Continuous Vital Signs Monitoring
Vital signs provide important information about a patient’s circulation, breathing, temperature, oxygenation, and general medical stability.
At New Padre Garcia Hospital, continuous or frequent monitoring may be used for patients whose condition, treatment, surgery, or medical risks require closer observation.
The healthcare team may monitor blood pressure, pulse, breathing rate, oxygen saturation, temperature, consciousness, and other measurements relevant to the patient’s condition.
Significant changes are reported to the attending doctor so that the patient can be reassessed and treated promptly.
