GE Dash 5000 Patient Monitor

Anesthesiology is a very complex stream of medical science and there are umpteen numbers of things that need to be tracked and recorded continuously to ensure patient safety and success of any medical procedure. These patient monitors are used to monitor and control the influx of gases into the patient’s body and also helps keep track of other devices that are normally used in conjunction such as IV fluid pumps.

Patient vital signs monitors measure, heart rate, respiration, blood pressure and temperature of the patient as well. The measurement of these vital signs is important for a basic assessment of the patient’s condition during the course of a surgical procedure under anesthesia. Most of these patient monitors come with alarm signals that are triggered when the measured parameters exceed or fall below normally assumed safe standards.

The GE Dash 5000 patient monitor is a fine piece of medical equipment that has been widely appreciated for its accuracy and dependability. GE manufactures an entire range of Dash monitors and all of them offer portable platforms and robust clinical parameters to capture the vital signs and measurements to prevent false alarms and alert of possible contingencies.

It is designed for optimized monitoring in different situations based on the need. It uses advanced algorithms to analyze the parameters and has flexible and compartmentalized alarms systems with four priority levels such as crisis, warning, advisory and message in place. It also acquires ECG readings and has wide range of interfacing options available. IT also measures Co2 levels of the patient and can support additional parameters.

The option of bright alarm light enables easy location of the patient in critical situations. The interface is user friendly with remote I touch pads enabling direct access to frequently used functions. It runs on batteries, is portable with a docking station and is light weight and ergonomically designed.
