Monitoring Overview
This chapter provides an overview of the Propaq MD unit’s monitoring functions. It describes
the types of vital sign monitoring that Propaq MD provides, and the flexibility that the Propaq
MD unit gives you in displaying a patient’s vital signs information.
Propaq MD Monitoring Functions
The Propaq MD unit provides an array of standard, and optional, monitoring functions, and
allows you to view the vital signs measurements that these functions provide in a variety of
formats. The Propaq MD unit also allows you to set alarm limits for each monitoring function.
Should a patient’s vital signs measurements go outside of these limits, the Propaq MD issues an
audible alarm tone and displays visual alarm indications to alert you.
If the Propaq MD unit is powered off for less than 2 minutes, all patient monitoring parameter
settings are retained. If the Propaq MD unit is powered off for 2 minutes or longer, the unit
operates as if there is a New Patient and all patient-specific parameters (alarm limits,
defibrillator energy, etc.) are reset to their default values.
The Propaq MD unit can monitor the following patient vital signs:
• ECG
• Heart Rate
• Respiration Rate
• Temperature
• Invasive Pressures (IBP)
• Non-invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP)
• Capnography (CO

)
• Pulse Oximetry (SpO
