Patient monitoring in the operating theatre
Abstract:
Anaesthetised patients are monitored to ensure their safety. Simple clinical observations must not be replaced by electronic instruments--these provide an extension of the clinical senses. The choice of parameters for monitoring is discussed. The design of the Ninewells main operating theatre suite is described. An 8-channel bourne in the base of the theatre table conveys patient signals to a 4-channel recorder in a monitoring laboratory. Outputs are displayed on a wall mounted display in theatre. Two-way speech intercommunication exists with monitoring technician and students.
