摘要:
A system and method for processing a cuff pressure waveform to determine the blood pressure of a patient. The processing unit of the NIBP monitoring system receives status signals from one or more physiological parameter monitors. The physiological parameter monitors each include an operating algorithm that causes the physiological parameter monitor to generate a status signal indicating whether artifacts are present that prevent the determination of the physiological parameter. When the processing unit receives the monitoring signal from the physiological parameter monitor indicating the presence of artifacts, the processing unit adjusts the operation of the NIBP monitor. The adjustment of the NIBP monitor may be to delay the beginning of the NIBP determination cycle until artifacts are no longer present from the physiological parameter monitor or to control the cuff pressure in such a manner as to keep the patient safe and comfortable until the artifacts are no longer present.
