US-based monitoring technologies developer Masimo has launched its Root patient monitoring and connectivity hub with the early warning score (EWS).
EWS creates a score by gathering various vital sign and clinical observation information to determine the potential degree of patient deterioration.
The score is calculated based on various contributors such as oxygen saturation, pulse rate, respiration rate, body temperature, and systolic blood pressure. It is also determined by the level of consciousness, use of supplemental oxygen, and urine output.
