Telemetry
It is used to monitor the patient's heart rate, pulse rate and respirations remotely. The patient has this device attached to the chest with four adhesive electrodes. The patient's movement around the ward is not restricted, but the range is only within the cardiology ward. The tracking monitor is located in the nurse's station, so if the telemeter detects any irregularity in the patient's heart rhythm, it immediately sounds an alarm and the patient is given timely assistance.
