What is at what point during resuscitation is a cardiac monitor recommended?

A cardiac monitor is recommended during resuscitation as soon as it is available. It provides immediate information about the patient's heart rhythm, which can guide treatment decisions. It is particularly important during advanced life support, which involves the use of medications and electrical therapies such as defibrillation. Continuous cardiac monitoring is also important during transport of critically ill patients. By monitoring the patient's heart rhythm throughout the resuscitation process, healthcare providers can adjust their treatment plan and improve the chances of a favorable outcome.
