Management and emergency intervention during anesthesia.
Proper management and monitoring during anesthesia minimizes the need for emergency intervention. Monitoring of circulation, ventilation, and oxygenation allows for early recognition of problems such as airway obstruction, hypotension, acid-base disturbances, or cardiac arrest, and is discussed. Appropriate therapies are instituted early for best success and are described in this article.
