Abstract
The purpose of monitoring patients during anesthesia is to provide early detection of any deterioration of the patient that may arise, thus allowing the clinician to prevent any ill effects from occuring to the patient. In the United States of America, most operating rooms are equipped with arrays of non-integrated individual monitors which have high number of non-specific and false alarms, and can be annoying and distracting to clinicians. These monitors work by being set at a limit around a variable and if conditions arise outside the limits of this set variable an alarm will be sounded to notify the clinicians.
