This makes number three, so far as posting in this thread. First. Yes. I like it. Still like it. Always have like it. In all likelihood, this is a part of me that will never diminish. I would be pretty upset if it did diminish I believe.
In that spirit, I purchased an MDE Escort Prism multi-parameter patient monitor a few months ago. To add to that fun, I picked up a young lady whom I consider to be just shy of Cardiophile. If she isn’t one, she’s well on her way. Any idea the joy of unboxing that lovely piece of equipment with another? The one who is going to enjoy it with me? I’m blessed in that department.
Can I say we’ve had a bit of fun with it. Me, more than her, admittedly…Truth of it though, I’m sure I enjoy it more than most of the world population. Go figure😃 What a hoot to see the hearts reaction to whatever…Almost instantaneously. Using poppers for example. Seeing the HR literally jump from 100 to 150 in a seconds time. A couple already rapid beats of the heart. Joy. Or seeing her HR and blood pressure respond to the first smack of my hand on her tooshie. Better yet, her hand, my tooshie. Her belt, my ass. Or engaging in sex. Masturbation.
The disposable electrodes go fast. We have used 150 so far in maybe 6 months. If left too long, they do cause irritation on me. 6 hours or so, I guess. Maybe longer. The suction cup electrodes are a thing of beauty. They are not useful in any circumstance, save your standard, resting ECG. These, left more than a few minutes cause hickeys. Anything much past 10, 15 minutes, will literally take the skin off. This being what I have found.
I may post a few pictures as I’ve not shared anything here in forever. It is only a 3 lead recorder, but for all intents, that is two more than I ever needed to have a complete blast with the thing😃
Takes NIBP in STAT Mode(As many BPs as it can get in 5 minutes), 1,2,3,4,5,10,15,30,45,60,120,240 minutes. Has a dual recorder that default prints 16 seconds of heart rhythm and whatever other parameter you tell it, or whichever parameter initiates the alarm, which all values of all parameters are set by the user😃 BP, SPO2, Respirations, Temperature. It prints when an alarm is triggered or on demand. This machine has cost several trees their life, I must report. I’m a tree lover and plant several every year. Year after year after year.
Bitten suggested 3 minutes may be too much. I contend 3 minutes is just right for most all your vital signs monitor activities. Be them his or her. At rest, or under load. Much fun.
