ECG Monitoring
8-14
rate threshold.
Extreme Tachycardia
The heart rate is greater than or equal to the limit of extreme tachycardia.
Extreme Bradycardia
The heart rate is less than or equal to the limit of extreme bradycardia.
8.5.2.2 Non-lethal Arrhythmia
Arrhythmic Events
Description
R on T
R on T PVC is detected.
Run PVCs
More than two consecutive PVCs, but lower than the V-Brady PVCs limit, and the
ventricular rate is lower than the V-Tach rate limit.
Couplet
A couplet of premature ventricular contractions in between normal beats.
PVC
A single premature ventricular contraction in between normal beats.
Bigeminy
The dominant rhythm of N, V, N, V, N, V
Trigeminy
The dominant rhythm of N, N, V, N, N, V, N, N, V
Tachycardia
The heart rate is greater than the limit of tachycardia
Bradycardia
The heart rate is lower than the limit of bradycardia
Pacer Not Capture
No QRS complex is detected for 300 ms following a pace pulse (for paced patients only)
Pacer Not Pacing
There is no pace pulse for 1.75 times of average R-to-R interval following a QRS complex
(for paced patients only)
Missed Beats
At least 3 consecutive Ns, and the current RR interval is greater than 1.5 times of the
previous RR interval, and the next RR interval is lower than 1.5 times of the average RR
interval; the heart rate is lower than 100 and the current RR interval is greater than 1.75
times of the average RR interval, or the heart rate is greater than or equal to 100 and the
current RR interval is greater than 1000ms.
Arrhythmia
Sustained irregular heart rhythm (N: change of irregular RR interval exceeds 12.5%)
Nonsus V-Tach
The number of consecutive PVCs is lower than the limit of V-tach PVCs but greater than
2, and the ventricular heart rate is greater than or equal to the limit of V-tach rate.
Ventricular Rhythm
The number of consecutive PVCs is greater than or equal to the limit of V-Brady PVCs,
and the ventricular rate is greater than or equal to the limit of V-Brady rate, but lower
than the limit of V-tach rate.
Heart Pause
No QRS complex is detected within the set heart pause time threshold
Irr. Arrhythmia End
Arrhythmia is not detected within the delay time after the end of Arrhythmia
A-Fib
Normal beat RR intervals are irregular and P wave is absent.
PVCs/min High
PVCs/min exceeds high limit
Pauses/min High
Pauses/min exceeds high limit
A-Fib End
Atrial fibrillation is no longer detected within the delay time after the end of atrial
fibrillation
Multiform PVC
Multiform PVCs exceed the set threshold
Remarks: N: Normal Heartbeat; V: Ventricular Heartbeat
