Gas Compensation

A correction factor required to obtain accurate CO

2

readings when elevated levels of O

2

or

N

2

O are present in respired gases.

Heart Rate Source

See Heart Rate/Pulse Rate Source.

Heart Rate/Pulse Rate

The heart rate derived from the heart rate/pulse rate source and expressed in units per
minute or 1/min. See also Heart Rate/Pulse Rate Source.

Heart Rate/Pulse Rate Source

The source from which heart rate/pulse rate is derived. This source can be ECG, any
pressure, including NIBP, or SpO

2

. When the monitor is first turned on, the Propaq Encore

determines the most likely source for heart rate: ECG (first), P1 (second), SpO

2

(third), P2

(fourth), and NIBP (last).

Highlight

The method of identifying a selected item on the display. Highlighted selections appear as
light characters on a dark background or dark characters on a light background. See also
Cursor.

HR

An acronym for heart rate and expressed in units per minute or 1/min. This is displayed
when the heart rate/pulse rate source is ECG.

ICP

Intracranial pressure (label for an invasive blood pressure channel).

Impedance Pneumography

A method of detecting respiratory effort by measuring the AC impedance between selected
ECG leads.

INCO

2

An acronym for inspired CO

2

. The amount of CO

2

measured during inhalation.
