Patient Monitoring

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

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.

Classification by target parameter

• Cardiac monitoring• Hemodynamic monitoring,• Respiratory monitoring• Neurological monitoring• Blood glucose monitoring• Childbirth monitoring• Body temperature

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.

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.

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).

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,

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.
