Hemodynamic Calculations (Hemo-Calcs)
Hemodynamic calculations (Hemo-calcs) are a standard feature with your monitor.
Whenever you measure cardiac output, the monitor automatically calculates a set of
related hemodynamic parameters, marks them with a time-stamp and stores them in a
special database. You can later view these derived parameters on the Calculation
Results screen and print them on an Infinity network laser printer. Hemodynamic
calculations are not trended.
For accurate calculations:
Be sure the patient’s current height and weight are entered in the Patient
Admit screen. Incorrect or missing height and weight data result in incorrect
or blank output values.
For a complete set of calculations, perform both a pulmonary wedge (PWP)
measurement and a C.O. measurement. Blank values on the Calculations
Results screen result from failure to perform both measurements.
Hemo-Calcs
To access Hemo-Calc results without locked options
1. Click on the Menu fixed key.
2. Click on Review.
3. Click on Calc. Results to display the Hemo-Calcs calculations menu.
Hemodynamic Parameters
NOTE: The Hemo-Calcs function is a reduced version of the Physiological
Calculations locked option.
NOTE: For a more detailed list of input and derived parameters, including units of
measure and derivation, see page 16-5.
WARNING: Verify that you enter the patient’s current weight
(not his or her ‘admit’ weight). Failure to enter an accurate
weight value can result in inaccurate calculations and put the
patient at risk.
