Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is a healthcare practice that involves using technology to monitor patients' health status outside of traditional healthcare settings. It enables healthcare providers to collect and analyze patient data remotely, allowing for the continuous monitoring of patients' vital signs, symptoms, and overall well-being.
RPM typically utilizes medical devices and sensors that are capable of capturing various health-related data, such as blood pressure, heart rate, glucose levels, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, and more. These devices can be wearable, implanted, or connected to the patient's smartphone or other monitoring devices. The collected data is then transmitted securely to healthcare professionals who can review and analyze it in real-time.
As technology continues to advance, remote patient monitoring is becoming increasingly important in modern healthcare delivery. It has the potential to transform the way healthcare is provided by enabling more personalized, proactive, and patient-centric care.
four electrodes are attached to the patient for the Holter monitoring
Acute care physiologic monitoring system--comprehensive patient monitoring systems that can be configured to continuously measure and display a number of parameters via electrodes and sensors that are connected to the patient.
There are numerous manufacturers that produce patient monitoring devices. Some of these manufacturers include Infinium, DRE Medical Equipment and Lantronix.

the patient spends several days in the hospital's cardiac monitoring area. For at least 20 minutes, pressure is applied to a dressing on the insertion site. For the first hour, an electrocardiogram and close monitoring are conducted
continuous monitoring of the electrical activity of a patient's heart muscle (electrocardiography ) for 24 hours, using a special portable device called a Holter monitor.

Typically, a Holter monitor requires 3 to 5 electrodes attached to the patient's chest. These electrodes are used to record the heart's electrical activity over an extended period, usually 24 to 48 hours.
ECG recording over a prolonged period during which the patient can move around
I spoke with my husband who is a Doctor and we both agreed that monitoring your patient at this time would be prudent as they are most likely going into respiratory acidosis. The 60% is not quite a critical value but worthy of monitoring as it could be related to respiration rate and other factors. He would need more information but with what your provided, keep monitoring, run labs, especially PH levels and look at the whole patient to determine why this is occurring and how you can best help the patient.
