Editing Vital Sign Values
Select a row of data in the hemodynamic calculations table to turn the vital signs
keys ON.
Default values are supplied if you touch the VITAL SIGNS key and no prior value
is available. When you edit a value, the system recalculates the hemodynamic
calculation values using the new vital sign value.
A CVP value is used in calculations if it is available. If only a RAP value is
available, then the RAP value is used in place of CVP. If neither CVP nor RAP
pressure is available, the system cannot automatically calculate SVR, SVRI,
RVSW, or RVSWI. A CVP or RAP value can be manually entered using this edit
process.
A PCWP value is used in calculations if the last stored PCWP value is less than
15-minutes old. If no such PCWP value is present, an LAP value is substituted. If
neither PCWP nor LAP values are available, the system cannot automatically
calculate PVR, PVRI, LVSW, nor LVSWI and the monitor displays the message
NO PCWP VALUE AVAILABLE WITHIN THE LAST 15-MINUTES. You can add a
PCWP value manually using this edit process.
View Additional Table Data
Five sets of values display at any one time. Additional sets of values can be
displayed by scrolling through the data.
Thirty sets of values are saved in the monitor’s hemodynamic calculations table
so you can remove and re-insert the module without losing hemodynamic values.
You can erase these values by discharging a patient or by powering the monitor
OFF.
