Abstract:
The bispectral index (BIS) is widely used to measure anesthetic levels in the perioperative period. In our hospital, the BIS monitors (A-2000) are connected to bedside monitors and display BIS values on them through outside input. All datas on the bedside monitors are transmitted to anesthesia information management system automatically. We report cases that were impossible to measure BIS values with the displays of "Invalid Sensor" on the BIS A-2000 sensor, but BIS values were measurable on the bedside monitors. One possible reason is thought that the BIS Quatro Sensor transmits both EEG signals and sensor information to the BIS A-2000 monitor separately. BIS A-2000 monitors may process EEG signals and sensor information individually, and transfer BIS parameters to the external equipments, regardless of sensor information.

01:30Equipments 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...

Monitoring Both Arms:
Monitoring BP in both arms during the initial assessment is advisable, as the systolic value may differ by five to ten mm Hg between arms. For subsequent BP assessments, use the arm with the higher reading.

Step 1:
Start by practicing proper hand hygiene to prevent the spread of microorganisms.
Step 2:
Take the thermometer out of the charging unit, switch it on, and wait for the ready sign.
Step 3:
Gently slide the probe cover until a click is heard. This simple action prevents cross-contamination and ensures the correct placement of the probe cover.
Step 4:
Instruct the patient to open their mouth and place...
