The Masimo patient monitor is a medical device used to monitor and display various physiological parameters of a patient. While there are several models and configurations available.
SpO2 (Oxygen Saturation): This parameter measures the oxygen saturation level in a patient’s blood. It is usually expressed as a percentage and indicates the amount of oxygen being carried by red blood cells. The Masimo patient monitor uses pulse oximetry technology to measure SpO2, which involves a sensor placed on the patient’s finger or earlobe to detect the oxygen saturation level.
Pulse Rate: The pulse rate, measured in beats per minute (BPM), represents the number of times a patient’s heart beats within a minute. The Masimo patient monitor can accurately measure the pulse rate using pulse oximetry or electrocardiography (ECG) technology. ECG monitoring involves attaching electrodes to the patient’s chest, which detect electrical signals generated by the heart and calculate the pulse rate.
Perfusion Index (PI): This parameter measures the strength of the arterial pulsations at the monitoring site. It provides an indication of the peripheral perfusion and can be useful in assessing the patient’s overall cardiovascular status.
Pleth Variability Index (PVI): PVI is a dynamic parameter that measures the variability in the perfusion index over time. It can be used to assess fluid responsiveness and guide fluid management in patients.
Noninvasive Blood Pressure (NIBP): The Masimo monitor can also measure the patient’s blood pressure noninvasively using an inflatable cuff and oscillometric technology. It provides systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure readings.
Respiration Rate (RR): The monitor can also calculate the patient’s respiration rate by analyzing the changes in plethysmographic waveforms. It helps in monitoring respiratory function and detecting abnormalities like respiratory distress.
Temperature: Some models of the Masimo monitor also have the capability to measure the patient’s body temperature using noninvasive methods such as oral or forehead temperature sensors.
