UberAndBabyMonitors: It's just called a"monitor."At least, that's what we call it in our ER(and every other ER I've worked in the last 40 years).To it is hooked-up a cardiac monitor(yes, monitor)for the heart rate & rhythm,a pulse oximeter to measure the oxygen in the blood,a rerspiratory monitor to measure respiratory rate(the pulse oximeter also does that) & a blood pressure monitor.Let's call it all an Uber Monitor
