About The Webinar
This webinar aims to give an overview of both the importance of, and potential ways in which the blood pressure can be monitored during anaesthesia. It introduces the relevance of understanding underlying physiological and haemodynamic principles before continuing to the specific pieces of monitoring equipment. The physical principles upon which these pieces of equipment are based will be introduced and the advantages and limitations of the equipment discussed. Measurement of central venous pressure will also be briefly mentioned. While this webinar is aimed primarily for application in the anaesthetised patient, it also has relevance to those patients which may require more intensive monitoring in a critical care situation.
