@iseeu_nurse: ICU nurses: Did you know this information about how your arterial line and NIBP readings are obtained? Blood pressure is one of the major vital signs we monitor frequently in critical care, and we titrate our life-saving medications based on this value. So, it is imperative that we understand HOW these numbers are obtained and, more importantly, their limitations.
and then you get a fresh post op TCAR and the surgeon has SBP goals 😂

I worked in a neuro ICU where we always titrated off SBP, but would never get an art line unless we were pushing pressures after an SCI. It drove me BONKERS.

Sooooooooo is the whole “if your cuff pressure is off by X compared to your art line, it means it is bad” a lie?!
