ABSTRACT:
A blood pressure monitor kit suitable for use in emergency scenarios such as cardiopulmonary arrest situations. The kit includes a catheter for insertion in the femoral artery of the patient, a transducer arranged to receive blood pressure signals from the catheter and operative to convert the blood pressure signals into electric signals; a housing; a monitor mounted in the housing and including electric circuitry arranged to receive the electric signals from the transducer and operative to generate at least one display indicative of a condition of the patient's blood pressure; a battery positioned within the housing and operative to power the electric circuitry; a switch associated with the housing for connecting the battery into the electrical circuitry to power the circuitry; and a securement device on the housing operative to secure the housing to a patient's body at a location proximate the location of the catheter insertion. The entire kit is packaged in a container which totally envelops the catheter, transducer, and monitor and forms a sealed, sterile package which may be opened upon demand. The kit is intended for one time use and is suitably disposed of after the single use.
