Abstract
The measurement of arterial oxygen saturations, end-tidal carbon dioxide and pH are all key to modern anaesthetic practice. They can all be measured in a variety of ways but with the most common being discussed in the article. The understanding of the underlying physical principles and how the anaesthetist monitors function to measure these variables is discussed in this article, including limitations and inaccuracies of each technique.
