Dinamap Compact Patient Vital Signs Monitor March 31st, 2008
What’s in a name? Well, Critikon, or as it popped up Criticon, seemed strange so I did a little research: Acquired by GE Medical Systems Information Technologies in 2000. The Tampa, Fla., provider of sub-acute patient monitoring and noninvasive blood pressure technologies introduced the DINAMAP® Compact Monitors to provide healthcare professionals with top performance patient monitors in, NIBP, predictive temperature and pulse oximetry.
MAP, or Mean Arterial Pressure, is blood pumped out of the left ventricle into the arteries, pressure is generated. The mean arterial pressure (MAP) is determined by the cardiac output (CO), systemic vascular resistance (SVR), and central venous pressure (CVP) according to the following relationship, which is based upon the relationship between flow, pressure and resistance: MAP = (CO × SVR) + CVP
These patient vital signs monitors come with the following:
• non-invasive blood pressure cuff SPO2 probe
• Built in printer recorder
