Brief summary

During anaesthesia and intensive care multiple physiological measurements are made such as electrocardiogram, arterial blood pressure, pulse oximetry, capnography, lung inflation flows and pressures and processed EEG. The increasing availability of sophisticated signal processing techniques and the computing power to undertake them means that novel indexes can be developed to enhance the effectiveness of the monitors and promote deeper insights into patient wellbeing.. This study will use an observational, opportunisic methodology to assemble a set of deidentified waveforms during anaesthesia and intensive care management. This library will then be available for ad-hoc testing of various signal processing strategies.

Interventions

Physiological waveforms will be recorded during anaesthesia and intensive care management including ECG, blood pressure, pulse oximetry, BIS, airway pressure and capnography. These will be recorded during care [up to 4 hours]. After deidentification they will be archived for future testing of signal processing algorithms.
