4 Managing Patients
4.1 Admitting a Patient
The patient monitor displays physiological data and stores them in the trends as soon as a
patient is connected. This allows you to monitor a patient that is not admitted yet. However, it
is recommended that you fully admit a patient so that you can clearly identify your patient, on
recordings, reports and networked devices.
If the patient monitor already admits a patient, it is recommended to discharge this patient
before admitting a new patient. Otherwise, the new patient’s data will be stored into that
patient’s data.
To admit a patient:
1. In the main menu, select [Patient Setup >>].
2. Select [Admit Patient]. If there is a patient currently in your monitor, select [Ok] from
the popup menu to discharge the current patient. Otherwise, select either:
[Yes] to apply the data in your patient monitor to the new patient, or
[No] to clear any previous patient data.
3. In the [Patient Demographics] menu, enter the demographic details, of which:
[Patient Cat.] determines the way your patient monitor processes and calculates
some measurements, and what safety and alarm limits apply for your patient.
[Paced] determines whether to show pace pulse marks on the ECG waveform.
When the
[Paced] is set to [No], pace pulse marks are not shown in the ECG
waveform.
4. Select [Ok].
