Viewing Patient Data

Qualifying indicators (which have specific meaning) appear in the Blood Review task window. The following list identifies and defines all indicators used to qualify blood analysis results in the Blood Review task window.

•A “T” next to the time indicates that the data was transferred to the monitor using the Data Transfer module.

•A question mark beside a time (?7:15) indicates the blood measurement occurred prior to clock changes at the bedside or central station.

•A question mark preceding a blood measurement value (?5.0) indicates that blood measurement has been invalidated by a user.

•A question mark standing alone in a blood measurement field (?) indicates that no valid result could be derived from the sensor signals.

•The ' symbol at the beginning of the blood measurement label ('BEecf) indicates the measurement has been calculated by the blood analysis module.

•The “&” symbol before a label (e.g. &PCO2) indicates the measurement has been adjusted to the patient's temperature.

•The > symbol preceding a blood measurement value (>3.0) indicates the value is greater than the upper limit of the reportable range.

•The < symbol preceding a blood measurement value (<3.0) indicates the value is less than the lower limit of the reportable range.

If configured to “Enabled” in the Blood Analysis configuration task window, O2*, the Free Fields (Field1, Field2, and Field3), and Operator ID of the person performing the blood measurement appear after the last measurement (in the order listed).

Viewing Blood You can compare an adult arterial/venous blood result value against a Review corresponding adult arterial/venous blood reference range. The blood Reference results on the Blood Review task window can be within the reference

Ranges range or outside the reference range. You can view reference ranges by

selecting the Ranges/Units key on the Blood Review task window display. The reference ranges correspond to the rightmost time displayed in the Blood Review task window. The reference range information that appears corresponds to the last measurement. The out of range indication refers to the reference range at the time of the measurement.
