The mono v tach arrhythmia has a heart rate variable. To change the heart rate:
1. Push  or  to highlight the Heart Rate value.
2. Push .
3. Push  or  to adjust the heart rate. Each push of a key moves the heart rate one
beat in the direction of the key pushed. A heart rate of 120 to 300 beats/minute
(BPM) can be set in 5 BPM intervals for this arrhythmia.
4. When the heart rate is set, push  to set the arrhythmia heart rate and go back to
the ECG: Ventricular screen.
The PVCs arrhythmia has a rate variable to set the number of PVCs in a minute. To
change the rate of PVCs:
1. Push  or  to highlight the Rate value.
2. Push .
3. Push  or  to highlight 6/min, 12/min, or 24/min in the list.
4. Push  to set the arrhythmia rate and go back to the ECG: Ventricular screen.
The Run of PVCs arrhythmia has a number variable to set the number of PVCs in a run.
To change the number of PVCs in a run:
1. Push  or  to highlight the Number value.
2. Push .
3. Push  or  to highlight 2 PVCs, 5 PVCs, or 11 PVCs.
4. Push  to set the arrhythmia number and go back to the ECG: Ventricular
screen.
Conduction Arrhythmias
Conduction arrhythmias are caused when conduction of electrical impulses are stopped or
blocked from their usual pathways around the heart. To simulate a conduction
arrhythmia:
1. From the ECG screen, push  or  to highlight the Wave Group value.
2. Push .
3. Push  or  to highlight Conduction in the wave group list.
4. Push .
5. Push  or  to highlight the Waveform value.
6. Push .
7. Push  or  to highlight a waveform in the list.
8. Push  to set the arrhythmia waveform and go back to the ECG: Conduction
screen.
The amplitude of all conduction arrhythmia waveforms can be adjusted. See the How to
Set the ECG Parameters section above. ECG signal artifacts can also be added to each
arrhythmia signal. See the How to Simulate an ECG Artifact section above.
