What is the Difference Between a Patient Monitor and a Vital Sign Monitor?

(1) Patient monitors can monitor a broader range of physiological parameters. Vital sign monitors only monitor vital signs and do not include the ability to monitor parameters other than basic vital signs.
(2) Patient monitors are usually used to continuously monitor multiple parameters for patients with complex conditions or undergoing surgery. Vital signs monitors are used to monitor a patient’s vital signs routinely.
