Introduction
NIBP monitors are used for non-invasive blood pressure measurement. Generally, a normal reading on an NIBP monitor shows systolic pressure between 90–140 mmHg and diastolic pressure between 60–90 mmHg. If blood pressure values exceed the normal range, hypertension may be present, and timely treatment of symptoms is necessary to achieve favorable outcomes. It is important to visit a hospital promptly for a thorough examination, determine the underlying cause, and initiate active treatment.
NIBP monitors are used for non-invasive blood pressure measurement. Generally, normal values on an NIBP monitor show systolic pressure between 90–140 mmHg and diastolic pressure between 60–90 mmHg. If blood pressure readings exceed this normal range, hypertension may be present, and timely treatment is necessary to achieve favorable outcomes.
NIBP measurements are typically taken under resting conditions. If the NIBP reading is ≥140/90 mmHg, it may indicate hypertension; if blood pressure readings are consistently below 90/60 mmHg, hypotension may be present. Both situations represent abnormal blood pressure states and require repeated measurements for confirmation. If multiple readings remain above the normal range, a diagnosis of hypertension can be established. In such cases, antihypertensive medications—such as amlodipine tablets or indapamide—may be used under medical supervision. For hypotension, medications like dopamine tablets or fludrocortisone may be prescribed under a doctor's guidance.
In addition, if an NIBP monitor shows abnormal blood pressure values, individuals should promptly visit a hospital for thorough evaluation to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.
