sphygmo & NIBP
Sphygmomanometer
Part 1: Blood Pressure
Sphygmomanometer – device used to measure the blood pressure
Components:
Systolic pressure- the pressure exerted by the heart when the ventricles are contracting.
Also known as the peak pressure.
Diastolic pressure- the pressure exerted buy the heart when the ventricles are dilating.
Also known as the minimum pressure.

THE NON-INVASIVE BLOOD
PRESSURE CONTROLLER
A method in recording the blood pressure that; (1)requires no surgery
(2) provides the researcher with the ability to obtain accurate and consistent blood pressure measurements over time in longterm studies.
• Used to measure blood pressure in rats and mice
• Measures systolic blood pressure on the caudal artery
• Uses a tail cuff system
ADI instrument Set-up
Hardware:
Powerlab
– data acquisition device
NIBP
System - outputs the pressure and pulse signals to a PowerLab via a bayonet nut connector (BNC: A type of cable) connection
NIBP
controller
Pulse
Rodent
transducer/ pressure cuff
Restrainer - for securing rat, limiting its movement during experiment.
Pulse transducer/ pressure cuff
NIBP CONTROLLER
POWERLAB MACHINE
Software
LabChart
- Data Pad feature to get systolic blood pressure values automatically from the
NIBP system
PROCEDURE:
Open: NIBP.adiset.file
Pulse input should show an almost flat line as the pressure input decreases, and should show grouping
After at least ten readings showing a similar groupings, press stop on LabChart
Set up the Powerlab
Start LabChart program. (Press blue button on NIBP when status light on the left of the NIBP turns off)
Scroll along the pulse input, and
