Central Venous Catheter
The venous 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 central venous pressure waveform, if desired (e.g., beginning of an SCE with an “unmonitored”
patient).
Default: Right Atrium
Options: Atmosphere
Extrathoracic Vein
Intrthoracic Vein
Right Atrium
Pulmonary Artery (PA) Catheter
The pulmonary artery 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 pulmonary artery pressure waveform, if desired (e.g., beginning of an SCE with an
“unmonitored” patient). The pulmonary artery catheter can be “floated” into position by sequencing
through the right heart positions. This may also be scripted into a scenario using the Scenario
Designer.
Default: Pulmonary Artery
Options: Atmosphere
Intrathoracic Vein
Right Atrium
Right Ventricle
Pulmonary Artery
Pulmonary Artery (PA) Balloon
Inflation of the pulmonary artery catheter balloon is simulated by switching to the Inflated option of
the PA Balloon parameter. The appropriate pulmonary artery occlusion or “wedge” waveform is then
displayed on the Patient Status Display or TouchPro software.
Default: Deflated
Options: Deflated
Inflated
