14 Invasive blood pressure

Overview

You can measure and monitor two invasive blood pressures at the same time using a dual
invasive blood pressure cable. To measure invasive blood pressure you need the E-PSMPW
module.
During the invasive blood pressure measurement, the transducer converts pressure variations
into electrical signals. The electrical signals are amplified and displayed as numeric pressure
values and waveforms.
WARNING All invasive procedures involve risks to the patient. Use aseptic technique.
Follow catheter manufacturer's instructions.
