Abstract

Respiratory monitoring should provide information that safeguards a patient with respiratory failure on and off the ventilator. The information should both prevent disasters and allow control over the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood. There are four levels of respiratory monitoring discussed in this paper: (a) disaster prevention, (b) mechanics monitoring, (c) blood-gas monitoring, and (d) derived-parameters monitoring.
