Monitoring ECG
Introduction
Overview
ECG is the primary patient monitoring parameter. It measures heart rate, analyzes
arrhythmia, detects pacemaker function and detects myocardial ischemia.
A parameter window and waveform display when a patient cable is connected to the
monitor. The display updates every two seconds. The The parameter window varies
by software package and the control settings.
655A
When the quality of an electrode signal degrades to an inadequate monitoring level, a
lead failure message displays and monitoring automatically switches to another lead,
as described in the following table.
1 QRS indicator
2 Heart rate
3 Paced beat detection indicator (Pacemaker detection enabled)
4 PVC count (full arrhythmia only)
5 ST measurement point
6 ST analysis data (ST analysis only)
Message New Lead Monitored
RA FAIL Lead III
LL FAIL Lead I
LA FAIL Lead II
V FAIL Lead II
LEADS FAILED No waveforms displayed when RL or all leads fail.
