Entering Values for Calculations

Entering Values for Calculations

The monitor automatically enters any available values for calculations. For aperiodically-measured values such as C.O., the monitor will re-use the most recent value in the calculation database until a new value becomes available.

♦To enter calculations values manually or edit automatically-entered values, select the value field to open the on-screen keyboard and use this to enter the correct value. Values edited manually are marked with an asterisk symbol (*).

If you enter a value that has more decimal places than allowed for a particular input, the value you enter will be rounded off after you select Enter. If you enter a value which cannot be stored, the message Warning: Value out of range will appear. Enter a new value.

In hemodynamic calculations, if the systolic and diastolic pressures are manually entered, the mean pressure is calculated and marked with an asterisk. The formula used to estimate the mean pressure is [systolic + (diastolic x 2)] / 3.

Automatic Value Substitution

If the monitor cannot find a value required for calculation, it automatically tries to find an equivalent source for this value. For example, if C.O. is required but unavailable, the monitor automatically looks for CCO as a alternative source of C.O. values, or a alternative Pressure label may be used instead of ABP. The label of the value in the Calculations window does not change. Substituted values are marked with an asterisk (*).

Automatic Unit Conversion

The monitor needs consistent units for performing calculations. It automatically converts units where necessary before it performs the calculation, for example, pressures sourced in kPa, cmH2O, or mbar are automatically converted to mmHg, or to cmH2O for ventilation calculations.

Manual Unit Conversion

If you need to convert units for other purposes you can use the Unit Conversion window:

1Select Main Setup ->Calculations

2Select Unit Conversion.

3Select the field under the unit you know and use the on- screen keypad to enter the known value. The converted value automatically appears in the adjacent field.

BSA Formula

Your monitor provides both the Boyd and Dubois formulas for the calculation of body surface area (BSA). For calculations, the monitor uses the setting defined in the Patient Demographics menu. All calculation results that use BSA are indexed to the selected formula.
