13.2 Preparing for IBP Monitoring
13.2.1 IBP Equipment to Patient Connection
13.2.2 Measuring an Invasive Blood Pressure
To monitor IBP, follow this procedure:
1. Connect one end of the IBP cable to the IBP cable connector on the monitor, and the other end to the IBP
transducer.
2. Flush the IBP transducer system to exhaust all air from the tubing according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Ensure that the system is free of air bubbles.
3. Connect the IBP transducer to the patient, making sure that the transducer is at the same horizontal level as
the heart.
4. Select the proper pressure label for currently measured pressure. For more information, see
13.5.2Changing the Pressure Label.
5. Zero the IBP transducer. For more information, see.
13.2.3Zeroing the IBP transducer. After a successful
zeroing, turn off the
three-way valve to the air and turn on the three-way valve to the patient.
• Make sure that all the transducers are zeroed correctly before making IBP measurements.
• Make sure that all air bubbles have been flushed from the IBP transducer system before making IBP
measurements.
