?:definition
  • Physiologic monitors designed primarily for automated periodic and/or quasi-continuous real-time measurement and display of information of the electrical activity of the heart and its associated electrocardiogram (ECG) and two or more of the vital signs (e.g., noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, heart rate) and oxygen saturation in the blood (SpO2). These monitors typically consist of an electronic unit connected by several lead wires attached to cardiac electrodes and other physiologic sensors that are usually placed on the patient\'s skin (e.g., chest); some monitors are hard-wired to the patient at the bedside while other smaller units send telemetric data from the patient to a main monitor or a central station where the where the information is also displayed. The monitors can also process and display information of all vital signs and/or other physiologic parameters. ECG/vital signs bedside monitors are used primarily in intensive care units while telemetric monitors are mainly used for non-critical cardiology assessment.
