18.5 Hemodynamic Calculations
18.5.1 Performing Calculations
To perform a hemodynamic calculation:
1. Select [Main Menu]→[Calculations >>]→[Hemodynamic >>], or select [Calculations] QuickKey→
[Hemodynamic >>].
2. Enter values for calculation.
For a patient who is being monitored, [HR], [Art mean], [PA mean] and [CVP] are automatically taken from
the currently measured values. If you just have performed C.O. measurements, [C.O.] is the average of
multiple thermodilution measurements. [Height] and [Weight] are the patient’s height and weight you
have entered. If the monitor does not provide these values, their fields appear blank.
For a patient who is not being monitored, confirm the values you have entered.
3. Select the [Calculate] button. The system performs a calculation per the current settings and displays the
calculated values.
If a calculated value is outside the range, its background will highlight in yellow. You can select [Range] to
view its normal range in the unit field.
Invalid values are displayed as [---].
In the [Hemodynamic Calculation] window, you can:
Trigger a recording by selecting the [Record] button. The currently displayed renal calculations are printed out
by the recorder.
Review the previously performed calculations by selecting [Review].
