A
These devices are used when frequent assessment is required, as in critically ill or potentially unstable patients; during or after invasive procedures; or when therapies require frequent monitoring. Patients with irregular heart rate, peripheral vascular disease, seizures, tremors, and shivering are not candidates for this device.
