Reviewing Arrhythmias
Selecting Arrhythmia Classes
The numerical value for each arrhythmia key indicates the number of occurrences
that the system has stored. If none have been detected, the numerical value
inside the key is 0 and the key outline is dotted. For classes that only store the last
occurrence of that type of arrhythmia (for example, tachycardias of a
supraventricular origin), a value is not displayed. The system updates the menu
as new classes are created.
Selecting Leads for Review
When you access the Arrhythmia Review menu, the LEAD key text changes to
indicate which leads were being monitored the last time the displayed event
occurred. The lead associated with the currently displayed waveform is
highlighted. You can change the lead selection by touching the LEAD key.
Multiple Arrhythmia Classes
The system distinguishes between classes of the same type that have different
morphologies by assigning numbers to each class. The class number is displayed
to the right of the class type; for example, ABNORMAL 1.
The system will display, in sequence, up to 32 different runs and/or pauses.
However, the system always keeps the longest run or pause. If the system detects
one more pause and/or run than it can store, it replaces the oldest run or pause
with the new one (that is, first in-first out).
Updating Classes
The system updates the review waveform once each minute for the dominant,
paced and AV paced classes. Otherwise, it updates with each occurrence.
