Overview
Patient monitors track heart rate blood pressure oxygen saturation and other vital signs during imaging and interventional procedures. Continuous monitoring enhances patient safety during sedation and contrast administration. Integration with procedural workflows supports rapid response to changes.
Monitoring Modalities
Monitors support ECG non invasive blood pressure pulse oximetry and capnography. Advanced monitors include invasive pressure and cardiac output measurements. Selection depends on procedure complexity and patient risk.
Alarm Management
Appropriate alarm settings and escalation protocols prevent alarm fatigue and ensure timely intervention. Regular testing and battery maintenance ensure monitor reliability. Documentation of events supports clinical records.
Integration and Portability
Portable monitors facilitate imaging in MRI CT and interventional suites with modality specific compatibility. MRI conditional monitors require non ferromagnetic components and special connectors. Training ensures safe use in modality specific environments.
