Introduction
What Can I Do with the IBP Option?
Using the IBP option you can do the following:
• Monitor two different invasive pressure channels simultaneously.
• Display two pressure traces and one ECG trace simultaneously.
• Label each Pressure channel.
• Adjust the scaling of the pressure traces.
• Display systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure values on the screen.
• Store IBP measurements in code summary, PCMCIA memory card and trend memory.
• Print IBP waveforms, systolic, diastolic and mean pressure values.
• Configure alarms to go off when the unit detects pressure values above or below user-programmable
limits.
How Do I Use the IBP Option?
To take safe and accurate pressure measurements using the M Series IBP option, you must do all of the
following:
1.
Select the proper transducer.
2.
Connect the interface cable to the M Series and to the transducer.
3.
Follow your hospital’s protocol for setting up the transducer and catheter.
4.
Display the IBP menu.
5.
Zero the transducer.
6.
Select the desired labels and ranges for each trace (if present settings are not appropriate).
7.
Configure alarms (if present settings are not appropriate).
8.
Read the display.
Each step corresponds to a section in this chapter. Read each section carefully before you use the M
Series IBP option.
WARNING! Do not use the IBP option without proper training.
How Does the IBP Option Work?
The IBP option consists of the following:
• 5uV/V/mmHg blood pressure transducer.
• Transducer interface cable.
• Data acquisition and signal processing system inside M Series unit.
When measuring IBP with the M Series, the following occurs:
1.
Pressure in the patient’s vasculature is mechanically coupled to the transducer via a fluid-filled
catheter/tubing system.
2.
The transducer converts the pressure into an electrical signal that is measured by the M Series unit.
3.
The M Series unit computes the systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure and displays the
corresponding values and the IBP trace(s).
