title: Respiratory monitoring.
abstract: Scientific advances over the last 20 years have enabled us to monitor the respiratory status of our patients beyond the age-old methods taught in physical diagnosis. It is now possible to measure almost every parameter of ventilation, oxygen transport, and CO2 transport, thus enhancing patient safety and patient care.
