PG3 Cardiorespiratory monitoring in critically ill patients
Postgraduate CourseChairs: Antonio Artigas (Sabadell (Barcelona), Spain), David A. Kaufman (Charlottesville, United States of America)
Aims: To analyse the fundamental concepts of monitoring, such as accuracy, precision, signal-to-noise ratio, and possible sources of error; to promote understanding of the underlying physiological principles of each monitoring system; and to apply these concepts to clinical situations in simulated scenarios.
Target audience: Consultant physicians in the pulmonary, critical care and anaesthesiology fields, residents in training, medical students, nurses, and respiratory therapists.
