Trends are patient data collected over time and displayed in graphic or tabular form to give you a 
picture of how your patient’s condition is developing. Trend information is stored in the trends 
database for continuously-monitored measurements, such as ECG, as well as for aperiodically-
measured parameters, such as Cardiac Output.

Trend information can be viewed embedded as a screen element on specially-designed Screens, or you 
can open a trend window over the current Screen. 

♦

To view trends embedded as a screen element, select the Screen name in the monitor info line to 
enter the 

 menu, then select a Screen designed to show an embedded trend 

window. 

♦

To open the tabular trends window over the current Screen, select the 

SmartKey. 

♦

To open the graphic trends window over the current Screen, select the 

 

 SmartKey.

The trend windows open displaying the most recent data and are updated as new data 
is stored. A timescale along the bottom of the screen shows you where you are in the 
trends database. The preview column on the right-hand side shows the latest available 
measurement value. The preview column is updated every five minutes or whenever an 
NBP or other aperiodic measurement is completed. 

A question mark (?) beside a value means that the data may not be reliable, due perhaps to an INOP 
condition in the measurement. 

Your monitor screen may look slightly different to the examples shown here.
