Selecting Index Normalization
To individualize the values to the patient, the system calculates them with the
BSA. Cardiac Index (CI) and Stroke Volume Index (SVI) are automatically
displayed.
You can display either the Systemic Vascular Resistance (SVR) and the
Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR) or their indexed values (SVRI and PVRI),
but not both simultaneously. Similarly, you can display the Left Ventricular Stroke
Work (LVSW) and the Right Ventricular Stroke Work (RVSW) or their indexed
values (LVSWI and RVSWI), but not both simultaneously.
Displaying Cardiac Index and Cardiac
Output Values
The cardiac output or both cardiac output/index values can be displayed with the
curves. If the CO portion of the CO|CO/CI key is highlighted, only the cardiac
output value will be displayed. To activate the display for the cardiac output and
cardiac index values, touch the CO|CO/CI key to highlight the CO/CI segment. If
the cardiac index value is available, then it is displayed when the CO parameter is
inactive.
To select indexing:
1 Touch CO.
2 Touch CARDIAC OUTPUT.
3 Touch CALCS.
4 Select VR INDEX ON or
SW INDEX ON.
To display both cardiac output
and cardiac index values:
1 Touch CO|CO/CI.
