<p>Physiological monitoring can be provided through a wearable monitor (12, 180) that includes two components, a flexible extended wear electrode patch (15, 181) and a removable reusable monitor recorder (14). The monitor (12) sits centrally (in the midline (16)) on the patient's chest along the sternum (13) oriented top-to-bottom. The placement of the monitor (12) in a location at the sternal midline (16) (or immediately to either side of the sternum (13)) benefits extended wear by removing the requirement that ECG electrodes be continually placed in the same spots throughout the monitoring. Instead, the patient can place an electrode patch (15) anywhere within the general region of the sternum (13). Power is provided through a battery (71, 197) provided on the patch (15, 181). The monitor (12, 180) further includes sensors (42, 69, 75, 191-195) for monitoring patient's air flow and respiratory measures contemporaneously with the ECG monitoring.</p> |
