[Instrumental monitoring in anesthesia. Results of a rapid electronic data processing survey at the time of the 1987 Central European Congress in Munich].
During the ZAK 1987 in Munich we performed a poll concerning monitoring during anaesthesia. 200 questionnaires could be evaluated. A majority of 2/3 rd monitored regularly blood pressure, ECG, FiO2, minute ventilation and ventilation pressure. These quantities were monitored independent of a presumably increasing anaesthesia risk associated with three clinical cases. Only blood pressure and ECG were considered as mandatory by a majority of 2/3 rd. Monitoring variables related more to the anaesthesia machine lide FiO2, minute ventilation, and ventilation pressure did not reach a 2/3 re majority. 78% detected at least once in their business life time a life threatening complication by monitoring devices earlier than by so called clinical signs. EEG and capnometer were the most frequent quoted monitors. Monitoring of neuromuscular blockade and intraoperative awareness was considered as a relevant problem only by 22%. 20% agreed to additional monitoring on the general ward while 2/3 rd disagreed.
