title: Optimizing the electrocardiogram and pressure monitoring.
abstract: Monitoring the electrocardiogram and directly measuring BP provide current and important data for intraoperative and ICU patient management. However, these physiologic measurements are not infallible; their accuracy is largely dependent on the careful set-up and use of the measuring instruments. This report integrates practical clinical and engineering information to provide a basis for optimizing ECG and pressure monitoring in the clinical setting.
