Question: How do u read this medical instument.?
Answers:
the top ones are the heart rhythm and rate. that particular photo shows a normal sinus rhythm with a rate in the 70's. different monitors will exhibit different info: NIBP is non invasive (or BP cuff) blood pressure. ART is an arterial BP obtained when an invasive line is inserted into the artery. an ICP is intracranial pressure obtained by a ventricular monitoring device in the brain. RESP or RR is the respiratory rate. O2Sat or PAO2 is the oxygen level in the blood. there are others like a CVP which is central venous pressure and other pressures in the heart and lungs monitored by a swan ganz catheter.
your nurses can tell you and explain the info. sounds real technical but its fairly status quo for a critical care unit Health Question & Answer

That is an EKG machine. The green lines are responses to leads that are attached to your chest. I can't read the EKG - but I'll give you an over view. The different lines indicate heart beat, fibrillation (rhythm), respiration, etc. The numbers in the those little blocks also are indications of heart beats, blood oxygen saturation level, blood pressure, etc. You could ask the nurse - she should be willing to tell you about the machine.
