What is Flo Trac used for?
The FloTrac system algorithm enables the display and use of SVV in patients with multiple premature atrial or ventricular contractions and allows you to guide volume resuscitation despite most arrhythmias.
What is an EV1000?
The EV1000 clinical platform enables you to choose the parameters needed to monitor your patients and may be used with a variety of Edwards Lifesciences advanced hemodynamic monitoring tools for individualized patient care.
What is a normal PVR value?
A normal value for pulmonary vascular resistance using conventional units is 0.25–1.6 mmHg·min/l. Pulmonary vascular resistance can also be represented in units of dynes/sec/cm5 (normal = 37-250 dynes/sec/cm5). Poiseuille’s law has also been used to model PVR (Figure 2).
What does SVV mean?
UNDERSTANDING STROKE VOLUME VARIATION (SVV)
How do you zero a FloTrac?
Open the FloTrac sensor to atmospheric air. Rotate the navigation knob on the Vigileo monitor to Zero and press the knob. Select Return to exit screen.
What is the preload and afterload?
Preload is the initial stretching of the cardiac myocytes (muscle cells) prior to contraction. It is related to ventricular filling. Afterload is the force or load against which the heart has to contract to eject the blood.
How does the Vigileo work?
The FloTrac®/Vigileo device uses arterial pressure waveform analysis to calculate stroke volume and cardiac output; it does not require calibration against an independent measurement of cardiac output.
What are the clinical uses of Edwards EV1000?
EV1000 clinical platform. The platform may be used with the Edwards advanced hemodynamic monitoring portfolio including the ClearSight finger cuff, FloTrac sensor, Edwards oximetry central venous catheter and PediaSat oximetry catheters and VolumeView set.
How does the FloTrac sensor work with Edwards EV1000?
The FloTrac sensor integrates with the Edwards EV1000 clinical platform to show patient status at a glance, for visual clinical support and increased clarity in volume administration during moderate-high-risk surgical procedures.
What is the EV1000 clinical platform model number?
EV1000 System Model Number EV1000 Clinical Platform EV1000A EV1000 Monitor Model Number Monitor EV1000M Monitor Bracket EVMB1
What are the screen options on the EV1000?
Screen options include the real-time physiology screen (both intermittent and continuous), the cockpit screen, the goal positioning screen, graphical trend screen and the physio-relationship screen. Visual clinical support.
