Significant advances continue in perioperative monitoring.Among medical specialties,anesthesiology has been a pioneer in review and analysis of perioperative mishaps and implementation of improved monitoring techniques and guidelines.These monitors include pulse oximetry,which measures oxygen saturation in a pulsating vessel (SpO₂),and capnography,which measures end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO₂)level.These advances have resulted in significant decreases in morbidity and mortality.
