?:definition
  • Physiologic monitors designed for continuous measurement and display of information of the electrical activity of the heart and its associated electrocardiogram (ECG) that are hard-wired to the patient at the bedside. These monitors include a central unit with electronic circuits that can process a signal from the electrodes and display the numerical values, the ECG waveform. They can perform other functions such as arrhythmia detection, ST-segment analysis, and appropriate initiation of visual/audible alarms. The bioelectric signals are obtained using detachable multileads (e.g., 3, 5-, 6 leads) and the associated electrodes that are usually attached to the thoracic skin. Some bedside monitors provide additional functions, such as 12-lead ECG monitoring and diagnostic interpretation; the monitors are frequently used as a component of a physiologic monitoring system that also includes a central station and/or auxiliary displays.
