3. Patient monitoring
In medicine, monitoring is the observation of a
disease, condition or one or several medical
parameters over time.
It can be performed by continuously measuring
certain parameters by using a medical monitor
4. What are vital signs?
Vital signs are measurements of the body's most basic functions. The
four main vital signs routinely monitored by medical professionals and
health care providers include the following:
•Body temperature
•Pulse rate
•Respiration rate (rate of breathing)
•Blood pressure (Blood pressure is not considered a vital sign, but is
often measured along with the vital signs.)
•Vital signs are useful in detecting or monitoring medical problems.
Vital signs can be measured in a medical setting, at home, at the site of
a medical emergency, or elsewhere.
6. Classification by target parameter
• Cardiac monitoring
• Hemodynamic monitoring,
• Respiratory monitoring
• Neurological monitoring
• Blood glucose monitoring
• Childbirth monitoring
• Body temperature
7. Cardiac Monitor Defibrillators
• The phase cardiac monitoring generally refers to continuous monitoring of the
heart activity,
• Monitor/Defibrillators
• Some digital patient monitors, especially those used EMS services, often
incorporate a defibrillator into the patient monitor itself.
8. Hemodynamic monitoring
• Cardiac output and flow rate ;
• The heart is the driver of the circulatory system, pumping blood
through rhythmic contraction and relaxation.
• The rate of blood flow out of the heart meaning literally "blood flow,
motion and equilibrium under the action of external forces", is the
study of blood flow or the circulation. It explains the physical laws
that govern the flow of blood in the blood vessels.
9. Respiratory monitoring
• Measurement of airway pressure (Paw), flow (F) and volume (Vol) during
mechanical ventilation assists in the differential diagnosis of respiratory
failure. Airway occlusion technique makes possible to carefully characterize
the mechanics of the lung, chest wall, and the total respiratory monitoring
system
• Pulse oximetry ;which involves measurement of the saturated percentage of
oxygen in the blood, referred to as SpO2, and measured by an infrared finger
cuff,
• Capnography ;, which involves CO2 measurements, referred to as (EtCO2) or
end-tidal carbon dioxide concentration. The respiratory rate monitored as such
is called AWRR or (airway respiratory rate).
10. Neurological monitoring - EEG
• Intracranial pressure. Also, there are special patient
monitors which incorporate the monitoring of brain waves
• Blood glucose meter ; is an electronic device for
measuring the blood glucose level
• Childbirth; also known as labour, delivery, birth,
11. Body temperature monitoring
• Body temperature" redirects here. For information
regarding normal human body temperature,
12. Components of Medical monitor
• Sensor
• Translating component
• Display device
• Communication links
• Alarm

29. Use of computers for patient
monitoring
real-time monitoring
Wherever you are – in the hospital, at home, or on the road – you have
access to the patient information you need to make informed clinical
decisions via Web and iPad access. IntelliVue Information Center iX
offers virtually anywhere, anytime access to key patient monitoring
information.
