Anaesthetic monitoring
In particular sick & older patients or trauma cases require close monitoring under anaesthetic as they are often recovering from shock and may have pulmonary or myocardial contusions. Some fracture repairs and spinal operations can be take several hours and the ability to monitor vital signs and take action to correct variations in blood pressure or oxygenation etc can be beneficial.
Parameters which are monitored under general anaesthetic include:
Continous Electrocardiogram trace
Non invasive blood pressure
Pulse oximetry spO2
Core body temperature rectal probe
Respiratory rate
Minute volume
Tidal volume
Inspired oxygen concentration
Inspired isoflurane and nitrous oxide concentration’
Capnography (end expired CO2 concentration)
Pre anaesthetic blood testing
Higher risk or older patients receive a pre anaesthetic
blood test to assess liver and kidney function to reduce
anaesthetic risks.
