Cardiac Output And Hemodynamic Calculations - Escort Prism 20401 Reference Manual

If a BP in TRACE 4 or 5 is turned OFF, that BP will be removed from the waveform zone.
The remaining BP will be expanded into the full Trace 4 area. The 5
then be terminated. Turning BP ON again will not restore it as the 5

Cardiac Output and Hemodynamic Calculations

The monitor allows cardiac output injections and hemodynamic calculations. Use only a Swan-
®
Ganz (or equivalent catheter).
Follow hospital policy/procedure for assembling cardiac output setup. Connect system after
attaching bifurcated CO cable to port on monitor. To allow appropriate data acquisition for
hemodynamics, insure invasive pressure lines are labeled correctly. The recommended procedure
prior to completing cardiac outputs/hemodynamic profile is:
To monitor a patient's cardiac output:
1. Insure a MAP (mean arterial pressure) value is available via an arterial pressure or from
NIBP.
2. Zero all lines.
3. Obtain the PAWP/PAD and CVP values.
4. Open the menu for Cardiac Output by pressing softkey next to the CO label. CO display is
temporarily displayed on screen.

5. On initial use of CO, press the ENTER HT/WT softkey to enter values utilizing softkeys.
6. Once these values are complete, press the SAVE HT/WT softkey. Height and weight are
required for indexed values.
7. Verify displayed COEFFICIENT is correct. If value needs to be changed, press softkey under
COEF and use softkeys to change values.
8. Press the MORE softkey to return to prior menu.
9. Prepare to inject by obtaining needed injection volume.
10. Press the START softkey to initiate cardiac output measurement. Injection must be started
within 10 seconds of pressing START. Cardiac output injections should be a smooth, swift
injection completed within 4 seconds of starting injection.
