1.5.2 HemoSphere Pressure Cable
The HemoSphere pressure cable enables vascular pressure
monitoring with a compatible Edwards pressure transducer/
sensor and catheter. A connected FloTrac or FloTrac IQ
sensor provides continuous cardiac output (CO) and
associated hemodynamic parameters. A connected TruWave
transducer provides location based intravascular pressure.
The HemoSphere pressure cable plugs into a monitoring
cable port. For more information, see chapter 10, Monitoring
with the HemoSphere Pressure Cable. Table 1-7 lists the parameters available while using the HemoSphere
pressure cable.
