Pulseless Electrical Activity
The Pulseless Electrical Activity parameter triggers a clinical condition characterized by
unresponsiveness and lack of palpable pulse in the presence of organized cardiac electrical activity.
It is either ON or OFF.
Default: Off
PVC Probability
The PVC Probability parameter represents the percentage of cardiac cycles containing a premature
ventricular contraction (contraction of the ventricles that occurs earlier than usual because of
abnormal electrical activity of the ventricles).
Default: Modeled
Range: 0% - 90%
Arterial Catheter
The arterial pressure displayed on the Patient Status Display or TouchPro software is set using this
parameter. A non-pulsatile, “zero” pressure signal is emitted when the Atmosphere position is
selected and can be used to simulate zeroing a pressure transducer. This may also be used to remove
the arterial pressure waveform, if desired. The Left Ventricle position is useful for simulating cardiac
catheterization procedures, or for demonstrating left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and its
relationship to pulmonary artery occlusion (“wedge”) and central venous pressure.
Default: Peripheral Artery
Options: Atmosphere
