MA_Pulses.svg Pulses

Pulses are synchronized with the ECG and can be controlled separately in the right and left limbs. They can be adjusted with three different levels: weak, normal, and strong.

NOTES

  • Use of excessive force when palpating pulses will result in no pulse felt.

  • Pulses are inactive when not palpated and turn off after two seconds of no palpation.

  • Brachial pulse is disabled and turned off when the pressure in the BP cuff is larger than 20 mmHg.

  • Radial pulse is turned off when the pressure in the BP cuff is larger or equal to the set systolic BP.

  • Pulses on PVCs (Premature Ventricular Complexes) have half the strength of a normal QRS and a normal QRS following a PVC will have 3/2 the strength of a normal QRS.
