Pulmonary Artery (PA) Catheter
The pulmonary artery pressure displayed on the Patient Status Display or TouchPro software is set
using this parameter. A non-pulsatile, “zero” pressure signal is emitted when the Atmosphere position
is selected and can be used to simulate zeroing a pressure transducer. This may also be used to remove
the pulmonary artery pressure waveform, if desired (e.g., beginning of an SCE with an “unmonitored”
patient). The pulmonary artery catheter can be “floated” into position by sequencing through the right
heart positions. This may also be scripted into a scenario using the Scenario Designer.
Default : Pulmonary Artery
Options: Atmosphere
Intrathoracic Vein
Right Atrium
Right Ventricle
Pulmonary Artery
Pulmonary Artery (PA) Balloon
Inflation of the pulmonary artery catheter balloon is simulated by switching to the Inflated option of
the PA Balloon parameter. The appropriate pulmonary artery occlusion or “wedge” waveform is then
displayed on the Patient Status Display or TouchPro software.
Default : Deflated
Options: Deflated
Inflated
Defibrillation (Defib)
The Defib parameter is used to simulate a specified amount of energy discharged via an external
cardiac defibrillator. Setting this parameter results in the characteristic spike in the ECG, followed by a
return to the pre-defibrillation rhythm.
Defib has no direct effect on the electrical conduction system
of the heart. Thus, synchronized cardioversion may be done “on the fly” or scripted using the Scenario
Designer.
Default : 0 Joules
Range : 0 Joules - 360 Joules
