So right now we're taking a look at our Spacelabs Cube monitor. You can see
right now we have our ECG waveform coming in at around 70 beats per minute.
And I'm going to show you a couple functions on the device. So to start out
with, we're going to select ECG size and we can change the size of the waveform.
This is mainly for viewing purposes, if the nurse or the clinician wants to be
able to focus in on something go back. We can also go to setup go to sweep speed.
This allows us to change how much information we're going to view and that
ECG signal so if I go to 25 millimeters per second you can see, I can see a lot
more QRS complexes there and even more if I do 12 point five millimeters per
second. This would be similar to changing the time scale on your O scope. All right
I'm going to go back. The other thing we can view from here, is we can view our alarm
limits so we can see our high and low alarms. Also, if we want to print this
waveform, we go to ECG print. And you can select what you want to print. If you
want to print all, go there. Now right now, the printers are off, it's been suspended
but that's how you would do it. Okay in this video I'm going to talk about how
to set the alarm on the SP02 sensor, so if we go to SP02 we click on alarm
limits you can see we have our high or low in or desaturation.
So if we go to low we can modify that with the arrows here. So I'm going to set
that to 90 and then go back.
Alright, next I'm going to use my SP02 tester to generate a signal that is
expected to turn off the alarm or set off the alarm. All right, there we go.
So you can see the alarm is going off, then go ahead and suspend that alarm for now.
If we go back in here, we can go back to the alarm on this, you notice there was a
about a five-second delay before that alarm went off that can be modified if
we need to - whatever we want it to be. The other thing we can do here is just
suspend processing if we don't want to use the SP02 sensor anymore. So the next
thing we're going to do is check our non-invasive blood pressure alarm limits.
So if we go to NIBP alarm limits we can see that our high is set to 150, our
low is set to 100. Now if I go over to my tester to see how to set up my
non-invasive blood pressure measurements, I'll see that I currently have my tester
set over here I want to set it to check the high of 150 so 190 over 120 will be
plenty so I'm going to go ahead and run this test.
They always run as we run this test we are going to expect that NIBP alarm to go
off. Okay so our alarm is going off. You can see right here alarm violation
non-invasive blood pressure and obviously if you wanted to we can just
come over to our tester. We can then, once the test is over, set our new value to a
low value and then retest the low alarm limit. That's all I have for the patient
monitor right now. I hope that was useful.
