Description
Problems related to ventilation are by far the most common causes related to mishaps in anaesthesia. This book deals with the practical aspects of clinical monitoring of gases and presents a section on the technology underlying the different clinical methods of measuring gases. Part II of the text provides the reader with an understanding of the various technologies (raman spectroscopy, photo acoustic spectrometers, mass spectrometry and piezoelectric devices) so that readers can select the one most suitable to their clinical need. It also provides a discussion of sample acquisition and flow measurements.
