Catheters, Vascular, Blood Pressure, Pressure Transducer
Definition : Blood pressure vascular catheters that consist of a tube with a miniature pressure transducer at its distal tip. The transducer sends the electrical signal to a monitor that displays the maximum and minimum blood pressure values (i.e., systolic and diastolic pressures); most also display a mean pressure value calculated from the measured values using an algorithm.
