Viewing graphic trends
2001989-200E
The CIC Pro center retrieves non-episodic parameter data at one-minute resolution
from the patient monitor and displays it at one-minute resolution. Episodic parameter
events (e.g. NBP) are retrieved every time episodic events are recorded. If more than
one episodic event occurs during the same minute, the more recent episodic event
overwrites the older episodic event.
The CIC Pro center also retrieves AFIB trend data from telemetry patients. AFIB
event patient data is stored for review in the Graphic Trends and Vital Signs tab
sheets.
NOTE
From the multi-patient viewer, you can click in the real-time trend window to
automatically display the current Graphic Trends window for this patient.
NOTE
When two trends are displayed across from each other in the Graphic Trends
window and both trends have the same data values, those graphic trend
waveform areas will overlap each other. The overlapping waveform colors will
not blend together. This is a normal behavior. As the trend values change, the
waveform shape will also change, allowing its individual waveform color to
become visible.
NOTE
If you position the time cursor inside a visible gap of trended data, parameter
numerics are displayed. Depending upon the position of the time cursor within
the gap, the displayed parameter numerics are either the last known parameter
values before the gap or the first known parameter values after the gap.
NOTE
When viewing episodic telemetry data, any data reading collected after the
minute mark will display in the next trended minute.
Complete the following procedures to view the graphic trends of parameter numeric
data:
Display the graphic trends window
1. From the multi-patient viewer, click on the patient you want to view. The single
patient viewer displays.
2. From the single patient viewer, click Patient Data... > Graphic Trends. The
Graphic Trends window displays the current parameter trends.
