Patient Monitor
Description:
key features of a patient monitor:
-
Vital Sign Monitoring: Patient monitors continuously track and display vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation (SpO2), and sometimes temperature. This real-time monitoring allows healthcare providers to quickly assess a patient's condition and detect changes that may require immediate intervention.
-
Alarm System: Patient monitors are equipped with alarms that alert healthcare providers to abnormal readings or critical conditions. These alarms notify caregivers of potential issues such as low oxygen levels, irregular heartbeats, or high blood pressure, ensuring timely response and patient safety.
