9.8 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.
1. Select [VeniPuncture >>] from the [NIBP Setup] menu. In the popup menu, verify
that the [Cuff Press.] value is appropriate. Change it if necessary.
2. Select [VeniPuncture] key.
3. Puncture vein and draw blood sample.
4. When the puncture is complete, select [VeniPuncture] key, or press the
hardkey on the monitor's front panel to deflate the cuff. The cuff deflates
automatically after a set time if you do not deflate it.
During puncture, the NIBP display shows the real-time inflation pressure of the cuff,
destination inflation pressure, and the remaining time in venous puncture mode.
