What Are the Common Tools and Technologies for Respiratory Monitoring?
Several tools and technologies are used in respiratory monitoring:
1. Pulse Oximeter: Non-invasive device that measures SpO2 and pulse rate. 2. Capnograph: Provides real-time measurements of CO2 levels in exhaled air. 3. Spirometer: Measures lung function, including vital capacity and forced expiratory volume. 4. Arterial Blood Gas Analyzer: Analyzes blood samples to provide detailed information on gas exchange and acid-base balance.
