According to the product performance and the use of functions are divided into:
Multi parameter monitor, curing type portable monitor, plug-in monitor and central monitor station.
According to the method of monitoring parameters can be divided into:
Noninvasive life parameters monitoring, a monitoring parameter monitoring and special test parameters (blood gas, biochemical analysis and monitoring, defibrillation and special gas anesthesia monitoring).
According to its physical structure can be divided into three types:
Single parameter monitor such as blood pressure monitor, oxygen saturation monitor, ECG monitor etc..
Multi function and multi parameter comprehensive monitoring instrument (multi parameter monitor is what) and ECG, respiration, body temperature, blood pressure, oxygen and other parameters.
Combined plug-in monitor it is by each division can remove physiological parameters module and a monitor host constitute, the user can according to their own requirements to buy different plug-in modules consisting of a suitable for their own particular requirements for monitor. Monitor display technologies include: digital tube is mainly used for single parameter monitoring; CRT; LCD; EL display; really TFT color display. The multifunction monitor the mainly plasma TFT display, display mode for VGA mode, with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels.
By structure classification
Monitoring instrument according to the structure can be divided into the following four categories: portable monitor, monitor, remote measuring monitor, Holter tape recording ECG monitoring system.
(a) portable monitor. Easy to carry, simple structure, stable performance, can be powered by the battery, the general use of non - monitoring room and go out to rescue the patient. To space lab (Spacelab) of the portable monitor 90308 as an example, its function is complete, can display four waveform, to monitor up to 11 kinds of parameters, network connectivity, by AC and DC power supply, LCD screen display.
(two) general monitor. Usually refers to a bedside monitor, the most widely used. Can be placed in the bed side of certain conditions (such as heart rate, respiration, pulse rate, blood pressure, etc.). It is often associated with the monitor center constitute a system of guardianship.
(three) distails monitor. Far from the way to move around the patient, belonging to the wireless way.
(four) Holter tape recorded ECG monitoring system. The system can record the electrical activity continuously, and capture the abnormal ECG of the short time.
According to the function into three categories
Bedside monitor
Bedside monitor is arranged in the bedside patient connected together instruments and various physiological parameters of the patient's state of continuous monitoring and be alarm display or recording, it can also with the central monitor constitute a whole to work.
The central monitor
The central monitor also known as the central system monitor, it is composed of the main monitor and a plurality of bedside monitor, the monitor can control the bedside monitor work, to a plurality of monitoring objects and monitoring, it is an important task is complete the automatic recording of all abnormal physiological parameters and medical records.
From the hospital monitor (telemetry monitor)
From the hospital (telemetry monitor) monitor the patient can carry small electronic monitor can be in inside and outside the hospital to the patient, some physiological parameters of continuous monitoring and non real time examination for the doctor.
According to the classification of diseases
According to the classification of diseases coronary heart disease automatic monitor, critically ill patients automatic monitor, operating room automatic monitor, operation automatic monitor, delivery automatic monitor, automatic monitor for newborn infants and ray treatment room automatic monitor, hyperbaric oxygen warehouse automatic monitoring instrument and so on.
The use of guardianship has two meanings:
One is that the significance of the critical patients must have two: the monitoring of the situation, found the danger, immediately alarm, and its monitoring, found the danger, immediately notify the doctor in a timely manner, the doctor in a timely manner;
Two is the phenomenon of certain diseases, the time is short, need to make a long time measurement (now, the time is short, need to make a long time measurement (24 hours in case of abnormal phenomenon. In 24 hours, an abnormal phenomenon can be recorded.
Summary
With the combination of modern medicine and Electronic Science and technology, the field of medical care has been constant development, monitor as the hospitals at all levels of basic equipment is being widely used in clinical departments in the hospital. This paper mainly introduces the classification method according to the different ways of the monitor
