CARDIOSAVE triggers
Triggering
•
A Trigger is the signal that CARDIOSAVE uses to
identify the beginning of the next cardiac cycle
•
When CARDIOSAVE recognizes the trigger event,
it will deflate the balloon if not already deflated
•
Trigger Source keys are only active while in
Semi-Auto operation mode
CARDIOSAVE Triggers
ECG
Trigger event is the R-Wave
•
Trigger of choice when an adequate R-Wave is present
•
Pacer spikes are automatically rejected
Pressure
Trigger event is the systolic upstroke
•
Trigger of choice (with a regular rhythm) when an
adequate R-Wave is not present
•
A fixed pressure threshold can be manually set while
in Semi-Auto operation mode
Pacer V/AV
Trigger event is the Ventricular pacer spike
•
Typically used when ECG triggering is unsuccessful
and a V or AV pacer is being used
•
Must be 100% paced
•
Only available in Semi-Auto operation mode
Pacer A
Trigger event is the R-Wave
•
Recommended only if atrial pacer tails are interfering
with R-Wave detection while in ECG trigger
•
Only available in Semi-Auto operation mode
Internal
Trigger event is asynchronous at a fixed rate of 80 BPM
•
Only used when there is no mechanical cardiac cycle
(i.e.: cardiopulmonary bypass or asystole)
•
Rate can be adjusted from 40 to 120 BPM
•
Only available in Semi-Auto operation mode
