evaluated in conjunction with the patient's clinical status and confirmed with additional
diagnostic tests consistent with each hospital's policy. Any concern about a patient's clinical
condition should prompt an urgent clinical review, irrespective of monitoring results.
WARNING: Visual indicator of the glide path should be adjusted according to the hospital's
policy and should not be used as the sole basis for medical decisions. It must be used in
conjunction with clinical signs and symptoms.
