A quantitative evaluation of the Hewlett-Packard 78354A noninvasive blood pressure meter

A manual sphygmomanometer is an instrument used to measure blood pressure, and consists of an inflatable cuff, a mercury manometer (or aneroid gauge) and an inflation ball and gauge. To assess the condition, accuracy and safety of mercury and anaeroid sphygmomanometers in use in general practice and to pilot a scheme for sphyg- momanometer maintenance within the district. Therefore, it must be calibrated periodically. Using the MPX 5050GP sensor as a positive pressure sensor. Requires a maximum pressure of 300 mmHg. This tool is also equipped with a SD Card as external storage. The display used in this module is TFT Nextion 2.8”. After conductings measurements of the three comparisons consisting of Multifunction, DPM and mercury tensimeter to 6 times, the smallest result 0 mmHg and the largest results 251.52 mmHg. While the error in mercury tensimeter’s of leak test to module and rigel is 0.56% and 0.404%.

Sedation And Analgesia

There is a lack of data about the benefits of cardiovascular monitoring with continuous 3-lead electrocardiography (ECG) and intermittent noninvasive cuff blood pressure (BP) during procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA) in the pediatric population. However, these two safe modalities are important for patients during higher levels of PSA because of the risk of rare life-threatening conditions and to help identify possible medication side effects and drug interactions of common sedative medications. These monitoring modalities can also aid in determining the adequacy of sedation. It is generally accepted that a baseline determination of heart rate and BP should be obtained prior to any sedative administration. With deeper levels of sedation and throughout recovery, continuous 3-lead ECG and intermittent BP monitoring are recommended, in addition to other modalities such as pulse oximetry and capnography, to monitor the safety of the patient.

Possible Cause

Peripheral nerve injury following regional or general anesthesia is a relatively uncommon entity but, potentially, a serious complication of anesthesia. Most nerve injuries are related to either regional anesthesia or position-related complications, and they are rarely seen in association with the use of automated blood pressure monitoring. We describe a patient who developed neurological dysfunction of all the three major nerves, median, ulnar, and radial, after general anesthesia. The distribution of sensory motor deficit along with the nerve conduction study demonstrated the location of the anatomical nerve lesions coinciding with the automatic noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) cuff. No other cause of nerve injury was identified except for the use of the NIBP cuff. In the absence of another identifiable cause, we strongly suspected the NIBP cuff compression as a possible cause for the nerve injuries. In this article, we will discuss the possible risk factors, mechanisms, diagnosis, and prevention of perioperative nerve injury.

Background. Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in pregnancy worldwide. This study was designed to study the blood pressure-lowering effect of resveratrol (RES) in a salt-induced hypertensive pregnant rat model. Methods. Forty female Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomized into 4 groups: Normal Preg (0.9% salt diet), Normal Preg + RES (0.9% salt diet plus daily oral RES for 4 weeks), Salt Preg (8% salt diet), and Salt Preg + RES (8% salt diet plus daily oral RES for 4 weeks). Noninvasive blood pressure was recorded on gestational days 7 and 14. On the gestational day 19, foetuses were weighed, and blood and urine samples were harvested for electrolytes and biochemical assays. Results. RES significantly reduced SBP, DBP, and MAP on gestational days 7 and 14 in the Salt Preg + RES group compared to the Salt Preg group (all P<0.05). Compared to the Salt Preg group, the foetal weight, serum NO level, urinary sodium, and 24 hour urine volume were significantly increased in the Salt Preg + RES group (all P<0.05). On the contrary, the levels of serum urea, serum creatinine, and urinary protein were significantly decreased in the Salt Preg + RES group compared to the Salt Preg group (all P<0.05). Conclusions. RES decreases blood pressure in a hypertensive pregnant rat model. Increasing sodium excretion and serum nitric oxide level might be, at least part of, the underlying mechanisms.
