WARNING
Anaesthetic systems have the
capability to deliver mixtures of
gases and vapours to the patient
which could cause injury or
death unless controlled by a
qualified anaesthetist.
There can be considerable
variation in the effect of
anaesthetic drugs on individual
patients so that the setting and
observation of control levels on
the anaesthesia systems does
not in itself ensure total patient
safety.
Anaesthesia system monitors
and patient monitors are very
desirable aids for the
anaesthetist but are not true
clinical monitors as the
condition of the patient is also
dependent on his respiration
and the functioning of his
cardio-vascular system.
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THESE
ELEMENTS ARE MONITORED
FREQUENTLY AND REGULARLY
AND THAT ANY OBSERVATIONS
ARE GIVEN PRECEDENCE
OVER MACHINE CONTROL
PARAMETERS IN JUDGING THE
STATE OF A CLINICAL
PROCEDURE.
