Patient Monitor

A patient monitor is a vital medical device used to continuously track a patient's vital signs, such as heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation. These monitors provide real-time data, allowing healthcare professionals to assess a patient’s condition and respond quickly to any changes. Typically found in hospitals, emergency rooms, and intensive care units, patient monitors can be standalone devices or part of a larger monitoring system. They often feature alarms to alert staff of critical changes, ensuring timely intervention. By facilitating constant surveillance, patient monitors play a crucial role in improving patient safety and outcomes.
