1.5 HemoSphere Advanced Monitor Hemodynamic Technology
Connections
The HemoSphere advanced monitor is equipped with three technology expansion module slots (two
standard size and one large [L-Tech] size) and two cable ports. Module and cable connection points are
located on the left side panel. See figure 1-1.
Each module/cable is associated with a
specific Edwards hemodynamic monitoring technology. Currently
available modules include the HemoSphere Swan-Ganz module, introduced below and in detail in chapter
9, HemoSphere Swan-Ganz Module Monitoring. Currently available cables include the HemoSphere pressure
cable, introduced below and described in detail in chapter 10, Monitoring with the HemoSphere Pressure Cable,
and the HemoSphere oximetry cable, introduced below and described in detail in chapter 11, Oximetry
Monitoring.
1.5.1 HemoSphere Swan-Ganz Module
The HemoSphere Swan-Ganz module enables continuous
cardiac output (CO) and intermittent cardiac output (iCO)
monitoring with an Edwards patient CCO cable and compatible
Swan-Ganz catheter. Right ventricular end diastolic volume
(EDV) monitoring is available with slaved in heart rate (HR
avg
)
data from a bedside patient monitor. The HemoSphere Swan-Ganz module fits into a standard module slot.
For more information, see chapter 9, HemoSphere Swan-Ganz Module Monitoring. Table 1-6 lists the parameters
available while using the HemoSphere Swan-Ganz module.
