Müse Parameter Descriptions
297
Pacing Current
The Pacing Current parameter is used to simulate a specified amount of current discharged via an
external cardiac pacer. Setting this parameter results in the characteristic pacing signal on the ECG
waveform when the pacing current is at or above the capture threshold. Also, see
Pacing Capture
Threshold .
Default : 0 mA
Range : 0 mA - 200 mA
Pacing Rate
The Pacing Rate parameter determines the cardiac rate (in beats/minute) when the pacing current is at
or above the pacing capture threshold. Also, see Pacing Current and Pacing Capture Threshold .
Default : 80 beats per minute
Range : 0 beats per minute - 119 beats per minute
Pacing Capture Threshold
The Pacing Capture Threshold parameter determines the minimum pacing current necessary to pace
the heart via an external cardiac pacer. Also see Pacing Current . Pacing current values below the
pacing capture threshold have no effect on the patient’s heart rate.
Default : 50 mA
Range : 0 mA - 119 mA
Cold Fluid Inject
The Cold Fluid Inject parameter is used to simulate the injection of 10 mL saline into the pulmonary
artery (PA) catheter. The appropriate Thermodilution waveform and cardiac output measurement are
then displayed on the Patient Status Display or TouchPro software.
