Invasive Blood Pressure

Invasive blood pressure is a method of measuring blood pressure internally by using a sensitive IV catheter inserted into an artery. This provides a more accurate reading of the patent's current blood pressure. This is usually used where rapid variations of blood pressure are anticipated.

Famous quotes containing the words invasive, blood and/or pressure:

    “The frequency of personal questions grows in direct proportion to your increasing girth. . . . No one would ask a man such a personally invasive question as “Is your wife having natural childbirth or is she planning to be knocked out?” But someone might ask that of you. No matter how much you wish for privacy, your pregnancy is a public event to which everyone feels invited.”
    —Jean Marzollo (20th century)

    “by noon
    the whole city in all its corruption,
    all its shed blood the monsoon cannot wash away,
    has become a temple,
    fragile, insolent, absolute.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “He who is of a calm and happy nature will hardly feel the pressure of age, but to him who is of an opposite disposition youth and age are equally a burden.”
    —Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
