Using the C.O. Procedure Window

The C.O. procedure window displays up to six trials (measurement curves) with the trial number and

the C.O. value under the thermodilution curve. When you open the window, a line of pop-up keys

automatically appears to let you carry out C.O.-related tasks. This example shows the procedure

window for the transpulmonary (PiCCO) Method. The window may be configured to look slightly

different on your monitor.

Select Cardiac Output in the Setup C. O. or Setup CC O menu, or

Select the Card iac Outpu t SmartKey on the Screen, if configured, or

Press the START hardkey on the front of the C.O. plug-in module, if available, or

Press a remote start switch, if you are using one.

To change the measurement parameters shown in the results table of the C.O. procedure window,

select the Table Contents pop-up key and choose from the list of available parameters.

To view the currently-used temperature unit, see the “grayed-out setting Temperature Unit

in the Setup C.O. menu. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode.

The Cardiac Output screen element may be configured to display permanently on a specially

designed Screen. Selecting the screen element opens the cardiac output pop-up keys.
