8.3.5 Checking Paced Status
It is important to set the paced status correctly when you start monitoring ECG. The paced
symbol
is displayed when the [Paced] status is set to [Yes]. The pace pulse markers “
|
”
are shown on the ECG wave when the patient has a paced signal.
To change the paced status, you can select either:
 the patient information area, or
 [Patient Setup >>] in the main menu and then [Patient Demographics], or,
 the ECG parameter window,
and then, select [Paced] from the popup menu and toggle between [Ye s] and [No].
WARNING
z For paced patients, you must set [Paced] to [Yes]. If it is incorrectly set to [No], the
patient monitor could mistake a pace pulse for a QRS and fail to alarm when the
ECG signal is too weak. Do not rely entirely on rate meter alarms when monitoring
patients with pacemakers. Always keep these patients under close surveillance.
z For non-paced patients, you must set [Paced] to [No]. If it is incorrectly set to [Yes],
the patient monitor may be unable to detect premature ventricular beats (including
PVCs) and perform ST segment analysis.
