Abstract:
This article describes how the availability of applications programs on bedside and central station monitors increases nursing efficiency, enhances patient safety, and reduces hospital costs. Included are descriptions of some specific applications programs that comprise the Space-Labs Clinical Library: continuing education credit programs, drug therapy programs and a pacemaker information retrieval database. The benefits of these monitor-based programs--for both nurses and hospitals--are described.

Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure
This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...
