Zeroing invasive blood pressures
Zeroing all invasive blood pressures from the
Zero
all
button on the Cockpit menu bar or from the
key on the hemodynamic pods (see page 314) has
the following effects:
– All invasive blood pressure and CPP limit
alarms and static alarms are suppressed from
the time the button/key is pressed until
30 seconds after the zeroing procedure is
completed. This includes an alarm for a
disconnected arterial catheter.
Zeroing an individual blood pressure from a specific
invasive blood pressure page on the Cockpit (see
page 313) has the following effects:
– The invasive blood pressure limit alarm for that
parameter is suppressed from the time the
button is pressed until 30 seconds after the
zeroing procedure is completed.
– If the zeroed parameter is ICP or ART, the CPP
limit alarm is also suppressed from the time the
button is pressed until 30 seconds after the
zeroing procedure is completed.
The following alarm conditions cancel the
suppression of alarms caused by zeroing invasive
blood pressures:
– The invasive blood pressure parameter is
outside (high/low) the measuring range.
– Invasive blood pressure hardware failures such
as a transducer failure
– Unplugged transducers
– Disconnected hemodynamic pods
– A wedge pressure measurement that ends
before the 30-second zeroing period ends will
activate the alarm limit for the parameter PA M
only
