Imped in medical terms means: monitor.
Monitor:
It is a device or system designed to measure and control a patient's physiological parameters, which can be compared with known set values and can sound an alarm if there is an exceedance.
Instrument classification:
Divided into four categories based on their structure: portable monitors, plug-in monitors, telemetry monitors, and HOLTER (24-hour ambulatory electrocardiogram) electrocardiographic monitors.
Divided into three categories according to function: bedside monitor, central monitor, discharge monitor (telemetry monitor).
Bedside monitor is set up in the bedside with the patient connected to the instrument, the patient's physiological parameters or some state of continuous monitoring, to be displayed to the alarm or record, it can also be with the central monitor to form a whole to work.
Central monitor, also known as the central system monitor, which is composed of the main monitor and a number of bedside monitors, through the main monitor can control the work of the bedside monitors, the situation of a number of monitored objects at the same time for monitoring, one of the important task is to complete the abnormal physiological parameters and the automatic recording of medical records.
Leaving the hospital monitor (telemetry monitor) so that the patient can carry a small electronic monitor, can be in and out of the hospital on the patient's some kind of physiological parameters for continuous monitoring, for doctors to carry out non-real-time examination.

Expanded Information
Meaning of "monitor"
A medical monitor is a device or system that measures and controls a patient's physiological parameters, compares them with known settings, and sounds an alarm if they are exceeded. Monitor it must be 24 hours continuous monitoring of the patient's physiological parameters, check out the trend of change, pointing out the critical situation for the doctor emergency treatment and treatment basis, so that complications to minimize the purpose of alleviating and eliminating the condition.
The purpose of the monitor is not only to measure and monitor the physiological parameters, but also to monitor and deal with the conditions before and after the medication and surgery.
With the steady growth of China's medical equipment market, medical monitors have also developed from the past, mainly used for the monitoring of critically ill patients, to the current monitoring of general wards, and even the primary health care units and community health care units also put forward the application of the demand.
In 2009, the penetration rate of medical monitors in China was only 20%, and the penetration rate of medical monitors is positively correlated with the standard of living of a country's nationals, with China's per capita GDP amounting to US$3,678 in 2009. From the compound growth rate of China's GDP per capita in the past 20 years, the compound annual growth rate of China's medical monitor penetration rate in the next five years will be about 8.01%.
From the perspective of the long-term development of the industry, with the further improvement of the industry's R & D level as well as China's medical security system, high-end products will gradually become mainstream.
Monitoring and monitoring diagnostic equipment is different, it must be 24 hours continuous monitoring of the patient's physiological parameters, detecting changes in trends, pointing out the critical situation for doctors to deal with emergencies and the basis for treatment, so that complications to a minimum to alleviate and eliminate the purpose of the disease.
The purpose of the monitor is not only to measure and monitor the physiological parameters, but also to monitor and deal with the conditions before and after medication and surgery.
The standard 6 parameters of a monitor are ECG, respiration, noninvasive blood pressure, oxygen saturation, pulse rate, and temperature. Optional parameters include invasive blood pressure, end-expiratory carbon dioxide, respiratory mechanics, anesthetic gases, cardiac output (invasive and non-invasive), EEG dual frequency index, and more.
Clinical applications of the monitor: intra-operative, post-operative, trauma care, coronary heart disease, critically ill patients, neonates, preterm infants, hyperbaric oxygen chambers, labor and delivery rooms, and so on.
