Patient monitors
Patient monitors are designed to monitor vital functions in real time. Modern devices monitor the indicators automatically and promptly notify medical personnel of deviations from the specified values. The alert system operates on the principle of an audible signal and is connected to the medical alarm module.
The intensity level and nature of the signal vary depending on the degree of threat to the patient's life. Rad Pharm offers patient monitors for equipping intensive care units, resuscitation and anesthesiology departments. Dynamic monitoring of the patient's vital functions allows you to promptly respond to changes in indicators and provide medical care.
The device consists of a monitor and measuring modules with sensors that are connected to the patient's body. The sensor system collects information, the measuring modules interpret the results. The monitor is used to display the information received. The diagonal of the monitor varies among different models, on average it is 12-15 inches. The amount of information displayed and the size of the visual indicators depend on the diagonal of the screen.
Types and characteristics of patient monitors
Real-time monitoring warns the doctor about possible complications and deterioration of the patient's condition. Depending on the design features, there are devices that operate on liquid crystals and on a cathode-ray tube. Liquid crystal models combine the functions of an electrocardiograph, pulse oximeter, capnometer and other diagnostic equipment. Modern devices have improved technical characteristics:
- Compact size.
- Economical power consumption.
- High screen resolution.
- Good data visibility.
Depending on the purpose, there are anesthetic, resuscitation and fetal models. In the first case, the patient's condition is monitored after anesthesia or during preparation for surgery. Anesthetic models show the concentration of anesthetic in the blood, perform invasive and non-invasive measurement of blood pressure.
Devices used in intensive care units to monitor the vital functions of seriously ill people additionally show the nature of hemodynamics and ventilation parameters if the patient is connected to a ventilator. Fetal monitors are used to analyze the condition of a pregnant woman and fetus. Data obtained using a patient monitor:
- Blood pressure indicators.
- Information about the work of the heart in the format of a cardiogram (strength and rhythm of heart contractions, volume of cardiac output, degree of blood supply to the heart muscle).
- The degree of oxygenation (oxygen saturation) of the blood.
- The level of saturation of the blood with carbon dioxide.
- Characteristics of the respiratory system (frequency, rhythm, nature of respiratory movements).
- Body temperature.
Fetal models additionally show the intensity of contraction of the uterine muscles, the nature of fetal movement, and intrauterine pressure values. The control module of the device is designed to select the desired settings and parameters. Some devices have an option to hide information that is currently unnecessary. Large graphic data mode selection is available - images of numbers, graphs and other visual forms.
A number of models provide the option of combining information obtained from different patients into a single database for subsequent statistical processing and scientific research. The ability to integrate the device with computer equipment allows you to record and process data obtained over a certain period of time. Thanks to the ability to connect to a printer, the received information is available in printed form.
