THE IMPORTANCE OF PATIENT MONITORING
WARNING
Anaesthetic systems have the capability
to deliver mixtures of gases and vapours
to the patient which could cause injury or
death unless controlled by a qualified
anaesthetist.
There can be considerable variation in
the effect of anaesthetic drugs on
individual patients so that the setting and
observation of control levels on the
anaesthesia systems does not in itself
ensure total patient safety.
Anaesthesia system monitors and patient
monitors are very desirable aids for the
anaesthetist but are not true clinical
monitors as the condition of the patient is
also dependent on his respiration and the
functioning of his cardio-vascular system.
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THESE ELEMENTS
ARE MONITORED FREQUENTLY AND
REGULARLY
AND THAT ANY
OBSERVATIONS ARE GIVEN
PRECEDENCE OVER MACHINE CONTROL
PARAMETERS IN JUDGING THE STATE OF
A CLINICAL PROCEDURE.
