A patient monitor is a medical device used to continuously detect, process and deploy the vital parameters of a patient under continuous medical surveillance, including respiratory rate, blood pressure, body temperature and pulse. This device performs a real-time recording of these parameters, reflecting their information in the form of waves and numbers for further clinical interpretation.
Patient monitors are very useful in health institutions where emergency and hospitalization services are provided. It is equipped with a series of alarms that alert health personnel when there is an adverse situation or outside the desired limits, although these can be silenced if they are trying to solve the problem that has generated them.
