Monitoring PR
10.1 Introduction
The pulse numeric counts the arterial pulsations that result from the mechanical activity of
the heart. You can display a pulse from any measured SpO
2
or any arterial pressure (see the
IBP section). The displayed pulse numeric is color-coded to match its source.
(1) PR Source
(2) PR: detected beats per minute.
10.2 Setting the PR Source
The current pulse source is displayed in the PR parameter area. The pulse rate chosen as
pulse source:
„
is monitored as system pulse and generates alarms when you select PR as the active
alarm source;
„
is stored in the monitor’s database and reviewed in the graphic/tabular trends; in trend
graphs, as the PR curve is in the same color with the PR source , it is unlikely to
distinguish the PR source ;
„
is sent via the network to the central monitoring system, if available.
To set which pulse rate as PR source:
1. Enter the [
SpO
2
Setup]
menu.
2. Select [ PR Source ] and then select a label or [ Auto ] from the popup menu.
The popup menu displays the currently available PR sources from top to bottom by priority.
When you select [ Auto ], the system will automatically select the first option as the PR source
from the popup menu. When the current PR source is unavailable, the system will
automatically switch [ PR Source ] to [ Auto ]. When you select [ IBP ], the system will
automatically select the first pressure label as the PR source from the popup menu.
