An assembly of electrically-powered devices designed for continuous assessment of several vital physiologic parameters (e.g., ECG, blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, cardiac output, apnoea, and respiratory/anaesthetic gas concentrations) of more than one patient in intensive or general healthcare settings. It typically includes a central station monitor that receives, consolidates, and displays the information, and bedside patient monitors to provide data from each patient; it often includes programmable alarms, portable radio transmitters (with sensors), receivers, and antennas (telemetry systems) to allow monitoring during patient ambulation or transportation.
