NIBP Blood Pressure Module
Features
The oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement is a non-invasive method that monitors the amplitude of cuff pressure changes during cuff deflation to determine arterial blood pressure. The cuff pressure is first elevated above the patient systolic blood pressure level and the cuff begins to deflate at a certain rate. The initial rise in amplitude of these pressure fluctuations during cuff deflation corresponds closely to the systolic blood pressure. As the cuff is further deflated, these pressure fluctuations increase in amplitude until a peak is reached which is usually referred to as the mean arterial pressure(MAP). As cuff deflation continues, the diastolic pressure can be determined based upon the rapidly diminishing amplitude of the pressure fluctuations. Thus systolic, MAP and diastolic blood pressures can be accurately obtained by supervising the pressure fluctuations while controlling the cuff deflation rate. Specifications
