The
monitor to the patient's ECG, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and temperature parameters of synchronous and continuous monitoring, provides a good means for medical personnel comprehensive, intuitive and timely master the condition of the patient. Along with the hospital gradually moving toward modernization, there will be more monitor in clinical ward, become the most commonly used medical equipment. So it is very important to monitor the maintenance and maintenance. Only do a good job of maintenance and repair work, in order to ensure good working condition monitor; at the same time can reduce the failure rate, prolong the various sensors, parts and the whole of life, thereby reducing the costs of hospital treatment. Summary of previous work experience, maintenance and maintenance of monitor are mainly in the following aspects:
Monitor would normally work for a long time, due to the machine caused by high temperature internal components of premature aging and damage. Therefore, we need to do inside and outside the machine cleaning work to ensure that the machine has good cooling and ventilation. A few months to check the host on the filter, clean the dust, but also to check the operation panel, monitor the surface, with no alcohol to remove dirt, so as to avoid corrosion of these important parts. Every six months to a year to dismantle the machine shell, the machine for dust removal. Dust removal can be used to "see, smell, touch," and other intuitive method of the machine inside the modules, parts for inspection. Sensor maintenance and maintenance: because of the characteristics of the sensor itself and the detection of patients with the location of the patient is often active, so it is easy to damage the components, but also the more expensive parts. In order to extend their use, reduce the cost of treatment, we should do a good job of their maintenance work. Often communicate with the medical staff, guide them to correct operation and maintenance of monitor and sensor. Can not be folded, drag the sensor transmission wire; can not fall, touch the sensor probe such as oxygen saturation probe, temperature, a blood pressure, etc.. For the non invasive blood pressure cuff, in the absence of strapping on the patient host at this time cannot be measured, so as to avoid damage to the inflation of the airbag. When the monitor to care for a long time without the need for monitoring the blood oxygen saturation, to turn off this feature through adjusting the configuration of the system, if the machine has this setting or unplug the oxygen saturation of blood is connected to the host interface monitors are generally through the interface to connect each sensor, so as to prolong the service life of this kind of sensor. Sensor probe easily stained with sweat, blood and other dirt, to avoid corrosion probe and measurement to regularly according to the user's manual provides a method of cleaning the probe.
The monitor system is set properly, or even wrong, often for health care workers in trouble. For example: heart electric wave shape, and no heart rate; the blood pressure in patients with high blood pressure; the parameters are normal, but the alarm continues, and so on, these are likely to be caused by system settings. So we should always check and maintain the system to ensure the reliability of the monitoring, the most superior, that is, the best configuration. Although the monitor various, specific methods of system settings of each are not identical, but most of them have the following aspects: patient information in the information should pay attention to is the types of patients choose to correct. Generally divided into adult, children, newborn, they use different measurement program, if the wrong will affect the accuracy of measurement, and even can not measure. For example, there is no blood pressure may be measured and displayed an error.
By adjusting the function of the parameters to achieve the best results. Such as adjusting the amplitude, wave velocity to display the waveform can be observed; through the use of various bandwidth filtering function to eliminate interference of power frequency, EMG and different frequency; and set the display channel, the system clock, alarm volume, the brightness of the screen and so on. Alarm configuration correctly set the upper and lower limits of the parameters. In order to avoid themisinformation. Of course, with the continuous development of the monitor, the application of new materials, new technology more to them. We will keep learning, exploration in the work, and improve the development and maintenance work caused by the monitor
