Invasive pressures
NOTE
PDM and TRAM may use either the automated wedge
program or a manual measurement to determine the PCWP
value. The PA wedge algorithm requires a 30% change in
waveform size between the PA and Wedge waveform in
order to initiate the automated program. If the algorithm fails
to distinguish between the waveforms, you should use the
manual measurement mode.
Showing the PCWP value in the PA window
1.
Select the PA invasive pressure parameter window.
2.
Select the
Setup
tab.
3.
Select

6.
Inflate the catheter balloon when the
Manually "Freeze / Adjust" when ready
message displays.
7.
Select
Freeze/Adjust
once the PCWP waveform is displayed. The

Complete
message displays.
8.
Deflate the balloon.
9.
To adjust the PA wedge value, move the cursor up or down with the
PCWP
/ Cursor
arrows.
10. To save the PCWP value, select
Confirm Wedge
.
The saved PA wedge value displays in the parameter window and is stored in
trends and hemodynamic calculations.
11. To print a PCWP report, select
Print PA Report
. To stop printing, select
Stop
Printing
or
Cancel Printing
.
The PA wedge report contains 20 seconds of waveform data displayed at a
waveform speed of 12.5 mm/s.
