Download – Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring

Invasive (intra-arterial) blood pressure (IBP) monitoring is a commonly used technique in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and is also often used in the operating theatre. The technique involves the insertion of a catheter into a suitable artery and then displaying the measured pressure wave on a monitor. The most common reason for using intra-arterial blood pressure monitoring is to gain a ‘beat-to-beat’ record of a patient’s blood pressure.
