Conseils d’achat Blood Pressure Holter
- A Holter blood pressure monitor is a small, wearable device that records the patients’ heart rhythm.
- Before making a purchase of a Holter blood pressure monitor, facilities should examine the unit's capacity for data storage, retrieval, and computer interfacing. These abilities are crucial for gathering large quantities of information.
- Facilities can purchase software that takes stored Holter blood pressure monitor readings and correlates them into a graph, at an additional cost.
- Holter blood pressure monitor buyers should also consider the cost of disposable/reusable batteries and the charging and operating time.
- These Holter blood pressure monitor units should measure systolic pressures between 60 and 250 mm Hg and diastolic pressures between 30 and 180 mm Hg.
- To minimize patient reactions, cuff inflation should be no greater than 80 mm Hg/sec. Cuff deflation should be 2-3 mm Hg/sec, depending on the pulse rate.
- The cuffs should be offered in several sizes: neonatal, pediatric, adult, large adult, and thigh.
- Holter blood pressure monitor users should be able to select the timing between cycles of automatic blood pressure measurements.
- These measurements are used to monitor patients in normal living conditions, and therefore visual and audible alarms are optional.
- In case of an abnormal reading, a note should be taken on the event log for clinician review, and the measurement should have a patient-event marker.
- These Holter blood pressure units are battery-powered. Using rechargeable batteries reduces the costs of replacing and disposing batteries and is therefore recommended.
-
- Systolic, diastolic, and pulse rate should be displayed on a LED or LCD.
