This software is used to monitor patients using a live feed from hardwire and mobile cameras.
What is Milestone?
There are two of these chambers within the heart. They are responsible for sending large volumes of blood outside of the heart to other parts of the body.
What are ventricles?
Usually seen as a result of a patient's respirations, this irregular rhythm is considered non-pathological in most cases.
What is sinus arrhythmia?
One of these can be used to monitor a stepdown patient when they are being transported.
What is a tram?
Every four hours, or any time an event occurs, one of these is exported to Epic.
What is a strip?
These lines allow the nurse to administer medications, draw blood, or give fluids/nutrition.
What is an IV?
This structure, located in the right atrium, is made up of pacemaker cells that fire at an intrinsic rate of 60-100bpm.
What is the SA Node?
This rhythm, often not a cause for concern, can be seen in patients who are exerting themselves, anxious, or upset.
What is sinus tachycardia?
When preparing a tele pack for a patient, include a pack, a battery, a pack of electrodes, the patient info card, and one of these.
What is a leadset?
These alarms continue to go off even once the event has ended and will continue until acknowledged.
What are red alarms?
These bulb-shaped devices are used to drain blood, fluid, or air from a surgical site, and are often pinned to a patient's gown for added security.
What is a JP Drain?
This bundle branch is made up of two fascicles, the anterior and the posterior, in order to depolarize the larger of the two ventricles.
What is the Left Bundle Branch?
This macro-reentrant rhythm can see atrial rates from 150-250bpm and is recognizable by its characteristic "sawtooth" pattern.
What is aflutter?
Use this menu option for new admits, transfers in and out of the unit, and adding equipment.
What is Manage Patient?
This reading shows a patient's SpO2 percentage as a result of each heartbeat.
What is a pleth wave?
As soon as a camera is in place and operational in a patient's room, this can be done on their log and in Epic.
What is initiation?
This is the largest artery within the body. It stems from the left ventricle of the heart, and branches into nearly every other artery in the body.
What is the aorta?
This arrhythmia is the most common arrhythmia in pediatric patients, especially infants and newborns.
What is SVT?
For continuous telemetry in an inpatient setting, there are five of these attached to a patient's chest and abdomen.
What are electrodes?
This yellow alarm will sound if the monitor detects an irregular rhythm without P waves.
What is Afib?
Seen on a patient's dashboard in Epic, this precaution requires a constant observer, Styrofoam containers, and minimized ligature risk in the room.
What is a High Suicide Risk?
Surgery on these structures within the heart is one of the most common causes for junctional rhythms and ectopy.
What are valves?
This rhythm is often treated with a pacemaker and is likely to progress to a complete heart block if left untreated.
What is a 2° Type II/Mobitz II?
2If your patient needs continuous pulse ox monitoring using a tele pack, they'll need one of these.
What is an SpO2 adapter?
This button can be used to review a patient's previously saved strips from a different unit.
What is Prior Data?
