title: [Hemodynamic monitoring - Basic monitoring].
abstract: Basic haemodynamic monitoring is an essential part of the anaesthesia work place. This includes Monitoring of ECG, blood pressure and pulse oximetry. For early assessement of perioperative complications every patient should have a basic haemodynamic monitoring, independant of current health status or the type of anaesthesia applied. Knowledge of function, principles and limitations ais necessary for proper interpretation of the measured values. Here, we describe the function and application of ECG, non - invasive intermittent blood pressure and pulse oximetry in the perioperative setting.
