Monitoring of Patients during Anesthesia and Surgery Haim Berkenstadt MD Director, Department of Anesthesiology Deputy Director, The Israel Center for Medical Simulation Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer April 2009
Agenda Requisites from anesthesia monitoring Physiological changes during anesthesia Complications of anesthesia Monitoring of specific physiological systems Generic considerations of monitoring
Monitoring? Physiological data Relevant On line measurement Continuous measurement Influence medical decision making Improve patients safety Cost effective
Physiological Changes During Anesthesia and Surgery Respiratory Changes Hypoventilation Hypoxemia Hemodynamic changes Preload Afterload Contractility
Physiological Changes During Anesthesia and Surgery Changes in neuromuscular function Changes in fluids balance Bleeding ADH Changes in heat exchange Exposure Vasodilatation
Complications of Anesthesia Common Damage to teeth Nausea and vomiting Pain Hypothermia
Complications of Anesthesia Life threatening Esophageal intubation Cardiac Respiratory Anesthesia machine malfunction Post operative residual neuromuscular blockade Awareness during anesthesia
Anesthesia Monitoring System
ECG
Heart rate Heart rhythm Myocardial ischemia
Blood Pressure Non invasive blood pressure measurement Invasive blood pressure measurement
Non Invasive Measurement What do we measure? Where to measure? Cuff size? Interval?
Invasive Blood Pressure Measurement
Pulse Oximetry Oxygen saturation Heart rate Plethysmography
Capnography Mechanically ventilated patient / Spontaneously breathing patient Side stream / Main stream
Capnography Respiratory rate End tidal CO2 Endotracheal intubation Cardiac output
Temperature - Core Body Temperature
Thermoregulation under Anesthesia
Consequences of Hypothermia Hemodynamic effects Coagulation Surgical wound infection Cardiac morbidity Metabolism of drugs Shivering
Temperature Measurement When? Where? Skin Esophageal Urine Blood
Neuromuscular Monitoring Nerve stimulator Electrical stimulus Measurement of motor response
Urine Output Volume status Increased urine output
Prevention of Awareness during Anesthesia
Gas Analyzer
Ventilation
Invasive Monitoring Central Venous Pressure, Pulmonary Capillary Occlusion Pressure, Cardiac Output, Intra-Cranial Pressure
Trans-esophageal Echocardiography
EEG
Monitoring Alarms Adaptation to Age and patients’ normal values Borders of safety Balance between Safety False alarms
Trends of Parameters
