Monitoring of cardiovascular and respiratory systems: Monitoring of cardiovascular and respiratory systems with measurement of pulmonary artery pressure

Your heartbeat, blood pressure and breathing have been monitored.

The heart pumps blood through the body. In the process, the blood flows through blood vessels. The blood supplies all areas of the body with oxygen and nutrients. The heartbeat is triggered by electrical impulses. An ECG machine was used to measure your heart’s electrical impulses. Your blood pressure was also measured regularly.

When a person breathes, oxygen gets into the blood in the lungs. Regular measurements have been taken of how you have been breathing. Measurements were also taken of whether there is enough oxygen in your blood.

Additional indicator

If necessary, additional letters are appended to OPS codes to indicate which side of the body is affected.

  • L: Left
  • R: Right
  • B: Both sides

Further information

Note

Your doctor will assist you with any health-related questions and explain the OPS code to you in a direct consultation if necessary.
