available field where the beats per minute value can be keyed in.
The Heart Rate Parameter
Once the parameter has been set, it is reflected in the patient’s physiology.
Types of Parameters
There are two types of parameters: numeric and discrete.
Once a parameter is selected and set, the patient’s physiology changes according to the model for that
parameter.
Numeric Parameters
Numeric parameters set either a measured value (e.g., 20 mL), a multiplied value called a factor (e.g.,
Heart Rate Factor 2.0 is two times the baseline Heart Rate) or a coefficient that affects a physiological
value in a non-linear way (e.g., FHR Variability Coefficient).
Numeric parameters are changed by clicking in the relevant field and entering a new value in place of
the existing one or using a slider to move through the range of parameter values until the desired
numeric value is established.
Once a measured value is set, that value overrides the physiologically modeled parameter value. To
return to a physiologically modeled value, switch the slider in the parameter dialog from
Override to
Modeled .
Discrete Parameters
Discrete parameters enable users to select one of two or more options.
