If the chest tube is green, the chest tube drainage is low; if the chest tube is red, the drainage is high (greater than 300 ml/hr., this is configurable). b. Patient View, Chest Tube Output: When the chest tube icon is tapped a trend plot of chest tube drainage and incremental chest tube output is presented. c. Patient View, Hemodynamics: The current blood pressure is presented to the right of the aortic arch icon and the current CVP or PAD pressures are presented below the heart. When the heart icon is tapped trend plots of blood pressure, pulmonary artery pressures and CVP pressures are presented. The patient’s cardiac comorbidities are also presented above the trend plots. d. Patient View,  Renal Function: By tapping the kidney on the right the trend and increments of urine output are presented
