In a Pediatric ICU, several parameters are continuously monitored. These include:
1. Heart Rate and Rhythm: Monitored using electrocardiograms (ECGs) to detect arrhythmias. 2. Respiratory Rate: Ensuring the child is breathing adequately and identifying any respiratory distress. 3. Oxygen Saturation: Measured with pulse oximetry to ensure adequate oxygenation. 4. Blood Pressure: Continuous or intermittent monitoring to detect hypertension or hypotension. 5. Temperature: Regular checks for fever or hypothermia.
