Heart Rate
The Heart Rate parameter is used to set the heart rate to a given (fixed) number of beats per
minute. Once the heart rate is set to a numeric value, administered drugs or intravascular volume
changes have no effect on the heart rate, but continue to influence other components of the
physiological models. Use this parameter to “fix” or set the heart rate to a specific number.
Default: Modeled
Range: 30 beats per minute - 220 beats per minute
Heart Rate Factor
The Heart Rate Factor parameter is used to change the baseline heart rate before physiological
controls are taken into account. A value of 2 doubles the baseline heart rate, while a value of 0.5
decreases the heart rate by 50%. Use this parameter to raise or lower the heart rate.
Default: 1
Range: 0.10 - 4.00
Cardiac Output
The Cardiac Output parameter displays the volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute.
Cardiac Output is a function of heart rate (the number of heart beats per minute) and stroke
volume (the volume of blood pumped out of the heart with each beat). Cardiac Output does not
affect the rest of the physiology. For example, if cardiac output is set to zero, it will be shown on the
TouchPro as zero, but the patient will still have a blood pressure and pulses.
Default: Modeled
Range: 0 L/min - 30 L/min
