Sensory deficits: impairments in vision or hearing that affect how patients interact with their environment and communicate effectively.
Geriatrics with chronic diseases: elderly individuals managing long-term health conditions that may influence their care needs and physical capabilities.
Tracheostomy tubes: artificial airway devices inserted into the trachea, which are susceptible to obstruction by mucus or foreign bodies, requiring careful monitoring.
Apnea monitors: devices used to monitor respiratory function, particularly in premature infants at risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs): mechanical pumps supporting the ventricles of the heart, which can make pulse palpation difficult and necessitate CPR readiness.
External defibrillator vest: a wearable device capable of delivering shocks to correct cardiac arrhythmias.
