Other than the immediate treatment of drug allergy symptoms, the main treatment for penicillin allergy is avoidance of future use of penicillin and related antibiotics. Cephalosporins can cause allergic reactions in people with penicillin allergy.
Telemetry is an automated communications process by which measurements are made and other data collected at remote or inaccessible points and transmitted to receiving equipment for monitoring. The word is derived from Greek roots: tele = remote, and metron = measure.
For this reason, telemetry is sometimes used to monitor patients who appear to be stable, but are at risk of complications, such as post-surgical patients. Sleep clinics and clinics which study neurological issues may also utilize a telemetry unit.
