17
Q

What is the random error

A

Unpredictable and when averaging repeated measurement tends to reduce or eliminate random errors

18
Q

What is the accuracy of the measurement

A

Closeness of the agreement between the measured value and the true value

19
Q

What is the degree of consistency between repeated measurements of the same quantity

A

Precision

20
Q

Reproducibility is what

A

The ability to maintain precision during long-term use

21
Q

What is the likelihood that when an abnormal situation occurs it will be detected

A

Sensitivity

22
Q

Specificity signifies what

A

The likelihood that when the situation is normal no event will be indicated

23
Q

Which type of monitoring is susceptible to drift

A

Invasive monitoring

24
Q

What things determine the sensitivity and specificity in the system

A

The characteristic of the signal

The mechanics of the sensor

Mechanics of the artifact rejection

Programming by the user

25
Q

Which type of monitoring is susceptible to ringing

A

Artline

26
Q

What is the name of the plot for the comparison of two cardiac output techniques

A

Bland Altman plot

27
Q

Cardiac output devices are more often than not what type of device

A

Thermo dilution device

28
Q

What is drift when determining the quality of measurement

A

Slow low-frequency components of the signal and is a lower frequency than the signal

29
Q

What is the time that it takes for the instrument to get from 10% to 90% of the complete response

A

Rise time

30
Q

Any unwanted interference or unwanted signals that may interfere with the measurement is known as what

A

Noise

31
Q

60 bpm is equivalent to how many hertz

A

One hertz
