Current intermittent spot monitoring of vital signs - heart rate, respiratory rate, peripheral oxygen saturation, temperature and blood pressure - is insufficient.
Patients undergoing major surgery or experiencing acute medical illness face a substantial risk of complications and mortality.
Manual monitoring fails to detect all cases of clinical deterioration, and manual interpretation cannot adequately capture trends or the combined dynamics of multiple physiological parameters. ⓘ

Adopting continuous monitoring for better postoperative care:
CVSM is recommended to replace intermittent monitoring
”Continuous Vital Sign Monitoring (CVSM) should be considered by healthcare leadership as a replacement for the current standard of care, episodic vital sign collection (eVSC), to promote the early detection and treatment of postoperative complications. This practice change presents healthcare facilities with the opportunity to decrease hospital length of stay, avoid litigation, and improve patient outcomes, all of which could increase return on investment.” ⓘ
