Computers are serving intensive care patients by simplifying and improving the accuracy of data acquisition, facilitating communications, storing and organizing patient records, and providing expert suggestions. The future will bring many changes in the way nurses practice in intensive care. The computer should be considered an evolutionary tool to help effect these changes.

Monitoring the electrocardiogram and directly measuring BP provide current and important data for intraoperative and ICU patient management. However, these physiologic measurements are not infallible; their accuracy is largely dependent on the careful set-up and use of the measuring instruments. This report integrates practical clinical and engineering information to provide a basis for optimizing ECG and pressure monitoring in the clinical setting.
