When monitoring a patient’s anaesthesia, each physiological parameter is like a piece of a puzzle and it is vital to understand how they all fit together, to form the bigger picture.

In this presentation, we will look at all these physiological parameters whilst discussing what they actually mean and how to defunk the terminology.

Topics to be discussed will include:

• The Palpebral Reflex
• Eye Position
• Jaw Tone
• Pedal Reflex
• Pulse Oximetry
• Blood Pressure
• Capnography
• Electrocardiogram (ECG)
