PCCI change warning
L
New in version 3.1:
'
PCCI warning
Off / ± 15 % / ± 25 % / ± 35 %
Warning messages can be displayed when a change in PCCI since the last thermodilution has occurred that
is greater than the threshold value defined in this option. Also, the amount of time elapsed since the last
measurement and the change percentage (e.g.
“ΔPCCI
↑
xx%
”
for positive values or
“Δ
PCCI
↓
xx%
”
for
negative values) are alternately displayed in the right part of the information bar (for further information see
chapter 6.2).
The PCCI change warning can be switched off using the “Confirm” button.
The PCCI change warning can be reactivated with a new thermodilution measurement (TD) or by changing
the percentage setting.
Default setting is Off.
Â
The warning message
“Significant change
- C
onsider TD”
will be displayed, if 80% of the relative change
of PCCI values calculated within the last 2 minutes are above or below the user-defined threshold AND if
the latest TD measurement took place more than 12 minutes ago.
Â
If the PCCI change warning and TD reminder are both activated, the messages in both sections alternate.
Â
Every time a new patient is entered, this setting is automatically reset to the default value Off.
