Difference between cardiac and patient monitors

Patient monitors and cardiac monitors are the same thing. Since the early monitors only monitor the electrocardiogram signals, it is customary to refer to the monitors as cardiac monitors. Due to the subsequent development and progress of medical equipment, most notably the need for clinical monitoring of vital indicators, there will be important vital signs, such as blood pressure, oxygen saturation, respiratory pressure curve, pulse rate, temperature and other indicators and electrocardiogram collection, which is now commonly referred to as the "patient monitor. If used for special purposes, such as anesthesia, carbon dioxide gas concentration (anesthesia workstation), as well as some special anesthesia gas concentration values, real-time display, monitoring, that is, anesthesia workstation. The next popular indicator is the muscle relaxation indicator, which will be integrated into a new anesthesia workstation.
