MamaAnne

Pulses

MamaAnne features automatic bilateral carotid, brachial, radial, femoral and pedal 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.
