Optimizing the electrocardiogram and pressure monitoring.
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.
