Physiological data display during anaesthesia

International journal of clinical monitoring and computing volume 3, pages 123–130 (1986)Cite this article

Summary

It is difficult to chart more than three or four physiological parameters on one graph without causing confusion because of multiple symbols, crossing lines or different scales. A method of charting multiple parameters simultaneously is described which minimises this confusion and can, at a glance, inform the user of the acceptability of the results.
