| Popis: |
An increase in respiratory rate (RR) can be an early indicator of clinical deterioration, yet it remains an often-neglected vital sign. The most common way of measuring RR is by manually counting chest-wall movements, a time-consuming and error-prone process. Staffing and funding shortages, particularly in post-acute and long-term care, mean these RR measurements are often infrequent, potentially leading to missed diagnoses and preventable readmissions. Here we present a case series from skilled nursing facilities, highlighting how continuous respiratory monitoring using a contactless remote patient monitoring (RPM) system can support clinicians in initiating timely interventions, potentially reducing preventable hospitalizations, mortality, and associated financial implications. |
