Assign measurements to the waking or sleeping period
The measurements in an ABP test are divided into two categories:
Measurements that were taken when the patient was awake (waking period).
Measurements that were taken when the patient was asleep (sleeping period).
This is done according to the default ABP settings. Usually this division consists of an 8-
hour night and a 16-hour day. When you read back the measurements, you can change the
sleeping period values so that they reflect the patient's actual sleeping period.
You can change the period to which a measurement was assigned. This can be necessary,
for instance when the patient has not slept very well and decided to read a book. He might
also have decided to sleep in.
To assign a measurement from the sleeping period to the waking period:
1. Right click on the measurement that you want to assign to the waking period.
2. In the shortcut menu, click Set awake. The gray shade is removed from the
measurement to indicate that the patient was awake when this measurement was
taken.
To assign measurements from the waking period to the sleeping period:
1. Right click on the measurement that you want to assign to the sleeping period.
2. In the shortcut menu, click Set asleep. A gray shade is added to the measurement to
indicate that the patient was asleep when this measurement was taken.
Add a comment
When you want to make note of something in a measurement, you can add a comment to
that measurement.
To add a comment:
1. In the Measurements view, click on Comment field of the measurement to which you
want to add the comment. The field becomes active, and a pointer appears, click again
on the field and a cursor appears.
2. Enter your comment. The comment is automatically saved with the test.
Temporarily hide a measurement from a test
When you do not want to view a measurement, but do not want to delete it from the test
either, you can temporarily hide it.
To temporarily hide a measurement:
1. In the Measurements view, click the measurement that you want to hide.
2. Right click on the measurement. In the shortcut menu, click Exclude. The measurement
number is put between brackets to indicate that this measurement is not used in the
test at the moment. The measurement is not used in any of the measurements or
graphs in the other views.
