Chapter 5: NIBP Measurement
Root provides noninvasive blood pressure readings through an oscillometric
method.
An oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement is a noninvasive
method that monitors the amplitude of cuff pressure changes during cuff
deflation to determine arterial blood pressure. The NIBP module is designed
for use on adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients.
Patient Measurement Mode
Below is a table that provides a method for selecting the appropriate NIBP
patient category. To change patient category see Profiles on page 121.
Weight
Patient Category
Maximum Pressure
Greater than 75lbs (34kg)
Adult
280 mmHg
Between 15.4-75lbs (7-34kg)
Pediatric
280 mmHg
Less than 15.4lbs (7kg)
Neonatal
140 mmHg
Cuff Selection and Placement
Root uses a bayonet hose with a blood pressure cuff to measure NIBP. For a
list of compatible NIBP patient hoses and cuffs, visit
