patient. To manually admit a patient on the N1 monitor:

a. The monitor prompts to admit a new patient in the following situations:

• After being switched off for the selected time period*, the monitor

automatically discharge the previous patient and admit a new patient at

startup.

• If the monitor has not detected certain patient vital signs (ECG, SpO

RR, NIBP) for 30 minutes, the clinician will be prompted to admit a new

patient once continuous monitoring is detected.

*Time period configurable.

b. To open the Patient Management dialog:

Factors that Affect Blood Pressure Measurement Accuracy

The accuracy of non-invasive blood pressure (BP) measurement has been shown

to be affected by numerous factors. Some of the more important aspects (based

on published literature) to consider while measuring BP are:

• The cuff should fit snugly, but with enough room for two fingers to be

placed between the cuff and the patient’s arm (on adults), and loosely on

neonates with little or no air present within the cuff.

• Use the Guidance Table provided to select the proper size cuff. Too small

9

BeneVision N1

a cuff has been shown to result in the overestimation of BP (systolic and

diastolic) while too large a cuff results in the underestimation of BP.

Ensure that the cuff is wrapped directly over the patient’s skin. BP measurement

could be 10 to 40 mmHg higher or lower than actual when the cuff is applied

over clothing.

• The cuff should be applied so that the center of the bladder in the cuff is

over the brachial artery. Use the reference marker for ver.

• For best results, the cuff should be placed on the arm at heart level and

the lower arm supported passively. Published data indicates that BP can

increase about 2 mmHg for every inch that the cuff is below heart level and

decrease by the same amount if above heart level.

• Avoid compression or restriction of the pressure hose. Do not place the

NIBP cuff on a limb that is being utilized for any other medical procedure,

for example, an I.V. catheter.

• Have the patient sit quietly for several minutes before BP measurement and

remain still during measurement to avoid unnecessary motion artifact. If

the patient has not rested before measurement, BP could be elevated by 10

to 20 mmHg.

Quick Reference Guide

• Do not talk to the patient during BP measurement as talking has been

shown to result in a 10 to 15 mmHg overestimation of BP.

• The patient’s back and feet should be properly supported with the legs

kept uncrossed. Unsupported back and feet could increase BP by up to 15

mmHg, while crossed legs could result in a 4 to 12 mmHg increase.

• Other factors that have been shown to result in an overestimation of BP are

labored breathing (5 to 8 mmHg), full bladder (10 to 15 mmHg), pain (10 to

30 mmHg).
