Managing Patients
4.1 Admitting a Patient
The patient monitor displays physiological data and stores them in the trends as soon as a
patient is connected. This allows you to monitor a patient that is not yet admitted. However,
it is recommended that you fully admit a patient so that you can clearly identify your patient,
on recordings, reports and networking devices.
To admit a patient:
1. Select the [
Patient Setup
] QuickKey, or [
Main Menu
]
→
[
Patient Setup >>
].
2. Select [
Discharge Patient
] to clear any previous patient data. If you do not erase data
from the previous patient, the new patient’s data will be saved into the data of the
previous patient. The monitor makes no distinction between the old and the new
patient data.
3. If [
Discharge Patient
] button appears dimmed, directly select [
Admit Patient
] and
then select:
‹
[
Yes
] to apply the data saved in the patient monitor to the new patient, or
‹
[
No
] to clear the data saved in the patient monitor.
4. In the [
Patient Demographics
] menu, enter the demographic details, of which:
‹
[
Patient Cat.
] determines the way your patient monitor processes and calculates
some measurements, and what safety and alarm limits are applied for your patient.
‹ [
Paced
] determines whether to show pace pulse marks on the ECG waveform.
When the [
Paced
] is set to [
No
], pace pulse marks are not shown in the ECG
waveform.
5. Select [
Ok
].
