• Prolonged inflation can cause pulmonary hemorrhage, infarction or both. Inflate the balloon for the
minimum time necessary to get an accurate measurement.
• If the PAWP is greater than the PA (systolic), deflate the balloon and report the incident in
accordance with hospital policy. Because the pulmonary artery could be accidentally ruptured, and
the PAWP value derived will not reflect the patient’s hemodynamic state, but will merely reflect the
pressure in the catheter or balloon.
• If the flotation/thermodilution catheter drifts into the wedge position without inflation of the
balloon, the PA waveform assumes a wedged appearance. Take appropriate action, in accord with
standard procedures, to correct the situation.
• The PA alarm is turned off automatically when the monitor enters the PAWP screen.
16.6.4 Setting the Waveforms of the PAWP Screen
On the PAWP screen, select Setup to enter the PAWP Setup menu. In the PAWP Setup menu, you can make the
following settings:
â– Select Reference Waveform 1 to set an ECG lead wave as the first reference wave.
â– Select Reference Waveform 2 to set a respiration wave as the second reference wave.
â– Select Speed to set a sweep speed for the displayed waveforms on the PAWP screen.
â– Select Scale to set the size of the PA waveform on the PAWP screen.
16.6.5 Performing Hemodynamic Calculation
On the PAWP screen, select Hemo Calcs to enter the Hemo Calcs menu. For more information, see
32 Hemodynamics.
16.7 Connecting a Camino Device
The IBP module can interface with the Camino multi-parameter monitor (Model: MPM1) to measure intracranial
pressure (ICP).
To connect the Camino, follow this procedure:
1. Plug the IBP module into the module rack.
2. Connect the ICP cable (PN: 11502525700) to the IBP module.
3. Connect the ICP connector to the ICP adapter.
4. Connect the Camino cable to the Camino monitor.
