4 Patient Alarms and INOPs
79
* R-on-T PVCs ECG/Arrhythmia For HR < 100, a PVC with R-R interval < 1/3
the average interval followed by a
compensatory pause of 1.25*(the average R-R
interval), or two such Vs without compensatory
pause occurring within 5 minutes of each other.
(When HR > 100, 1/3 R-R interval is too short
for beat detection)

**ST Multi <n>,<n> ECG/ST Two contiguous ST leads <n> and <n> have
exceeded elevation or depression limits for
more than 60 seconds. The limit violations for
both leads must be with respect to same limit;
either both above the high limit or both below
the low limit.

ECG/ST The ST depression or elevation is outside of
the limit in two or more leads. Check on the
monitor
