14-2 Infinity Vista VF6
14 INVASIVE BLOOD PRESSURE
Overview
During invasive blood pressure monitoring (IBP), the monitor measures arterial and
venous blood pressures and
z Displays one or two pressure waveforms continuously (the monitoring of two
invasive pressure parameters is available as an option).
z Calculates systolic, mean, and diastolic invasive blood pressures values.
In the IBP setup menu (see the section Invasive Pressure Labels), you can select one
of the following pressure labels to identify the type of invasive blood pressure being
monitored.
Set IBP alarms on the Alarm Limits table (see the chapter Alarms and Messages). If
you are monitoring two invasive pressure parameters, each has its own alarm settings.
For invasive pressure parameters that generate only a mean pressure value, you cannot
set systolic or diastolic alarm limits.
NOTE: Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring is a locked option for the Infinity Vista
monitor.
ART Arterial Pressure
PA Pulmonary Arterial Pressure
CVP Central Venous Pressure
ICP Intracranial Pressure
GP1/GP2 Generic Pressure Label 1 and 2
(GP2 is available as an option)
NOTE: This manual refers to the invasive blood pressure parameter generally as IBP1
or IBP2. The actual displayed pressure labels are those you choose in the IBP setup
menu. Always select an appropriate label for your invasive pressure monitoring session.
