 WARNING: I find this system useful, but it has NOT been validated by anyone else. Use it at your own risk. Your feedback is most welcome.

When a patient is under an anesthetic it is necessary to monitor and deal with a variety of systems on a continuous basis. A systematic approach  will help you to achieve this quickly , efficiently, and completely. This website offers one such system that you may incorporate in your day to day anesthetic care. It is rapid, easy to remember, and easy to do.
