Patient Monitor, Vital Signs Monitor, ECG Monitor, EKG Monitor, Medical Monitor

Medical professionals and healthcare providers routinely monitor four main vital signs: body temperature, pulse rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure. In the medical practice of cardiology, the measurement and recording of the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time (known as ECG / EKG or electrocardiography) is also fundamental to patient care.

Multi-parameter patient monitors support the conduct of patient care in doctors’ offices, outpatient facilities, hospital operating rooms, hospital critical care facilities, and during EMS and non-emergency ambulance transport. There may also be a need for bedside measurement of vital signs in low-acuity post-anesthetic care and during sleep studies. Patient monitors are used to monitor adults, pediatrics and neonates.

Particular vital signs may be the most important to monitor in varying medical situations. For example, the measurement of SpO2 (“saturation of peripheral oxygen”) is needed during surgery and in the recovery room to ensure proper patient care.

Multi-parameter patient monitors provide the composite view required, at a glance. Many include configurable vital signs settings and both audio and visual comprehensive alarms. Various sizes exist, with variable numbers of parameters monitored. Portability and multi-use capabilities offer high cost-performance ratios by negating the need for multiple types of monitors. This vital equipment provides care teams more of the information they need while at the patient’s side.
