ULSE CONTOUR CARDIAC OUTPUT (PICCO) MONITORING
Saving a p-CO Average
Click on Save AVG to save the average of all thermodilution parameter values and
end the p-CO measurement session. The average is written to trends and updated in
the main screen parameter box to the time of the latest measurement included in the
average. You also save the calculated average any time you quit the p-CO Averaging
screen by accessing another menu or the Main Screen, or whenever four minutes to
pass without a p-CO measurement. A time stamp indicating the last average saved is
displayed in the parameter box.
NOTE:
It takes a few seconds for the PiCCO algorithm to compute certain p-CO
values. The Save Average button is ghosted until all the values are computed.
A new p-CO measurement cannot be started during this time. When all the
values are available, the Save Average button is unghosted. An attention tone
sounds to indicate that an average can be saved or a new p-CO measurement
can be started.
When performing a set of thermodilution (TD) measurements, the TD values in
the parameter box are blank. The values appear after the p-CO average has been
saved.
