Respiratory monitoring

Respiratory monitoring involves tracking how well and efficiently a person breathes. It measures aspects such as breathing rate, oxygen levels in the blood, and the effort involved in inhaling and exhaling. Devices like pulse oximeters, capnographs, or respiratory sensors collect this data, helping healthcare providers identify breathing problems, assess overall lung health, and detect issues like apnea or respiratory distress. Continuous monitoring is especially important in critical care or during surgery, ensuring prompt response to any changes in respiratory function, and supporting effective treatment.
