How VS Trends Work
Each active vital sign can be displayed graphically for time ranges of 30 minutes, and 1, 2, 4, and
8 hours. The vital signs are HR, SpO
2
, SpCO, SpMet, CO
2
, Temp, and RR; and systolic, diastolic,
and mean pressures. Data is sampled every 30 seconds. If valid data is not available, a blank space
is substituted on the graph. NIBP values are plotted only when an NIBP measurement is obtained.
VS measurements are not averaged or filtered. No messages or alarms occur based on changes in
VS measurements.
