• Interlocks that help prevent inadvertent cuff deflation during intravenous regional anesthesia (Bier block) procedures.
Newer safety features
At the top of the line, some manufacturers provide additional safety
features that can be very useful.
• Automated estimation of limb occlusion pressure (the minimum pressure required to stop the flow of arterial blood into the limb distal to
the cuff, based on a patient's limb and the location of the cuff), which
lets you set safer individualized pressures.
• Integrated cuff testing, which continually monitors cuffs, tubing and
connectors for leaks.
• Interfaces to OR information systems that capture cuff pressures
