?:definition
  • Physiologic monitors designed for to continuously measure and display the characteristics of the respiratory function mechanics (i.e., the inspiration and expiration cycle) including the cessation of breathing for a period longer than a pre-established lapse of time (i.e., apnea). These monitors typically measure several breathing parameters (e.g., respiratory rate, volume of air) in addition to detection of apnea. Ventilation/apnea monitors usually include audible and visual alarms which allow the user to set threshold limits for the time span needed to activate the alarms. Some monitors are specifically intended for use at the bedside and/or intraoperatively. Dedicated monitors for infant and neonate use are also available.
