26 P
ULSE CONTOUR CARDIAC OUTPUT (PICCO) MONITORING
PiCCO Setup including IBP
PiCCO monitoring is possible only after entering the following patient information:
 Patient Height, Weight, Sex, in the Admit menu (see page 4-2)
 Catheter Position in the PiCCO parameter menu (see page 26-16).
Indexed values are only available if the values for Height and Weight are entered
before a thermodilution measurement is acquired.
The monitor automatically
detects whether a PiCCO pod is
connected. The Hemo2/4,
MPod – Quad Hemo or
HemoMed and the PiCCO pod
can be connected to the monitor
simultaneously, if more than 4
IBP are required.
The parameter selections vary
depending on whether you are
dealing with discrete/
transpulmonary thermodilution
parameters or pulse contour
parameters. See tables below.
To set up the PiCCO pod
and hardware
1. Insert a central venous
catheter (CVC) into the
patient.
2. Prepare a pressure
monitoring kit for arterial pressure monitoring. Fill the transducer kit
carefully using the flush clip. Air bubbles in the pressure lines or in the
transducer will influence the transmission and can cause measuring errors.
NOTE: For cardiac output
only, the p-CO and C.O.
parameters can not be
supported simultaneously.
