Cardiovascular monitoring: clinical applications of technologic advancements
1University of California, San Francisco.
Abstract:
Increasing senescence is leading to increased incidence of cardiovascular disease in the surgical population. Because of advances in technology, extensive cardiovascular monitoring is increasingly available, and guidelines for monitoring are being developed. An understanding of the cardiac risk of the patient allows proper choice of monitors. Several advances have been made in the monitoring of blood pressure, myocardial ischemia, infarction, arrhythmias, and various systemic parameters. The large-scale studies necessary to elucidate the impact of monitoring on clinical outcome have yet to be conducted.

Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure
This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...
