Typically, our anaesthetized patients are monitored with the following: Capnograph (
measures expired carbon dioxide and breaths), Apnea
alarm (
alarms if breathing stops), Pulse Oximetry (
measures Oxygen levels in the blood), Scrolling EKG (
measures electrical activity
of the heart), Blood Pressures (using a Oscillometric Cardell Blood Pressure unit), Thermometer (keeping the patient warm is critical to
success) and
of course a dedicated technician monitoring other parameters (like depth
of anesthesia, pulse pressures, etc) continuously throughout.
