A respiration monitor is a bedside device powered by mains electricity that measures and displays a patient's respiratory function. It is used to monitor non-ambulatory patients by tracking respiratory gas concentrations such as carbon dioxide and oxygen, as well as breathing rate, air volume, and episodes of apnea, with optional measurements of airway or esophageal pressure.
Such devices typically include audible and visual alarms that activate when respiratory parameters fall outside preset safety limits. They are regulated as medical devices based on their intended use and functionality, with classification and supply requirements determined by applicable regulatory frameworks in each jurisdiction.
