TRAM: a new concept in transport monitoring.
A new monitoring system has been designed to eliminate the need to interrupt monitoring to transport critically ill patients. The key innovation of the system is a self-contained multiparameter signal acquisition and processing module that contains a battery-backed microprocessor and retains monitor setup information when moved from one monitor to another. The module functions in Marquette Series 7010 surgical monitors and bedside monitors and in the new Marquette Transport Remote Acquisition Monitor (TRAM). Lines connecting the patient to the module remain connected. The TRAM module provides continuous, integrated multiparameter monitoring during transport. Monitored parameters include up to four simultaneous ECG leads, two invasive blood pressures, pulse rate, cardiac output and two temperatures (in place of cardiac output).
