ECG
An ECG waveform trace appears at the top of the display area. You can specify that the unit
display the waveform trace of any available ECG source, such as
Pads , ECG Leads l , ll , or lll ,
and so on, in this area. You can configure the Propaq MD unit to display up to four ECG
waveform traces. In addition to being able to specify the ECG source for each waveform trace,
you can adjust the display scale of those traces to make them easier to view.
Heart Rate
A Heart Rate meter gives the patient’s heart rate in Beats Per Minute ( bpm ). By default, the
Propaq MD unit derives the heart rate from the patient’s ECG, but can be configured to use
other monitoring functions to derive the patient’s heart rate.
Respiration Rate
A Respiration Rate meter gives the patient’s respiration rate in Breaths Per Minute ( br/min ).
The Propaq MD unit can be configured to derive the respiration rate from the patient’s ECG or
from the optional CO
2
monitoring function.
Temperature
The Temperature ( Temp ) meter can display temperature measurements from up to two
temperature probes. The Propaq MD unit provides two separate temperature monitoring
channels and, if both are used, displays the monitored temperatures, in degrees F or C, one after
the other, followed by the difference between those temperatures.
Invasive Pressures (IBP)
The Propaq MD unit provides three separate channels for monitoring arterial, venous, or
intracranial pressure using internal probes. The pressure measurements for each pressure
channel appear in a labeled (
P1, P2, P3 ) numeric display.
Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP)
The Propaq MD unit provides patented Smartcuf motion-tolerant technology for NIBP
monitoring. NIBP monitoring measures the patient’s systolic, diastolic, and mean blood
pressure through an inflatable blood pressure cuff that the Propaq MD unit inflates/deflates.
NIBP measurements can be taken automatically or on-demand by pressing the NIBP button
(
) on the front panel of the Propaq MD unit. The blood pressure measurements appear in a
labeled ( NIBP ) numeric display. You can also specify that the Propaq MD unit display invasive
pressure waveforms in the waveform trace area.
