title: Technology assessment status evaluation: monitoring equipment for endoscopy. American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.
abstract: An understanding of the principles and limitations of monitoring devices is valuable for their appropriate use and interpretation. Reliable monitoring de available as an adjunct to skilled personnel to detect changes in patient condition during endoscopy. Combination units that provide pulse oximetry, automated sphygmomanometry and ECG monitoring appear to be the most convenient and cost effective products.
