key vital signs
monitoring with viQtor for preventive care
Effective patient monitoring relies on continuous, accurate tracking of key vital signs. viQtor’s advanced, non-invasive technology enables real-time measurement of three essential parameters: pulse rate (PR), respiratory rate (RR), and oxygen saturation (SpO2). These vital signs provide critical insights into a patient’s physiological status, supporting early detection of clinical deterioration and more informed medical decision-making.
Pulse Rate (PR) monitoring
Pulse rate serves as a fundamental indicator of cardiovascular function. viQtor employs Photoplethysmography (PPG) technology to measure pulse rates within a range of 30 to 240 beats per minute (bpm), with a root mean square error (RMSE) ≤ 3 bpm. Continuous PR monitoring can reveal early signs of hemodynamic instability, arrhythmias, or stress responses, enabling timely clinical intervention.
Respiratory Rate (RR) monitoring
Respiratory rate is a sensitive marker of respiratory and metabolic function and often an early indicator of clinical deterioration. viQtor tracks RR continuously between 5 and 40 breaths per minute (BRPM) with an accuracy of ±3 BRPM. Consistent RR monitoring supports the early recognition of conditions such as respiratory distress, sepsis, and exacerbations of chronic respiratory diseases like COPD, allowing for quicker, more precise therapeutic responses.
Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) monitoring
SpO2 measurement is essential for assessing oxygenation and detecting hypoxemia. viQtor uses reflective pulse oximetry validated between 70% and 100% SpO2, with an accuracy of ≤ 2% ARMS (Accuracy Root Mean Square). Continuous SpO2 data enables early identification of desaturation events, aiding in the management of conditions requiring oxygen therapy and postoperative recovery.
clinical benefits of continuous monitoring with viQtor
- Early Detection: Real-time tracking of vital signs facilitates the prompt identification of clinical deterioration, reducing response times and improving patient outcomes.
- Data-Driven Insights: Continuous data minimizes the limitations of intermittent spot checks, providing a more comprehensive view of a patient’s condition.
- Optimized Patient Management: Trend analysis of vital signs enhances individualized care planning and supports better management of chronic and post-surgical patients.
By offering accurate, continuous monitoring of PR, RR, and SpO2, viQtor provides healthcare professionals with essential tools for proactive patient management. This approach enhances patient safety and supports the delivery of high-quality, preventive care.
