26Event Surveillance
Events are electronic records of episodes in your patient's condition. You can trigger them manually,
or set them to trigger automatically during pre-defined clinical situations.
Depending on the level of event surveillance available on your monitor, the information stored for
each event episode can include:
• waveforms for up to four measurements of your choice (depending on episode type, see “Events
Pop-Up Keys” on page 335 for more details)
• numeric vital signs for all the measurements monitored
• any alarm conditions active when the event episode was triggered
• any annotations connected with the event.
You can navigate through the event database to view events retrospectively, and you can document
events on a recording or report marked with the patient name, bed label, and the data and time.
Levels of Event Surveillance
The appearance of the Events windows and menus and the settings you can select for events depends
on the event surveillance option purchased for your monitor: basic event surveillance, advanced event
surveillance, or neonatal event review (NER). This table lists the differences between the options.
To determine which level of event surveillance your monitor has, select
Main Setup then Event
