Portable monitors typically measure several key parameters:
1. Heart Rate: Monitoring heart rate helps in identifying conditions like bradycardia or tachycardia. 2. Oxygen Saturation (SpO2): This indicates the level of oxygen in the blood, crucial for detecting hypoxemia. 3. Respiratory Rate: Monitoring breathing patterns helps in diagnosing and managing apnea and other respiratory issues. 4. Blood Pressure: Although less common, some advanced portable monitors measure blood pressure.
