Overview
Arrhythmia monitoring is available for adult and pediatric
patients. The arrhythmia monitoring mode you select (Basic,
Full, or OFF) determines which kinds of arrhythmia events the
monitor detects (see table below).
NOTES:
! Full arrhythmia monitoring is available as an option and must
be enabled by your Biomed.
! Arrhythmia monitoring is not available for neonates.
When you turn arrhythmia monitoring on, the monitor passes
through a learning phase (30 to 40 seconds) in which it learns the
patient’s dominant QRS pattern and stores it for reference. Subse-
quent beats and QRS rhythms are then compared to the stored ref-
erence and classified as either normal or irregular (arrhythmia).
During the learning phase, LRN appears in the HR parameter box
and the message Arrhythmia Relearning in the message area at
the bottom of the screen. You can also initiate a learning phase
manually at any time (see the section Relearning a Patient’s ECG,
below). Date and time of the last learning phase are indicated in
the HR Setup menu.
NOTE: For arrhythmia monitoring, the monitor processes the
leads selected for ECG monitoring (see the chapter ECG and Heart
Rate).
