7.7.2 Arrhythmia Events
This section lists all arrhythmia events and their criteria.
7.7.2.1 Lethal Arrhythmia Events
7.7.2.2 Nonlethal Arrhythmia Events
Arrhythmia message Description
Asystole No QRS complex detected within the set time interval in the absence
of ventricular fibrillation or chaotic signal.
V-Fib/V-Tach A fibrillatory wave for 6 consecutive seconds.
A dominant rhythm of adjacent PVCs and the ventricular rate is
greater than the V-Tach Rate limit.
V-Tach The number of consecutive PVCs is greater than or equal to the V-Tach
PVCs limit, and the ventricular rate is greater than or equal to the V-
Tach rate limit.
Arrhythmia message Description
Vent Brady The number of consecutive PVCs is greater than or equal to V-Brady
PVC limit and the ventricular rate is less than the V-Brady Rate limit.
Extreme Tachy The heart rate is greater than the extreme tachycardia limit.
Extreme Brady The heart rate is less than the extreme bradycardia limit.
R on T R on T PVC is detected.
Run PVCs More than two consecutive PVCs, but lower than the V-Brady PVCs
limit, and the ventricular rate is lower than the V-Tach Rate limit.
Couplet A Pair of PVCs detected in between normal beats.
Multiform PVC Multiform PVCs detected in Multif PVCs Window (which is
adjustable).
PVC One PVC detected in between normal beats.
Bigeminy A dominant rhythm of N, V, N, V, N, V.
Trigeminy A dominant rhythm of N, N, V, N, N, V, N, N, V.
Tachy The heart rate is greater than the tachycardia limit.
Brady The heart rate is lower than the bradycardia limit.
