PTA monitor User manual PTA monitor introduction PTA (Parasympathetic Tone Activity) is a normalized and continuous measure of the parasympathetic tone (p) which is a part of the autonomous system (ANS). It uses the punctual and quick increase of pƩ tone induced by each respiratory cycle (spontaneous or artificial) to measure the “relative quantity”...
PTA monitor User manual PTA index We have developed an innovating algorithm based on the amplitude assessment of respiratory patterns of the RR series. An index is continuously displayed, reflecting the parasympathetic tone activity: the average PTA (in orange, indicated “mean” on the right of the screen). A strong nociceptive stimulation leads an almost instantaneous decrease of the amplitudes of the RR series’...
PTA monitor User manual Monitor setting Position the monitor in order to use easily the power plug. The power cable has to be screwed on the appropriate socket on the lower side of the monitor. The acquisition box has to be plugged on the RS232/422/485 port (figure 2).
PTA monitor User manual 3 Start the PTA monitoring When the power cable is plugged on socket of power supply, a power light indicator above the screen will become orange. The monitor can be ignited by pressing during 3 seconds the interrupter located on the low side of the monitor (figure 4).
