A pediatric patient monitor or also called a pediatric monitor is a medical and electronic device that collects, displays, and also stores all vital signs of the pediatric patient. This equipment allows to detect, process and continuously deploy these physiological parameters of the patient such as: breathing rate, blood pressure, body temperature and pulse.
It does this for the heart rate by amplifying the heart’s electrical potentials, for the respiratory rate it magnifies the chest’s breathing movements, and the blood pressure and oxygen saturation will depend on the pulse intensity. This equipment is equipped with a series of alarms that alert medical personnel when there is an adverse situation or outside the desired limits.
What is the role of a pediatric patient monitor?
Patient monitors are useful equipment for pediatric patients who are under anesthesia, for medicinal products, or for any other treatment that determines the need for blood, for variation in medication or volume replacement such as a plasma expander, and for critically ill patients.
These electronic devices are intended to collect, display and store all vital signs of the pediatric patient. The parameters are displayed separately on the monitor, where the digital value of the parameter and its graphical representation will be displayed. In the event that any of these parameters is below or above the normal for the patient, or any other adverse activity occurs, an alarm is triggered to alert physicians. The alarms built into these devices are visual and sound, although they can be easily silenced if the problem that generated them is being solved.
Types of pediatric patient monitors
- Children: These equipment record at least the five basic parameters shown on monitors such as electrocardiogram (ECG), respiration (RESP), temperature (TEMP), noninvasive pressure (NIBP), oxygen saturation (SpO2). They are used in critical areas, the specific application by type of patient is achieved by accessories and consumables (Electrodes, sensors, bracelets). It is recommended to always have consumables of different sizes available, so that the monitor can be used in infants of different sizes.
- Neonatal: Caring for newborns and premature babies requires special attention. Although the measured variables are similar to those of an adult, they must commonly be measured differently. Variables such as breathing and temperature control are of great interest in this type of patients, as well as the fluid and electrolyte balance.
