6.7.2 Preparing Blood Pressure Monitoring
NIBP monitoring on the upper arm is described below:
Caution
The index printed on the NIBP cuff may not exceed or fall below the range,
also printed on the NIBP cuff. Otherwise, a larger or smaller NIBP cuff has to
be used.
Avoid squeezing, bending or reducing the diameter of the pressure hose
connected to the NIBP cuff.
Caution
When performing the measurement, make sure that the NIBP cuff is on the
level of the heart. The marking „ARTERY“ printed on the inside of the cuff has
to be aligned centrally and with the arrow pointing down to the elbow joint.
The distance between the elbow joint and the NIBP cuff has to be 2 cm.
1. Select the NIBP cuff which is appropriate for the patient’s arm girth.
2. Connect the NIBP cuff to the connecting hose, if necessary.
3. Tightly fit the deflated NIBP cuff around the patient’s exposed upper arm so
that it firmly surrounds the arm. The NIBP cuff should not exert any
pressure on the blood vessels. The lower edge of the NIBP cuff should be
positioned approx. 2 cm above the crook of the arm.
