?:definition
  • Physiologic monitors designed for continuous measurement and display of information of the respiratory parameters related to the gas composition of the breathing inspired or exhaled gases and/or the respiratory function mechanics (ventilation). These monitors consist of a central unit with electronic circuits that can process data from attached sensors and display the numerical values and the respiratory cycle waveforms. Respiration monitors intended to measure the pressure and concentration of the breathing gases, to assess the inspiratory and expiratory cycle- (i.e., ventilation) determining parameters such as respiration rate, volume of air, and cessation of breathing (apnea), and/or to measure the conditions (e.g., temperature, pressure) in the ventilation circuit (i.e., the artificial airways) are available. Some bedside and/or intraoperative monitors combine capabilities to assess the respiratory and anesthetic gases simultaneously.
