2010-3-21 · cpp= map-cvp or icp (whichever is higher and both are normally under 10mm hg). therefore cpp is primarily dependent on map. a normal cpp is around 80 to 100mmhg. map at the phleb axis does not equal map in the brain (especially in a sitting or semi sitting position). the reason the tragus is chosen is because that roughly approximates the circle of willis. the circle of willis is fed via the
2010-10-6 · Put the transducer next to the insertion site and move the arm really high in the air above the pt. Then look to see the pressure reading. Next hang the arm over the side of the bed so it is a low as it can go and look at the pressure reading.
2020-4-24 · Arterial blood pressure measurement with a pressure transducer and a zero line. The free end of the zero line is attached to the body at the level of the vessel of interest. Before the start of the measurement a zeroing maneuver is needed to account for the difference in height (i.e. hydrostatic pressure) between the free end of the zero line at the level of the vessel of interest and the transducer.
