Patient monitor at home: the complete guide
What 3-para and 5-para monitors measure, normal ranges, placing the sensors, and which alarms matter.
1Patient monitor on rent
Monitors are rented for ICU at home, after discharge, or for very sick patients at night. We deliver, attach the sensors, set the alarm limits your doctor gave and show the family what each number means.
2What it measures
| Parameter | Sensor | Shows |
|---|---|---|
| SpO₂ | Finger clip | Oxygen level and pulse |
| NIBP | Arm cuff | Blood pressure at set intervals |
| ECG | 3 or 5 chest leads | Heart rhythm and rate |
| Respiration | From the ECG leads | Breaths per minute |
| Temperature | Probe | Body temperature |

3Place the sensors right
- SpO₂ Warm, clean finger, no nail polish. Change finger every few hours.
- BP cuff Upper arm, at heart level, the right size. Not on the arm with an IV or fistula.
- ECG leads Clean dry skin, follow the colour labels on the cable.
4Alarms that matter
Ask the doctor to set the alarm limits for this patient. Many alarms are movement or a loose sensor; check the patient, then the sensor.
- SpO₂ below the doctor’s target for more than a minute
- Pulse very fast or very slow with the patient unwell
- Patient unresponsive

Questions families ask
Does someone need to watch it all the time?
The alarms do the watching, but someone must be close enough to hear them. Night alarms are why ICU-at-home patients usually have a nurse.
