17.4 Hemodynamic Calculations
The monitor provides the hemodynamic calculation function and can save the results of up to 10 calculations,
which are displayed in groups.
17.4.1 Performing Hemodynamic Calculations
To perform hemodynamic calculation, follow this procedure:
1. Access hemodynamic calculation by either of the following ways:
◆ Select the Calculations quick key → Hemodynamics tab.
◆ Select the Main Menu quick key → from the Calculations column select Hemodynamics.
2. Enter the known values. For a patient who is being monitored, the currently measured values are
automatically entered.
3. Select
Calculate.
A calculated value greater than the normal upper limit is indicated by an up arrow “
↑”. A calculated value
lower than the normal lower limit is indicated by a down arrow “
↓”.
You can select
Range to show the normal range of each parameter.
17.4.2 Input Parameters for Hemodynamic Calculations
• If you enable Use PA-D as PAWP, PA-D value will be used to replace PAWP value for hemodynamic
calculation. For more information, refer to 13.5.8Setting the Use PA-D as PAWP Switch (only available
when the N1 is used with the independent external display).
