Activation of special Kangaroo mode alarms
l
During Kangarooing, the skin (and core) temperature of the
patient is frequently found to rise. However, in some cases, the
patient is cooled. Consequently, the core or skin temperature
patient must be regularly monitored. In order to perform this
monitoring with as little nuisance as possible to mother/father
®
and baby, Caleo provides the facility for activating special
Kangaroo mode alarms during operation in Kangaroo mode.
These alarms are set in the configuration. The following alarm
limits are set:
– Lower alarm limit for the skin temperature
(Skin 1; T1) = Skin alarm T1 min.
– Lower alarm limit for the peripheral temperature
(Skin 2; T2) = Skin alarm T2 min.
– Lower alarm limit for the difference between T1 and T2 =
Alarm ∆T min.
– Upper alarm limit for the difference between T1 and T2 =
Alarm ∆T max.
These kangaroo alarms have the following significance:
Skin T1 min. alarm
The alarm is triggered as soon as the skin temperature
(T1, yellow skin temperature sensor) falls below the set value.
Skin T2 min. alarm
The Skin T2 min. alarm is triggered as soon as the peripheral
temperature (T2, white skin temperature sensor) falls below
the set value.
∆T min. alarm
The alarm is triggered if the difference between Skin T1 and
Skin T2 is less than the set value (risk of hyperthermia).
