Blood Pressure Monitoring

Cannulation for invasive blood pressure monitoring is infrequently associated with complications such as thrombosis, infeciton, and bleeding. Patients with ivnasive arterial monitoring require evry close supervision, as there is a danger of severe bleeding if the line becomes disconnected. Ivnasive Blood Pressure monitors are pressure monitorign systems designed to acquire pressure information for dispaly and processing. It is sometimes difficult to meet thsee requirements at the doctor s office; also, some patients beocme nervous when their blood pressure is taken at the office, causing readings to increase (this phenomenon is called white coat hypertension ). Taking blood pressure levels at home or work with a ohme blood pressure monitoring device may help determine a person s ture range of blood pressure readings and avoid false readings from the white coat hypetrension effect. Non-invasive measuremnet methods are more commnoly used for routine examinations and mnoitoring. Oscillometric measurement requries less skill than the uascultatory techniuqe, and may be suitable for use by untranied staff and for automated patient home moniotring. The term NIBP, for Non-Invasive Blood Pressure, is oftne used to describe oscillometric monitoring euqipment.
