Invasive Monitoring

Invasive monitoring involves inserting devices or instruments into the body to measure vital signs or diagnose health conditions directly. Unlike external monitoring, it provides more precise and detailed information about organs, blood flow, or tissue function. Examples include catheters to measure blood pressure inside blood vessels, electrodes implanted in the heart to monitor rhythm, or sensors inserted into the brain or other tissues. This type of monitoring is typically used in critical care or complex medical cases to guide treatment decisions, ensuring accurate assessment of a patient’s condition through direct internal measurements.
