not be displayed or recorded properly. To avoid this, switch out of optimum scale before performing a wedge procedure.

3Use the Reference Wave 1 and 2 popup keys to select any ECG or respiratory wave as reference waves.

4Select Wave Speed if you want to synchronize all displayed waves to your preferred speed.

5Inflate the balloon when the monitor prompts you: Ready for balloon inflation. The waveform changes from the PAP to the PAWP wave. The measurement takes approximately 12 seconds. On completion, the monitor stores the PAWP waveform display and prompts you to deflate the balloon. If the monitor cannot detect a wedging waveform you must use Store Trace to store the wedge and two reference waves manually.

6Deflate the balloon when the monitor prompts you: Ready for balloon deflation and verify that the waveform returns to pulmonary artery shape.

7If you need to start a new measurement, select Restart Wedge.

Editing the Wedge

1Select the Edit Wedge pop-up key to see the stored waveforms.

2The monitor displays a cursor in the waveform at the PAWP mean value. It also displays any previously stored value and the time it was stored.

3Move the cursors up, down, right and left to set them on the correct wedge position.

4Select Store Wedge to store the PAWP value.

5Select Print Wedge to print the PAWP waveform and any reference waves or Record Wedge to record them. While recording or printing, you cannot perform any more Wedge tasks.

WARNING Prolonged inflation can cause pulmonary hemorrhage, infarction or both. Inflate the balloon for the minimum time necessary to get an accurate measurement.

If the pulmonary artery flotation catheter drifts into the wedge position without inflation of the balloon, the pulmonary artery pressure waveform assumes a wedged appearance. Take appropriate action, in accordance with standard procedures, to correct the situation.

If the PAWP (mean) is greater than the PAP (systolic), deflate the balloon and report the incident in accordance with hospital policy, because the pulmonary artery could be accidently ruptured, and the wedge value derived will not reflect the patient’s hemodynamic state, but will merely reflect the pressure in the catheter or balloon.
