Mobile medical carts equipped to measure physiological parameters such as heart rate, blood pressure, respiration rate, and temperature provide crucial patient data at the point of care. These compact and readily available units typically include a monitor displaying readings, along with the necessary sensors and cuffs. A common example is the integration of pulse oximetry for measuring blood oxygen saturation.
The portability of these diagnostic tools enables rapid assessment and intervention, particularly in emergency situations or for patients with limited mobility. This immediate access to vital information facilitates timely clinical decision-making and enhances overall patient safety. The evolution from cumbersome, stationary equipment to these mobile units has significantly improved workflow efficiency and responsiveness in healthcare settings.
