Patient Monitor

A patient monitor is a medical device used to observe and measure a patient's vital signs and other key health metrics in real-time. These devices are crucial in hospitals, clinics, and sometimes at home to track a patient's condition and ensure timely interventions when necessary.

• Heart Rate (HR): Measures the number of heartbeats per minute. This is an essential indicator of cardiovascular health.

• Blood Pressure (BP): Monitors the force of blood against the walls of arteries; typically includes systolic and diastolic pressure.

• Oxygen Saturation (SpO2): Indicates the percentage of oxygen in the blood, which is essential for ensuring proper oxygenation.

• Respiratory Rate (RR): Respiratory Rate (RR): Monitors how many breaths a person takes per minute.

• Temperature: Monitors the patient's body temperature to detect fever or hypothermia.

• ECG (Electrocardiogram): Some advanced patient monitors also include an ECG feature to track the electrical activity of the heart.

• Capnography: Measures the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in exhaled air, providing insight into respiratory function.
