Blood Pressure
Blood Pressure
Pressure range Systolic: 0-300 mmHg / Diastolic 0-200 mmHg
Accuracy +/- 4 mmHg
Calibration Pressure sensor must be calibrated to sphygmomanometer.
See Preferences menu.
Pulse
Available pulses Carotid, Brachial, Radial and Umbilical (SimNewB)
Only 3 pulses can be palpated simultaneously. (Power considerations).
Palpated BP Radial pulse turns off at systolic BP.
Brachial pulse turns off at 20 mmHg, to prevent noise generation in auscultation
area.

Default Blood Pressures (mmHg) 120/80 100/70 60/40
Adult pulses are automatically adjusted to BP as follows:
Systolic BP Carotid Pulse Radial/Brachial Pulse
>= 88 Normal Normal
< 88 Normal Weak
< 80 Normal Absent
< 70 Weak Absent
< 60 Absent Absent
Infant pulses are automatically set to absent when Systolic BP is below 10 mm Hg.
Otherwise infant pulses are normal.
Adult pulses are automatically adjusted to BP as follows:

< 88 Normal Weak
< 80 Normal Absent
< 70 Weak Absent
< 60 Absent Absent
