Several types of equipment are utilized for cardiorespiratory monitoring:
1. ECG Monitors: These devices measure the electrical activity of the heart and provide real-time heart rate data. 2. Pulse Oximeters: These non-invasive devices measure oxygen saturation in the blood and provide continuous monitoring of SpO2 levels. 3. Capnography: This device measures the concentration of carbon dioxide in exhaled air, which is crucial for assessing ventilation. 4. Respiratory Monitors: These devices measure the rate and pattern of breathing, often using impedance pneumography.
