Patient Monitor – Everything You Should
Know
2023-01-05
The patient monitor, which is the basic equipment configuration of
hospitals at all levels, is being widely used in ICU, CCU, anesthesia,
operating rooms, and clinical departments of hospitals, which can provide
important information on patients’ vital signs to medical staff. Today, this
article will take you to understand the patient monitor definition, patient
monitor function, patient monitor use, patient monitor working principle, and
attention to the patient monitor.
Patient Monitor Definition

A patient monitor is a conventional medical device that mainly monitors
basic vital parameters such as ECG, respiration, non-invasive blood
pressure, blood oxygen saturation, pulse, and body temperature.
In addition, optional patient monitor parameters include invasive blood
pressure, end-tidal carbon dioxide, respiratory mechanics, anesthetic gas,
cardiac output (invasive and non-invasive), EEG bispectral index, etc.
As for patient monitor use, the patient monitor is widely used in emergency
departments, operating rooms, general wards, intensive care units, etc.
This patient monitoring system is a device or system that measures and
controls the patient’s physiological parameters and compares them with
known set values, and sends out an alarm if it exceeds the standard.
What Is the Patient Monitor Function?

The role of the patient monitor is introduced in the following:
The patient monitor is one of the most popular medical instruments in

clinical applications, and it is the necessary equipment for the emergency
department, operating room, and ICU.
In addition to measuring and monitoring the patient’s physiological

parameters, the patient monitor can also monitor and deal with the patient’s
medication and condition before and after the operation.
The use of patient monitors provides a basis for doctors to make the
correct diagnosis and formulate medical plans and greatly reduces the
mortality rate of critically ill patients.
What Is the Patient Monitor Working
Principle?
The working principle of the patient monitor includes analyzing the working
principle of patient monitor from its system structure, circuit structure, etc.,
and also analyzes the working principle of patient monitor monitoring
various physiological parameters, and summarizes its application in
medicine.
Patient Monitor Components

The patient monitor adopts a plug-in design, and the cardiopulmonary
resuscitation quality monitoring unit cooperates with the host to complete
the cardiopulmonary resuscitation quality monitoring function.
The cardiopulmonary resuscitation quality monitoring unit consists of a

blood oxygen module with a cardiopulmonary resuscitation quality index
function (including blood oxygen software components) and a blood oxygen
probe.

Application Of The Patient Monitor

The cardiopulmonary resuscitation quality monitoring function is expected
to be used by clinical medical staff to evaluate the effectiveness of
cardiopulmonary resuscitation in adult patients. In clinical practice, the
quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be comprehensively
evaluated in combination with the patient’s medical history, the cause of
cardiac arrest, other diagnostic results, and the professional judgment of
the clinician.
What Is the Process of Patient Monitor Use?
The process of patient monitor use is very simple. You only need to do 7
steps in the following.
1. Prepared items: mainly include ECG monitor(i.e patient monitoring

system), ECG blood pressure plug-in connecting wire, electrode sheet,
blood oxygen probe, blood pressure extension tube, blood pressure cuff,
etc.
2. Connect the power supply of the ECG monitor (patient monitor) and turn
on the switch.
3. Put the patient in a supine or semi-recumbent position.
4. Wipe the skin of the patient’s chest where the electrodes are attached
with a saline cotton ball.
5. Paste the electrodes, connect the ECG lead wire, and the ECG
oscillogram will appear on the screen.
6. Wear the blood oxygen saturation finger cot/finger clip.
7. Tie the cuff to the two horizontal fingers on the elbow fossa, and set the
alarm limit to measure blood pressure.
What Should Be Paid Attention To When

Patient Monitor Monitoring?
When you use the patient monitor, you should pay attention to the following
7 points.
 The patient monitor must be placed on the platform, and the

surrounding area should be kept dry to avoid moisture.
 Do not use the computer or use a mobile phone when using patient
monitor monitoring, so as not to affect the test results due to
electromagnetic wave interference.
 Properly fix each wire to avoid folding, twisting, winding, etc., and it is
not suitable to pass through the armpit to avoid falling off.
 Inform the patient that the patient monitor cannot be moved at will to
prevent the lead from falling off.
 Patients are not allowed to remove or move the electrodes at will,
and if there is redness and itching of the surrounding skin, inform the
medical staff in time.
 Patients and their family members are not allowed to adjust the
patient monitor function and patient monitor parameters while patient
monitor monitoring at will.
It is forbidden to measure blood pressure on infusion or intubation limbs,

and it is forbidden to tie cuffs for those with local skin damage.
