anesthesia monitoring
Anesthesia monitoring refers to the careful observation and assessment of a patient's vital signs and overall health during surgery when they are under general anesthesia. This involves tracking heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and breathing patterns to ensure the patient remains stable and safe. An anesthesia provider uses specialized equipment to continuously monitor these parameters and make real-time adjustments to the anesthesia, ensuring the patient is comfortable and safe throughout the procedure. Effective monitoring is crucial to quickly address any changes that may arise, minimizing risks and complications related to anesthesia.
