What does "nibpsys" mean on a monitor?

NIBP is the English abbreviation for nibpsys, an automatic, non-invasive blood pressure measurement technology. On the nibpsys patient monitor, NIBP refers to a commonly used method of non-invasive blood pressure monitoring, primarily based on automated oscillometric measurement.

NIBP offers advantages of automation and non-invasiveness, and is widely used in hospitals to monitor patients' blood pressure and assess whether cardiac pumping function is normal. It is suitable for continuous blood pressure monitoring. The normal values are diastolic pressure between 60–90 mmHg and systolic pressure between 90–140 mmHg. The measurement method involves inflating an air cuff, with measurement timing and intervals manually configurable. Blood pressure monitoring generally reflects the patient's cardiac function and overall circulatory status, enabling physicians to continuously monitor blood pressure changes and promptly adjust treatment plans accordingly.

Additionally, during NIBP measurement, the cuff must be securely placed over the brachial artery on the upper arm. If the cuff remains inflated for prolonged periods, it may impair arm circulation and reduce measurement accuracy. Therefore, timely deflation within appropriate intervals is essential.
