AVERAGING P-CO MEASUREMENTS
VF8 DELTA/DELTA XL/KAPPA 26-13
NOTE:
Discard results that are widely different from the general trend, and those
associated with irregularly-shaped waveforms.
If more than five measurements are taken, the oldest measurement (#1) will be
deleted and the subsequent measurements will be shifted to the left.
If any measurement is deleted by the user, the subsequent measurements will
also be shifted to the left.
NOTE:
When you save an average the Averaging screen closes.
Deleting and/or undeleting p-CO measurements is not possible after a p-CO
Averaging calculation is completed.
p-CO Averaging
1
Current blood temperature
5
Accesses Review Curves screen (see
below).
2
Current injectate temperature 6 T – Temp difference – The difference
between the lowest blood temperature and
the baseline blood temperature for each
thermodilution measurement.
3
Exit p-CO Averaging screen 7 p-CO measurement values (newest value
is located at the right; click on the value to
exclude it from averaging and mark it with
slash).
4
Current average of p-CO values (Click
to save them; screen displays *** if the
values are out of range) and exits
Averaging screen.
8 Thermodilution curve -- the highest point
represents the lowest blood temperature
(measured at the exit from the heart).
