RRHYTHMIA MONITORING
Channel - Lead Selection
Appropriate lead selection is essential for accuracy in arrhythmia monitoring. Ideally,
you should assign the two best leads to the top two channels on the monitor. See page
8-19 for more detailed information.
Processing options are:
ECG1 (single-channel option) – Dedicates processing to the lead that occupies
top channel on the monitor screen.
ECG 1 & 2 (dual-channel option) – Instructs the monitor to determine heart
rate and arrhythmia based on the leads that occupy the two top channels on
the monitor screen.
To configure the monitor for single- or dual-channel monitoring
1. Click on the ECG parameter box to display the ECG menu.
2. Click on
QRS/ARR Select.
3. Select
ECG1 or ECG1 & 2 and click.
Arrhythmia Setup Table
When the monitor is operating in Full arrhythmia mode, the ARR setup table allows
you to configure arrhythmia monitoring according to your patient’s needs. The
monitor can detect all events listed in the first column of the table. Using the
remaining columns, you can modify the attributes of each event. Fields that are not
applicable for a certain event category are blank, while those that cannot be modified
are ghosted.
To access the ARR Setup table
Click on the ECG parameter box on the main screen
or
1. Press the
Alarm Limits fixed key.
2. Click on
ARR at the bottom right of the Alarm Limits table. The Arrhythmia
Setup menu appears.
NOTE: The PVC/min current value is only displayed if the monitor is in Full
arrhythmia mode. The PVC/min limit is set in the Alarm Limits table. Refer to chapter 5
for more information on setting alarm limits.
