Updating ST Baseline Snippets
ST analysis requires valid samples to measure and store a snippet. ST Snippets and ST values are
updated every minute. If there is artifact in the signal, it may take longer for an ST snippet and an ST
value to appear.
The first baseline is stored automatically after ST monitoring is started, or when a new patient is
admitted. To update ST baselines,
1 Select an ST snippet to open the ST Baseline window.
2 In the ST Baseline window, select Update Baseline to store all current snippets as
baselines. This deletes all previously-stored baselines.
Recording ST Segments
To record all currently available ST snippets and baselines, in the ST Baseline window, select
the pop-up key Record ST.
