9.11 Assisting Venous Puncture
You can use the NIBP cuff to cause sub-diastolic pressure to block the venous blood
vessel and therefore help venous puncture. To assist venous puncture, follow this
procedure:
1. In Continuous Monitoring mode, select the NIBP numeric area to enter the NIBP
dialog. In Spot Check mode, select the Main Menu quick key → from the
Parameters column select Setup → select NIBP.
2. Set Venipuncture Pressure.
3. Select Venipuncture at the bottom of the dialog.
4. Puncture vein and draw blood sample.
5. Select Venipuncture again to deflate the cuff. If the cuff is not manually deflated,
the cuff automatically deflates after a fixed period of time (170 seconds for adult
and pediatric patient, 85 seconds for neonatal patient).
During venous puncture, pay attention to the cuff pressure and the remaining time
displayed in the NIBP numerics area.
• This function is not available on VS 8A monitors.
