Our current practice environment is daunting.
Providing safe quality care using technology and
receiving feedback that didn’t even exist 15 years ago
should be easy, but it isn’t. The plethora of information
and the number and variety of monitors available for
use has increased in an almost exponential fashion. On
October 27, 2019, a PubMed search of “noninvasive
monitoring of cardiac output” yielded 809 references, a
Google search for “anesthesiology guidelines” 25,700
references, and there are at least 9 different technologies
for monitoring of cardiac output incorporated into
commercially available products.
This book aims to be different than other monitoring
books and focuses on the “practical.” Chapters on
statistics and electronic distraction are unique and
provide a framework for evaluation of all monitors,
and reveal the risk that too much information poses to
the care that we provide. Other chapters focus on the
“why” monitoring a certain variable may be advantageous,
the basics of “how” the monitor works, and
“what” is the evidence of the impact on patient outcome.
A basic theme of the chapters is that just because
we can do something does not mean we should, and
sometimes less may be more, but a working knowledge
of the whys, hows, and whats of modern monitoring
in anesthesiology and perioperative care will
allow every provider to optimize their patient’s safety
and the quality of care they provide.
