2.3.2. Measure blood pressure
You can measure the patient's blood pressure during the recording in two ways:
Manually: you press the blood pressure button yourself, measure the blood pressure,
and enter the values.
According to protocol: the blood pressure is measured according to a protocol defined
in the protocol editor or a default protocol (“Automatic”). The Automatic protocol
initiates a blood-pressure measurement on every load-change. A blood pressure
protocol can either initiate the blood pressure measurement at predefined intervals or
by following the exercise protocol – for more information see page 59.
You sele
ct the blood p
ressure method when you create a new exercise ECG.
Whether blood-pressure values must be entered manually, or are measured and saved
automatically, depends on the type of Blood-pressure device that’s being used.
A number of automatic blood pressure devices can be controlled by the Welch Allyn
CardioPerfect Workstation.
If a device is being used that is not controlled by the Workstation:
1. Measure the blood pressure.
2. Click the Blood pressure button.
The Blood pressure dialog box is
displayed.
3. If a blood-pressure protocol is used, the dialog box appears automatically, so that you
know a measurement should be performed. Enter the blood pressure values.
If a device is being used that is controlled by the workstation:
1. A measurement is started automatically according to the protocol (if selected) or by
pressing the blood-pressure button.
2. The values are automatically stored with the test.
2.3.3. Capture an event
Welch Allyn CardioPerfect Exercise ECG can automatically recognize a number of
arrhythmias. The arrhythmias that can be detected are:
