Patient Monitors

Abbreviation / other name

Bedside monitor, Physiological Monitoring System, Vital signs monitor
Monitor = to keep a check and display

What does it do

Patient Monitors gather vital medical information from the patient, display it on a screen and alerts medical staff of any undesirable health condition

Physiology

Patient monitors record many parameters from the patient by using different methods. The parameters can include ECG, IBP, NIBP, temperature, SpO2, cardiac output, heart rate, respiration rate, respiratory gases, EEG and transcutaneous blood gasses

How it works

The monitor gathers patient data using various methods for the different parameters (see sections on ECG, IBP, NIBP, temperature, SpO2, cardiac output, heart rate, respiration rate, respiratory gases, EEG and transcutaneous blood gasses) The inputs are then amplified and processed and are displayed as a waveform and/or a numerical value. Alarm limits can then be adjusted to desired levels to alert the medical staff of undesirable health conditions

Units of measurement

Heart rate: beats per minute (BPM),
Blood pressures: mmHg,
Temperature: degrees Celsius (oC), SPO2: %,
Cardiac Output: litres per minute (L/min), Respiratory Rate:
breaths per min (BPM),
Respiratory gases: % or partial pressure mmHg

Typical values

ADULT: Heart Rate: 50-90 BPM, Blood pressure: 120/80 (100) mmHg, Temperature: 37oC, SPO2: 95-100%, Cardiac Output: 6 L/min, Respiratory Rate: 12 BPM, Expired gases: Nitrogen 79%, Oxygen 17%, Carbon dioxide 4%

Neonates: Heart Rate: 120-180 BPM, Blood pressure: ??? Temperature: 37oC, SPO2: 95-98%, Cardiac Output: ?? mL/min, Respiratory Rate: 40-80 BPM, Expired gases: Nitrogen 79%, Oxygen 17%, Carbon dioxide 4%..
