Introduction

• Monitoring is essential in any kind of medical
  practice. It is the observation of disease,
  condition and several other parameters over time.
  
• Usually a medical monitor is used for
  continuously measuring vital signs.
• Monitoring can be classified by the target of
  interest.

Most Common Monitored Parameters

• Cardiac monitoring  This generally includes
  continuous electrocardiography. The patients
  condition is assessed relative to their cardiac
  rhythm.
• Hemodynamic monitoring  In this kind of
  monitoring, the blood pressure and blood flow
  within the circulatory system is monitored.
• Respiratory monitoring  Pulse oxymetry includes
  the measurement of the saturated percentage of
  oxygen in the blood. The CO2 levels can also be
  measured using respiratory monitoring. Other than
  that AWRR (Airway Respiratory Rate) can be
  monitored too.

Most Common Monitored Parameters

• Neurological monitoring  Monitoring of the
  intracranial pressure and brain EEG monitoring us
  a part of neurological monitoring.
• Blood glucose monitoring is also an essential
  parameter to be monitored in patients.
• Body temperature monitoring is important in
  certain cases.

• Monitoring the vital parameters include ensuring
  that most of the above mentioned parameters are
  within acceptable range.
• Anything beyond that would require medical
  attention sometimes even urgent attention.
• The most common parameters that are monitored are
  blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate
  and pulse oximetry.
• Multi-parameter monitors can simultaneously
  measure and display the relevant vital
  parameters. They are most widely used as bed side
  monitors. These are used in critical care units
  and operating rooms. These kinds of monitors
  allow for continuous monitoring of a patient and
  the medical staff is continuously updated and
  informed of any changes in the stats.

• This gives them real time information about the
  condition of the patient. Some of the advanced
  monitors can even warn about the pending fatal
  cardiac conditions before visible signs are
  noticeable.
• A monitor basically consists of one or more
  sensors, processing components and display
  devices.
• It also consists of communication links for
  displaying or recording the results. Sensors
  usually include biosensors and mechanical
  sensors.
• Translating components are responsible for
  converting the signals from the sensors to some
  format that can be displayed on the external
  display or recording device.
• The display device is used to display the
  physiological data continuously on a CRT or LED
  or LCD screen. Most of the modern display devices
  also use digital signal processing (DSP) which
  can also track multiple parameters at a time.

7

• With such multiple parameter monitors it is
  possible to detect changes or absence of changes
  in the clinical status of the patient.
• The doctors can then take an informed decision
  about the treatment plan and the course of action
  needed to be taken for that particular patient
  depending on the readings of the monitor.
• One of the leading medical equipment supplier
  Silverline Meditech, which supply  Multipara
  Monitor in India at affordable rates.
