Course Details

This lecture has been RACE approved for 0.5 CE hour for veterinarians and veterinary technicians.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the relationship between NIBP and IBP methods through the review of limitations of non-invasive blood pressure modalities and limitation of invasive blood pressure monitoring modalities.
• Review the importance of monitoring blood pressure in patients including review of how the various modalities obtain objective values and increasing their dependability.
• Explore the future potential for understanding the arterial waveform and what might be gleaned from its evaluation.
• Reinforce the value of invasive monitoring counterpart, IBP to evaluate arterial blood pressure in critical patients.
