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.

If a patient has a CO2 level of 60 percent is that critical?

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.
