Patient Monitor Parameters: SpO₂, EtCO₂, NIBP, ECG

A multiparameter monitor tracks vital signs in real time during anesthesia and intensive care, helping you catch complications early. Here are the core parameters:

SpO₂ (oxygen saturation)

Measures blood oxygen saturation and warns of hypoxemia early. Motion- and low-perfusion-tolerant sensors (e.g. Masimo) are more reliable in veterinary patients.

EtCO₂ (capnography)

Measures end-tidal carbon dioxide to confirm ventilation adequacy and endotracheal tube placement — one of the most valuable indicators of anesthesia safety.

NIBP (non-invasive blood pressure)

Measures systolic/diastolic/mean pressure via a cuff. Prefer systems with veterinary algorithms and overpressure protection.

ECG and temperature

ECG monitors heart rhythm and arrhythmias; a temperature probe flags perioperative hypothermia early. A 12.1" touchscreen and central monitoring streamline workflow in busy clinics.
