A patient monitor with 5 parameters from Contec, typically mounted on a stand, is a medical device used to continuously monitor vital signs of a patient. These monitors track five critical parameters and are essential in various healthcare settings like hospitals, ICUs, emergency rooms, and during surgery. The monitor is mounted on a stand for ease of mobility and accessibility during patient care.
Key parameters typically monitored include:
- ECG (Electrocardiogram): Monitors heart rate and electrical activity of the heart.
- SPO2 (Oxygen Saturation): Measures the level of oxygen in the blood.
- NIBP (Non-invasive Blood Pressure): Monitors the patient’s blood pressure without invasive procedures.
- Respiration Rate: Tracks the rate of breathing, detecting any abnormalities in the respiratory system.
- Temperature: Measures body temperature to monitor fever or hypothermia.
Key features of a 5-parameter patient monitor with stand (Contec) include:
- Clear digital display: Shows real-time vital signs in an easy-to-read format.
- Alarms: Audio and visual alarms alert caregivers to any abnormal readings.
- Data storage: Records and stores patient data for review.
- Mobile stand: Equipped with wheels for easy movement around the room, ensuring it can be positioned near the patient as needed.
- Battery backup: Ensures continuous monitoring in case of power failure or when transporting patients.
This type of patient monitor is widely used in critical care, post-operative recovery, and emergency settings to provide continuous and real-time monitoring, allowing healthcare providers to respond quickly to changes in a patient’s condition.
