Clinical monitoring!!
Despite the advance in technology, clinical monitoring plays a vital role because the machines used to provide information can fail at some stage. Information provided from the machines should be confirmed by clinical means. It includes extensive monitoring of the anaesthetic machine and equipment, close observation of the patient and the events in the operating theatre. Depth of anaesthesia may be monitored by clinical parameters such as movements, lacrimation, sweating, increase in heart rate
and blood pressure. Cardiovascular parameters may be monitored by feeling peripheral pulses, capillary refill and auscultating the heart sounds. Respiratory parameters are monitored by observing chest movements, movement and feel of reservoir bag, auscultating lung fields and by observing the colour of lips and nail beds for cyanosis 5 5

Electrocardiography
Electrocardiography (ECG) is the process of recording the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time using electrodes placed on a patient's body. These electrodes detect the tiny electrical changes on the skin that arise from the heart muscle depolarizing during each heartbeat. 6 6

Proper Fit of a Blood Pressure Cuff
Width of bladder = 2/3 of upper arm

Why A Properly Fitting Cuff?
Too small causes false-high reading
Too LARGE causes false-low reading 18 18

19. be detected by palpation of radial or brachial artery.
9/11/2018
Automated devices are increasingly used in current clinical practice. The cuff is
inflated to a pressure above the expected systolic pressure and then slowly deflated at
a rate of 2-3 mmHg per beat. At systolic pressure peripheral pulse appears which can
be detected by palpation of radial or brachial artery. 19 19

20. Non-invasive Blood Pressure Measurement

21. Disadvantages of non-invasive technique
9/11/2018
Disadvantages of non-invasive technique
1. Inaccurate in the presence of arrhythmias.
2. Not possible to have continuous measurement.
3. Not reliable in extremes of BP (underestimates when too high and vice
versa).
4. Pressure effects when used for prolonged time and frequent reading resulting
in petechiae, nerve palsy. 21 21

Arterial monitoring
An invasive technique for monitoring arterial blood pressure.
Preferred in unstable patients because it is accurate and continuous 22 22

23. 9/11/2018
The technique of invasive pressure measurement involves placing a cannula in the peripheral artery. Radial, dorsalis pedis, brachial and femoral arteries are commonly used. The system includes a cannula placed in the artery connected to a transducer. In the transducer mechanical energy of movement of diaphragm due to arterial pulsations is converted in to an electrical energy and displayed as blood pressure reading on the monitor. The cannula is continuously flushed with heparinised normal saline to prevent clotting. 23 23

Allen's test
A test for integrity of the radial and ulnar arteries at the wrist. The examiner compresses the patient's radial and ulnar arteries at the wrist. The patient is then asked to open and close the hand rapidly until the palm appears white. The examiner then releases either the radial or the ulnar artery and looks for return of pink color and circulation to the hand. The test is then repeated releasing the other artery. The hand should return to its pink color within 6 seconds if circulation through that artery is adequate. 24 24

CVP
Central venous pressure (CVP), also known as mean venous pressure (MVP) is the pressure of blood in the thoracic vena cava, near the right atrium of the heart. CVP reflects the amount of blood returning to the heart and the ability of the heart to pump the blood into the arterial system. 29 29

30. The factors which affect the CVP are:
9/11/2018
The factors which affect the CVP are:
1.Systemic vasodilatation and hypovolaemia, which leads to reduced venous return in the vena cava and reduced RAP
2.Right ventricular failure
3.Tricuspid and Pulmonary valve disease
4.Pulmonary hypertension.
Right ventricular dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension leads to raised right atrial pressure, as does tricuspid and pulmonary stenosis. 30 30

31. Central venosus line: Indications for CVL:
9/11/2018
Central venosus line:
Indications for CVL:
•Severe hypovolaemia requiring rapid infusion
(although initial resuscitation may be peripheral through wide bore cannulae)
•Infusion of drugs which may cause peripheral problems e.g. vasoconstriction, phlebitis
•Measurement of central venous pressure (CVP)
•Confirmation of diagnosis e.g. Right heart failure
•Insertion of a pacing wire. 31 31

32. 9/11/2018
Sites for insertion:
Internal jugular, subclavian and femoral vein; ‘Long lines’ are also inserted in the brachial vein. 32 32

33. 9/11/2018 33 33

34. Normal CVP measurements:
9/11/2018
Normal CVP measurements:
The normal CVP is between 5 –10 cm of H2O (it increases 3 –5 cm H2O when patient is being ventilated)
• In high dependency areas an electronic transducer is connected instead of the manometer system. This gives a continuous readout of CVP along with a display of the waveform. This may be measured in mmHg.
(Note:10 cmH20 = 7.5mmHg =1kPa) 34 34

35. 9/11/2018 35 35

36. 9/11/2018
Many factors can affect CVP, including vessel tone, medications, heart disease and medical
treatments. A CVP measurement should be viewed in conjunction with other observations such as pulse, blood pressure and respiratory rate and the patients response to treatment. 36 36

37. Potential complications
9/11/2018
Potential complications
Haemorrhage from the catheter site - if it becomes disconnected from the infusion. Patients who have coagulation problems such as those on warfarin or those will clotting disorders are at risk.
Catheter occlusion, by a blood clot or kinked tube - regular flushing of the CVC line and a well secured dressing should help to avoid this.
Infection - redness, pain, swelling around the catheter insertion site may all indicate infection.
Air embolus - if the infusion or monitoring lines become disconnected there is a risk that air can enter the venous system. All lines and connections should be checked at the start of every shift to minimise the risk of this occurring.
Catheter displacement - if the CVC moves into the chambers of the heart then cardiac arrhythmias may be noted, and should be reported. If the CVC is no longer in the correct position, CVP readings and medication administration will be affected. 37 37

38. Pulmonary Artery Catheter
9/11/2018
Pulmonary Artery Catheter
In medicine pulmonary artery catheterization (PAC) is the insertion of a catheter into a pulmonary artery. Its purpose is diagnostic; it is used to detect heart failure or sepsis, monitor therapy, and evaluate the effects of drugs. The pulmonary artery catheter allows direct, simultaneous measurement of pressures in the right atrium, right ventricle, pulmonary artery, and the filling pressure ("wedge" pressure) of the left atrium.
The pulmonary artery catheter is frequently referred to as a Swan-Ganz catheter, in honor of its inventors Jeremy Swan and William Ganz 38 38
