The cardiac monitor is recommended to assess the baby’s heart rate when there is an irregular heartbeat.

The heartbeat is usually measured by a stethoscope. The average or recommended heart beat for infant is 100-160 beats per minute (bpm) .

<h3>What is Electrocardiogram?</h3>

This helps to monitor the electrical activity of the heart and also helps to

detect heart rhythm to detect if it is abnormal(arrhythmia). This device acts as a cardiac monitor so as to ensure the condition is properly managed to prevent death.

thus, a stethoscope is usually measured by the heartbeat.
