3. Introduction...
Importance of monitoring...
To provide safety in the preoperative period.
To avoid surgical and anesthesia complications.
To prevent from physiological Disturbances.
4. Wt should be monitored...
Circulation ( cardiovascular)
Ventilation ( respiration)
Oxygenation ( cardioresporation)
9. Non – invasive monitoring....
1.ECG...
• detect cardiovascular problems during perioperative period.
• detect arrythmias., ( lead 2 )
• detect ischemia. (V5)
Timings : it should be monitored throughout the surgery until recovery.
Leads : Either 3 leads or 5 leads are used.
Complications :
Patient refusal
Allergy to adhesive tapes.
10. 2. Non invasive blood pressure :
It is used to detect systolic and diastolic pressure automatically at set intervals.
Frequency of measurement :
By default every 5 minutes.
For spinal anesthesia every 3 minutes.
For GA every 5 minutes
For monitored anesthesia care pt it should be monitored for every 10minutes.
11. Complications in NIBP :
Nerve damage.
Compartmrnt syndrome.
How to Treat intraoperative hypotension and hypertension
1. Intraoperative Hypotension Can be managed with fluids.
2. Etomidate is preferred for pre existing hypotension pt.
3. Hypotension is common in spinal anesthesia
4. Patient with pre existing hypertension , suitable drug should be given prior.
12. Semi invasive monitoring...
Transoesophageal echo :
It is use to detect the abnormalities at the wall of The heart.
Most commonly used in cardiac surgeries.
It is far from the setup.
Complications :
Damage to teeth, throat, oesophagus
Breathing problems.
Bleeding.
13. Invasive monitoring..
1. Invasive blood pressure :
It is used in patient for beat to beat monitor .
Accurate monitoring is obtained
It is called gold Standard period
Difference between nibp and ibp will be 8 mmhg
Sites
1. Radial artery
2. Femoral artery
3. Brachial artery
4. Dorsalis pedis artery
14. How to choose artery :
Allens test
Normal - <7sec
Boderline – 7 to 14s
Risk - more than 15s.
16. 2. Central venous pressure :
It is direct method of measuring blood pressure through the central veins that is
close to the heart.
Ie junction of superior vena cava and rt atrium.
Sites:
1. Rt internal jugular vein
2. Subclavian
3. Basilic
4. Femoral vein.
Normal value : 3 to 10cm of h20
Children’s : 3 to 6 Cm of h20.
17. Indications :
1. Open heart surgeries
2. Major surgeries
3. Fluid management in shock
4. Parenteral nutrition
5. As venous access.
6. Aspiration of air embolism.
19. Complications :
Air embolism
Thromboembolism
Pneumothorax/ haemothorax
Sepsis
Cardiac perfusion
Trauma to brachial plexus, carotid artery, and airway during insertion.
Sepsis ( late complication)
20. Prevention :
Sterile techniques
Avoid ointments
Disinfect cathether hub
Avoid difficult Cathetherization
Dont change cathether route often
Remove no more usage
Prefer subclavian.
21. 3 . Pulmonary artery catheterization :
It is an invasive method by inserting a cathether to the vessels between heart and lung to detect the blood clots and
other cvs prblms.
It is AKA swan-gazz cathertization.
Indications :
Pulmonary hypertension
Assesement in shock
Pericardial tamponade
Measure cardiac output ; RA pressure ; LA pressure.
24. 1. Pulse oximeter :
Indication :
To measure oxygen saturation in blood.
To detect intraop and post op hypoxia
Normal – 97 to 100%
Errors:
1. Carboxyhaemoglobinenia
2. Methhemoglobinemia
3. Anemia
4. Hypovolemia and vasoconstriction
5. Vasodilation
6. Nail polish
7. Shivering
8. Dyes.
25. PRINCIPLE:
Pulse oxymeter works on the principle of BEER-
LAMBERT law ,which states that different solvents
absorb infrared at different wave lengths.
A pulse oxymeter probe emits two lights of
different wavelengths.(Red-660nm& infrared -
940nm).
Oxyhemoglobin absorbs more infrared light.
Deoxyhemoglobin absorbs more red light.
26. Co oximeter :
It is special type of oximeter use to detect spo2 between normal and abnormal
hemoglobin.
Complication :
1. False reading
2. Pressure sores / burns.
Sites:
Finger nail bed, toe nail, ear lobule, tip of nose.
27. 2 . Capnography :
It is used to monitor the partial pressure of co2 during anesthesia.
Normal value : 32 to 42 mmhg.
Uses:
1. It is used to confirm tube position
2. To control level of hypocapnia and hyperventilation in neurosurgery.
Principle : infrared light is absorbed by carbon dioxide.
29. Etco2 = 0 Etco2 decreases No change Etco2 increases
1. Esophageal
intubation
1. Pulmonary
embolism
1.Bronchospasm 1.Exhausted
sodalime
2.• Accidental
extubation ,
•Obstruction
•disconnection
• ventilation failure
2. Decreased co2
production in
hypothermia
2. Increase
production in
hypermetabolic
status.
3. Cardiac failure. 3. Hypoventilation
30. 3. Blood gas analysis :
Blood gas analysis is used to detect the oxygenation , acid base balance and
ventilation during perioperative period.
Sites : radial ; brachial ; femoral artery
Things to be seen in abg:
Oxygenation : pa02, So2
Ventilation : Pco2
Acid base balance : ph, Hco3
31.
32. Others
4. Lung volume – spirometer
5. Oxygen analysers –
•use to monitor actual amount of o2 delivered
• placed in inspiratory limb
• particularly used in closed circuit.
6. Airway pressure monitoring :
• it is placed in all modern machine, should be less than 20 to 25 cm of h20
• low pressure indicates disconnection
• high pressure indicates bronchospasm.
33. 8. Apnea monitoring :
It is cessation of respiration for more than 10s
In intubated patient :
1. Capnography
2. Airway pressure monitoring
In non intubated patient :
1. Airflow at Nostril.
2. Chest movement
For both
Pulse oximeter
34. Temperature.
It is used to monitor intraoperative hypothermia.
It is used in cardiac cases, pediatric cases, patient with burns and febrile.
Most accurate is core temperature.
Sites :
1. Esophagus
2. Pulmonary artery
3. Nasopharynx
4. Tympanic membrane
35. Hypothermia : It is core temperature less than 35°c
Reasons --- 1. Cool room temperature
2. Heat loss ( vasodilators drugs)
3. Cold iv fluids
• mild --- 28 to 35°c.
• moderate --- 21 to 27°c
• severe ---- < 20°c
38. Neuromuscular monitoring...
It is used In patient with neuromuscular disease like myasthenia gravis
It is used to monitor the reversal response.

1. Tachycardia, hypertension
2. Movement response to painful stimuli
3. Perspiration
4. Lacrimation
5. Tachypnea
6. Breath holding
7. Eye movements.
40. Monitors include :
EEG:

41. Blood loss monitoring...
It is measured by weighing blood soaked swabs, sponges And estimation of blood
loss in suction bottle.
Rough guide :
1. Fully soaked swab – 20ml of loss
2. Fully soaked sponge – 100 to 120ml
3. A fist of clots – 200 to 300 ml of loss.
