6.4.3 Checking Paced Status
It is important to set the paced status correctly when you start monitoring ECG. The paced symbol is displayed in
the patient information area when the [ Paced ] is set to [ Yes ]. The pace pulse markers “
︱
” are shown on the ECG wave
when the patient has a paced signal.
To change the paced status, you can select either:
„
[ Main Menu ] [
→
Patient Demographics >> ] [
→
Paced ], or
„
The ECG parameter window to enter the [ ECG Setup ] menu, and then, select [ Others >> ] [
→
Paced ],
and toggle between [ Yes ] and [ No ].
Warning
z
For paced patients, you must set [Paced] to [Yes]. If it is incorrectly set to [No], the patient monitor could
mistake a pace pulse for a QRS and fail to alarm when the ECG signal is too weak. Do not rely entirely on rate
meter alarms when monitoring patients with pacemakers. Always keep these patients under close
surveillance.
z
For non-paced patients, you must set [Paced] to [No]. If it is incorrectly set to [Yes], the equipment may be
unable to detect premature ventricular beats (including PVCs).
6.5 ECG Display
The figure below shows the ECG monitoring view in 5-lead mode. It is for reference only. Your display may be configured
to look slightly different.
PVCs values is shown only when arrhythmia analysis is switched on. When external paddles or multifunctional electrode
pads are used for ECG monitoring, the PVCs values is shown as “---”.
