Chapter 17 Monitoring IBP (Optional)
17.1 Introduction
The monitor measures direct blood pressure (SYS, DIA and MAP) of one selected blood vessel
through two channels, and displays two waveforms of measured direct blood pressure (SYS, DIA
and MAP).
The available pressure labels are:
Pulmonary Artery Pressure
Alternative non-specific pressure labels
17.2 IBP Safety Information
WARNING
1 The operator should avoid contact with the conductive parts of the appurtenance
when it is connected or applied.
2 When the monitor is used with HF surgical equipment, the transducer and the cables
must be avoided from conductive connection to the HF equipment. This is to protect
against burns to the patient.
3 Disposable IBP transducer or domes should not be reused.
4 If any kind of liquid, other than solution to be infused in pressure line or transducer, is
splashed on the equipment or its accessories, or enters the transducer or the monitor,
contact the Hospital Service Center immediately.
5 All invasive procedures have risks to the patient. Use aseptic technique and follow
catheter manufacturer's instructions.
6 Mechanical shock to the invasive blood pressure transducer may cause severe shifts
in zero and calibration, and then cause erroneous readings.
7 The longest duration of IBP arterial catheterization is 7 days.
