Arrhythmia

Excluding Classes from Trends
Use this function to exclude specific classes from the group trend for that class as
well as from the dominant trend graph (only valid with CPL and ABN classes).
This function defaults to YES indicating that all classes will be included. When you
select a class, the template for that class displays on the screen. It is followed by a
trend graph that plots all of the occurrences of that class over the selected trend
graph timebase.
Positioning the Cursors
The cursors are small, bright lines that move along the bottom of the trend display
and allow you to view the number of trended events that occurred between any
two points in time displayed on the trend graph.
Initially, the left (L) cursor is located flush with the left edge of the trend graph, and
the right (R) cursor is located flush with the right edge of the trend graph. The
number of trended events between, and inclusive of, the cursor points appear
below the trend graph. If the cursors move past each other, the L cursor becomes
the R cursor and vice versa. The highlighted L or R portion of the CURSOR key
changes accordingly.
Printing Arrhythmia Data
All printouts of ECG or arrhythmia data are annotated with the following data:
• Bed identification
• Time and date of the printout
• Lead designator
You can print all arrhythmia data for all classes or individually selected classes.
