make sure 3-way stopcock 1 and 3-way stopcock
2 (See the following figure) are in a state of ON. At this moment, BP waveforms
