Patient Monitor
A patient monitor is a medical device capable of continuously and dynamically tracking various physiological parameters of a patient; it is used to detect changes in a patient's condition at an early stage and provide healthcare professionals with a basis for clinical intervention.
Standard Monitoring Parameters
A standard six-parameter patient monitor typically includes the following:
• Electrocardiogram (ECG): Monitors heart rhythm and electrical activity of the heart.
• Respiration (RESP): Monitors the respiratory rate.
• Non-invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP): Measures blood pressure, either intermittently or continuously.
• Oxygen Saturation (SpO2): Measures the oxygen content in the blood.
• Pulse Rate (PR): Detects the patient's pulse.
• Body Temperature (TEMP): Monitors core body temperature.
Common Classifications and Application Scenarios
• By portability: Categorized into stationary units (typically used in intensive care settings such as ICUs or operating rooms) and portable units (used for emergency transport, etc.).
• By patient population: Supports monitoring modes tailored to different physiological stages, including adults, pediatrics, and neonates.
