Monitoring ICG
15.1 Introduction
Impedance cardiography (ICG) measures a patient’s hemodynamic status using a safe,
non-invasive method based on thoracic electrical bioimpedance (TEB) technology. ICG uses
four pairs of sensors to transmit a small electrical signal through the thorax. As velocity and
volume of blood in the aorta change, the ICG measures the changes in impedance from
systole to diastole to calculate hemodynamic parameters.
15.2 Safety
WARNING
z
Apply ICG monitoring to adult patients in height of 122 to 229 cm, weight of 30 to
159 kg only.
z
ICG monitoring should not be used concurrently on patients with minute
ventilation pacemakers when the MV sensor function is activated.
z
During ICG monitoring, make sure that the conductive paste on the ICG sensors
never come into contact with other conductive parts.
z
ICG sensors are for single patient use only.
