vitalAperiodic

Purpose: The vitalAperiodic table provides invasive vital sign data which is interfaced into eCareManager at irregular intervals.

Links to:

  • PATIENT on patientUnitStayID

Important considerations

The following vital signs are referred to as aperiodic vital signs, as they are not captured by the system on a regular basis (non-invasive BP can be triggered at an unpredictable variety of time intervals):

  • Cardiac output
  • Cardiac Index
  • Pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (“wedge pressure” - PAOP)
  • SVR / SVRI
  • PVR / PVRI
  • Non-invasive blood pressure
