Critical care nursing
A device that is capable of sending information to software applications
Bedside monitoring devices
A device that allows data to be moved from one point to another
Medical information bus (MIB)
Medical information bus (MIB) and Bedside monitoring devices are types of?
Device connectivity infrastructure

> Sensors
Signal conditioners to amplify or filter the display device (paper recorder)
To rank and order information (storage file,
alarm signal)
Computer processor to analyze data and direct reports
Evaluation or controlling component to regulate the equipment or alert the nurse
They measure hemodynamic parameters
Hemodynamic monitor
They examine cardiovascular functions
Hemodynamic monitors
They evaluate cardiac pump output and volume status
Hemodynamic monitors
They recognize patterns and extract features
Hemodynamic monitors
They assess vascular system integrity
Hemodynamic monitors
They evaluate patient’s physiologic response to stimuli
Hemodynamic monitors
They continuously assess respiratory gases
Hemodynamic monitors
Continuously evaluate blood gases and glucose levels
Hemodynamic monitors
It requires comprehensive understanding and knowledge of the framework of the community, its resources, and the socio-cultural issues impacting people within the community
Community Health Application
