Medical monitor is a device or system that can measure and control the physiological parameters of patients. It can be compared with known set values, and if it exceeds the standard, it can give an alarm.
The monitor must continuously monitor the patient's physiological parameters for 24 hours, detect the changing trend, point out the critical situation, and provide the basis for doctors' first aid and treatment, so as to minimize complications and achieve the purpose of relieving and eliminating diseases. The purpose of the monitor is not only to measure and monitor physiological parameters, but also to monitor and handle the situation before and after medication and operation.
With the steady growth of China's medical device market, medical monitors used to be mainly used for the monitoring of critically ill patients, but now they have developed into the monitoring of general wards, and even grassroots medical units and community medical units have put forward the demand for application.

The role of the monitor:
Monitors are different from monitoring diagnostic instruments. It must continuously monitor the physiological parameters of patients for 24 hours, detect the changing trend, point out the critical situation, and provide the basis for first aid and treatment for doctors, so as to minimize complications and achieve the purpose of relieving and eliminating diseases.
The purpose of the monitor is not only to measure and monitor physiological parameters, but also to monitor and handle the situation before and after medication and operation.
The standard six parameters of the monitor are ECG, respiration, noninvasive blood pressure, oxygen saturation, pulse and body temperature. In addition, optional parameters include: invasive blood pressure, end-expiratory carbon dioxide, respiratory mechanics, anesthetic gas, cardiac output (invasive and noninvasive), bispectral index, etc.
Clinical application scope of the monitor: intraoperative and postoperative, trauma care, coronary heart disease, critically ill patients, newborns, premature infants, hyperbaric oxygen chambers, delivery rooms, etc.
