Hemodynamics Calculations Calculators
22 - 2 V Series Operating Instructions
22.1 Hemodynamics Calculations
Hemodynamic calculations are a set of values used to determine the hemodynamic status of the
patient. The following values are necessary for these calculations: height, weight, CO, HR, Mean ART,
Mean PA, PAWP and Central Venous Pressure (CVP).
All manually entered values (such as PAWP) are denoted with an asterisk (*).
Patient Sizes
Intended patient types: Adult, Pediatric. The Hemodynamic Calculations are not available when the
patient size is set to Neonate.
VPS
Hemodynamic calculations are part of the V 12/V 21 and do not function as part of the VPS.
