TREND DATA
The Trend function tracks monitored parameters up to twenty-four hours (or an
optional 72 hours) for patients whose alarms are set to ON on the Patient Settings
screen. You choose which parameters to trend and then customize the data to be
shown on the screen and in printed reports. You can also mark specific events on the
trend graph.
Trend settings are made on the Trend screen. Display this screen by pressing the View
button, selecting the patient, and then clicking the Trend button on the View menu
bar. The Trend screen is displayed (fig. 77).
CAUTION: Trend data is not collected if a patient’s alarms have been set to OFF or 3-
minute ALARM OFF, or if the bedside device does not send NIBP elapsed
time. If a new reading is identical to the previous reading, it will not be stored.
