The monitor has unique advantages that can not be replaced by other medical devices in clinical practice. People in the industry are familiar with this. We often see such an instrument at the head of the bed to display many parameters, but we don't know the meaning of those data. Here, take the bedside monitor as an example to briefly explain how to view these parameters.

The monitor is widely used in intensive care unit and coronary heart disease care unit. It is set at the bedside and connected with the patient to monitor some states of the patient (such as heart rate, respiratory rate, body temperature, blood pressure, etc.) and display parameters. It often forms a system with the central monitor for monitoring. Other monitors are basically the same in terms of parameters, and may be different in terms of shape

Heart rate. On the left of the ECG monitor is the ECG, on the right is a column of values from top to bottom, and the top green value represents the heart rate. The heart rate of normal people is 60 to 90% per minute People with better physical fitness, such as athletes, may have a slightly lower heart rate than normal.

Blood pressure. Generally, blood pressure will be measured once every one to two hours after operation. The left and right red values represent systolic and diastolic blood pressure respectively The normal range of systolic blood pressure is 90 to 140mmHg, and the normal range of diastolic blood pressure is 60 to 90 mmhg Higher than this value is hypertension, lower than that is hypotension.

Blood oxygen saturation. Hemoglobin in human blood needs to be combined with oxygen to transport oxygen. Oxygen is required for normal life activities in human body. Blood oxygen saturation represents the oxygen content in human blood, which is generally higher than 90%.

Respiratory rate. The respiratory rate of the patient after the operation represents the physical condition. The value in the quiet state is 16 to 20, and it will be slightly higher if the patient is physically active.

Body temperature. Generally, patients undergoing surgery do not drip water within a day, which is easy to cause fever and aggravate their condition due to lack of water. Generally, the temperature of normal people is measured once one to two hours after the operation. The temperature of normal people may be slightly higher due to lack of water after the operation. With the progress of infusion, the temperature will tend to be normal. After the operation, we must take good care of the patient to prevent high fever.

The above is just a general introduction to the meaning of some values of the monitor. Ordinary people can understand it, but in actual medical treatment and diagnosis, professional doctors are still required to make a diagnosis and judgment.
