What is that machine called that beeps when someone dies?
It is known as an EKG ( ECG) machine = electrocardiogram that measures a person’s heart rate, heart rhythm, blood pressure, and their oxygen saturation ( percentage of how much oxygen is circulating in the blood ( basic explanation). Then there is a telemetry unit that measures a person’s heart rate, rhythm, blood pressure. Usually, a pulse oximeter is used to check their oxygen level. If the patient is ambulatory or walking around, the telemetry unit will monitor their heart rhythm and pulse. The machine will beep when the heart rhythm becomes irregular, if the pulse is too low or, there is no pulse ( known as a ” flatline “). I hope that this is helpful.
