Fundamentals of Physiologic Monitoring

AACN Clinical Issues: Advanced Practice in Acute and Critical Care, 1993
For centuries, medical practitioners had no electronic medical instruments and had to rely on their senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch to obtain physiologic measurements. Although it is possible to estimate blood pressure by palpating the pulse at the radial or brachial artery, such estimates are not accurate. Determining arterial oxygen

Cerebral Physiologic Monitoring

Critical Care Clinics, 1989
Cerebral physiologic monitoring techniques can be categorized into those measuring perfusion, metabolism, and function. The physiologic basis for each of these is outlined, with a description of the clinical methods currently available. The clinical application of each monitoring modality is discussed with special reference to its impact on outcome of ...

COMPUTERIZED PHYSIOLOGIC MONITORING

Critical Care Clinics, 1999
Computers can offer significant enhancement to the monitoring of the critically ill. Their value is derived from improved vigilance, better charting, and an opportunity to assess practitioner compliance with unit protocols. However, their true value can only be attained when they are integrated into a total information system.

Cardiac physiology and monitoring

Canadian Anaesthetists’ Society Journal, 1985
The cardiovascular system serves the body by supplying nutrients and removing wastes. The function of the heart and circulation can be measured by a great variety of methods, but it is essential to understand the physiologic basis of the measurements for proper interpretation.

Vital physiological signs monitoring

International Journal of Computer Applications in Technology, 2004
The aim of this project is to build a virtual image and the patients' data and signal transfer to a remote place. Patient information will be available to those who have the authority to access the information. LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench) is used in displaying the signal in the computer. Virtual instruments are created

Physiologic Monitoring of Infants and Children

AACN Advanced Critical Care, 1993
Accurate and safe monitoring of infants and children requires knowledge of their unique physiology, especially cardiovascular function, pulmonary physiology, and metabolic function. These individual features influence the equipment selection, as well as data interpretation.

Physiological changes of pregnancy and monitoring

Best Practice & Research Clinical Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 2008
Advances in medical care have led to increasing numbers of complex, high-risk obstetric patients. Specialist training and a sound knowledge of normal maternal physiology are essential to optimize outcomes. One of the earliest observed changes is peripheral vasodilatation; this causes a fall in systemic vascular resistance and triggers physiological ...

A framework for physiological parameters monitoring

Proceedings of the International Conference & Workshop on Emerging Trends in Technology - ICWET '11, 2011
Monitoring of health and cost effective management is the only way to ensure economic viability of healthcare systems. Based on data rate, power consumption, security, scalability, price and the benefits of standardization, ZigBee offers interoperability and vendor independence as well.

Physiologic Monitoring

2015
This chapter will provide a review of modern concepts of cardiovascular monitoring with emphasis on essential hemodynamic variables in the early post cardiac surgery patient. When defining circulatory function, importance of the entire circulatory system is underscored.
