13 NIBP Monitoring
13.1 Overview
The Non-invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) module measures blood pressure using the
oscillometric method. This monitor can be applied to felines, canines and other animals.
Three modes of measurement are available: manual, automatic and continuous.
•
Manual: Pressing the NIBP key on the control panel starts a NIBP measurement.
•
Auto: The NIBP measurement is conducted automatically at a preset interval.
•
Continuous: The NIBP measurement is performed as many times as possible in five
minutes.
NOTE
•
Blood pressure measurements determined with this device are equivalent to
those obtained by a trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope auscultatory
method, within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard,
Manual, electronic, or automated sphygmomanometers.
The NIBP measurement does not produce any waveform. Instead, it displays the
measurement result in the NIBP parameter window as shown below.
