Full Arrhythmia Conditions
Below is an alphabetical list of the arrhythmia messages that are
displayed when full arrhythmia is selected and the condition occurs.
Definitions of each condition are included. The CIC Pro’s response to
each condition is determined by the alarm level to which the arrhythmia
has been assigned.
ACC VENT Adult—Accelerated ventricular occurs when six or more
ventricular beats are detected with an average heart rate for
the ventricular beat between 50 and 100 beats per minute.
0-2 years—Occurs when six or more ventricular beats are
detected with an average heart rate for the ventricular beat
between 60 and 160 beats per minute.
3-10 years—Occurs when six or more ventricular beats are
detected with an average heart rate for the ventricular beat
between 60 and 140 beats per minute.
11-13 years—Occurs when six or more ventricular beats are
detected with an average heart rate for the ventricular beat
between 60 and 130 beats per minute.
ASYSTOLE Ventricular asystole occurs whenever the displayed heart rate
drops to zero.
BIGEMINY Occurs when three or more bigeminal cycles (a ventricular
beat followed by a non-ventricular beat) are detected.
BRADY Bradycardia is the average of the most recent eight R-to-R
intervals at a heart rate less than the set LOW heart rate limit.
NOTE
The Brady limit matches the low heart rate
limit. If the low heart rate limit is changed,
the Brady limit changes.
COUPLET Occurs when two ventricular beats are detected and have non-
ventricular beats before and after the couplet. The coupling
interval must be less than 600 milliseconds.
IRREGULAR Occurs when six consecutive normal R-to-R intervals vary by
100 milliseconds or more.
