Entering Height, Weight, and BSA
Table 1 lists the default values and valid ranges for height, weight, and BSA (body
surface area). You can adjust the values up or down within the valid range. The
values last set for height, weight, and BSA remain until manually changed.
The parameter value can be displayed in either U.S or metric units (see your
system administrator for details). The system automatically computes BSA from
the values entered for height and weight and uses this BSA value to obtain
indexed values for physiologic calculations such as Cardiac Output.
Toggle the ADULT/NEONATE key to display the respective adult and neonatal
default values for height, weight, and BSA.
Using the On-Screen Keypad (Ultraview 1030/1050/1500/1600 only)
When you select either the HEIGHT, WEIGHT, or BSA parameter key, an on-
screen keypad will appear displaying the selected parameter in the upper left
corner (Figure 3-3). The current parameter value is displayed in the upper right
corner. You can change this parameter value up or down using the arrow keys, or
you can use the keypad numbers to enter up to seven digits, including a decimal
point. The system recognizes any value within the range that displays immediately
below the keypad. The default values for height, weight, and BSA are displayed if
other values are not available.

• On central monitors, the ADULT/NEONATE key appears dotted
if the remote monitor where the admit/discharge occurs does
not support the patient type selection.
