Patient Monitoring System System concepts bedside patient monitors

Patient Monitoring System • System concepts, bedside patient monitors, central monitors, Average reading heart rate monitor, Intensive care monitoring, ambulatory monitoring, • Biotelemetry: single channel and multichannel biotelemetry, telephonic data transmission, telemedicine • Patient safety: electric shock hazards, leakage current, methods of reducing leakage current, precaution to minimize electric shock hazards

Patient Monitoring System • Patient monitor as something that watches for —and warns against—serious or lifethreatening events in patients, critically ill or otherwise

Patient Monitoring System • . Patient monitoring Repeated or continuous observations or measurements of the patient, his or her physiological function, and the function of life support equipment

Patient Monitoring in Intensive-Care Units 1. Patients with unstable physiological regulatory systems; for example, a patient whose respiratory system is suppressed by a drug overdose or anesthesia 2. Patients with a suspected life-threatening condition; for example, a patient who has findings indicating an acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) 3. Patients at high risk of developing a life-threatening condition; for example, patients immediately after openheart surgery or a premature infant whose heart and lungs are not fully developed 4. Patients in a critical physiological state; for example, patients with multiple trauma or septic shock. 5. Mother and baby during the labor and delivery process.

Automatic PMS

Bio-Telemetry • To monitor physiological events from a distant place • Monitoring of astronauts during flight. • Monitoring of patients in ambulance while transit to hospital. • Monitoring of patients while obtaining their exercise electrocardiogram

Bio-Telemetry • Monitoring of patients who are permitted to stay away from the hospital • Monitoring of animals in their natural habitat • Transmission of ECG or other medical information through telephone links • Isolating the patients from electricity operated measuring equipment such as ECG equipment in order to prevent any accidental shock to them
