With the QRS WIDTH option you can choose between normal and narrow
QRS widths.
•
QRS normal—Use the Normal mode for ECG rhythms that have QRS
complex widths of approximately 70 ms or wider. This includes almost
all adult patients and also any patient with electronic ventricular
pacing.
•
QRS narrow—The Narrow mode is intended for use with all neonatals
and pediatric patients who have a QRS complex width of 120 ms or less.
NOTE: Full range of QRS amplitude sensitivity is achieved for QRS
<80 ms.
The QRS WIDTH option opens a popup menu that allows you to specify the
QRS width type to NORMAL or NARROW. The selected width type will be
sent to the monitor for use in the ECG analysis algorithms.
To change the QRS width, follow this procedure:
