Principle NIBP

What is the primary purpose of a non-invasive blood pressure device?

• To monitor heart rate

• To insert a catheter

• To measure blood pressure externally

• To perform surgery

Which method uses a stethoscope to measure blood pressure?

• Automated method

• Auscultatory method

• Oscillometric method

• Invasive method

What does a blood clot refer to?

• Blood flow in arteries

• Blood that has solidified

• Blood in liquid form

• Blood pressure measurement

What is considered high blood pressure?

• Diastolic > 90mmHg

• Systolic > 140mmHg

• Systolic > 120mmHg

• Diastolic > 80mmHg

What does the oscillometric method use to measure blood pressure?

• Cuff inflation

• Pressure transducer

• Stethoscope

• Korotkoff sounds

What is the first sound heard in the auscultatory method?

• Mean arterial pressure

• Diastolic pressure

• Korotkoff sound

• Systolic pressure

What happens during cuff inflation in the auscultatory method?

• Blood flow is increased

• Cuff pressure is released

• Cuff pressure is raised above systolic pressure

• Cuff is removed

What does MAP stand for in blood pressure measurement?

• Minimum Arterial Pressure

• Mean Arterial Pressure

• Mean Average Pressure

• Maximum Arterial Pressure

What is the role of the pressure sensor in the NIBP module?

• To measure heart rate

• To detect changes in pressure

• To release air from the cuff

• To inflate the cuff

What is the purpose of the air pump in the NIBP module?

• To measure blood pressure

• To inflate the cuff

• To analyze Korotkoff sounds

• To deflate the cuff
