NIBP Measurements NIBP Monitoring

2. Try the calf. Irritable newborns will react to the cuff pressure but may tolerate the calf
better than the arm. Place the cuff just above the ankle.
3. Use the correct Newborn and Infant size cuffs. When applying, verify the cuff’s
Index line falls between the Range lines.
4. Try disposable cuffs. Disposable cuffs are more pliant than reusable ones. They
generally fit smaller infants better.
5. Place the cuff lightly. If the cuff is too snug, it won’t work properly. On infants, you should
be able to easily move the cuff over the limb.
NOTE: NIBP cannot be taken under all conditions. Even manual
methods, employing a sphygmomanometer and
stethoscope, will not work on unstable or active patients.
7.4.16 NIBP List Tile
The NIBP List tile can display up to five of the most recent NIBP measurements in row form.
These measurements are displayed from newest (in the top row) to oldest (in the bottom row).
As shown in the example of FIGURE 7-4, each row displays a time stamp, the three digit
systolic and diastolic pressures separated with a “/”, and the three digit mean pressure in
parentheses.
FIGURE 7-4 Example NIBP List Tile
The NIBP List tile can be configured from the Display Setup Menu to display in one of the
numeric tiles (1 - 5) and it has a menu target labeled “NIBP” that opens the NIBP Menu.
7.4.17 Adaptive Inflation Pressure
During Interval or STAT mode, the inflation pressure is adjusted according to the previous
reading of the systolic pressure. After the first successful measurement, the inflation pressure
is the previous systolic +50 mmHg in the adult mode, +50 mmHg in the pediatric mode, and
+40 mmHg in the neonate mode.
If a manual measurement is taken between interval readings, the manual measurement uses
Adaptive Inflation because the unit is in Interval Mode.
