What is telemetry monitoring?
Telemetry monitoring tracks heart electrical activity continuously using portable EKG systems so patients can move more freely while being observed.
When is telemetry used?
Telemetry may be recommended for serious arrhythmia and related conditions.
- Heart attack or stroke recovery
- After cardiac procedures or surgery
- Suspected blood clots
- Lung disease such as pneumonia
- Medication monitoring for rhythm effects
What does it involve?
Electrodes are applied to multiple chest and abdominal points and readings are observed for at least 24 hours. Alerts help the team identify sudden, potentially dangerous changes quickly.
