Studies have demonstrated that this tech-nique provides comparable estimates of cardiac output when compared to routine PAC thermodilution and can accurately detect changes in cardiac output as small as 12%.38 However, due to the large blood circuit between the central injection point and the thermistor, data can be challenging to interpret in cer-tain pathophysiologic conditions (e.g., in pulmonary edema, as excess lung water serves as a temperature sink).

Both standard PAC thermodilution and TPTD make use of the Stewart-Hamilton equation to subsequently cal-culate cardiac output. Studies have demonstrated that this tech-nique provides comparable estimates of cardiac output when compared to routine PAC thermodilution and can accurately detect changes in cardiac output as small as 12%.38 However, due to the large blood circuit between the central injection point and the thermistor, data can be challenging to interpret in cer-tain pathophysiologic conditions (e.g., in pulmonary edema, as excess lung water serves as a temperature sink).

In mammalian tissue, three compounds change their absorption pattern when oxygenated: cytochrome aa3, myoglobin, and hemoglobin. Because of the distinct absorption spectra of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin, Beer’s law can be used to detect their relative concentrations within tissue.

It is considered one of the most important and useful technologic advances in patient monitoring. Continuous, noninvasive monitoring of arterial oxygen saturation is pos-sible using light-emitting diodes and sensors placed on the skin. Pulse oximetry employs two wavelengths of light (i.e., 660 nm and 940 nm) to analyze the pulsatile component of blood flow between the light source and sensor. Because oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin have different absorption spectra, differ-ential absorption of light at these two wavelengths can be used to calculate the fraction of oxygen saturation of hemoglobin.

In healthy subjects, Petco2 is about 1 to 5 mmHg less than Paco2.66 Thus, Petco2 can be used to estimate Paco2 without the need for blood gas determination. However, changes in Petco2 may not correlate with changes in Paco2 dur-ing a number of pathologic conditions.Capnography allows the confirmation of endotracheal intubation and continuous assessment of ventilation, integrity of the airway, operation of the ventilator, and cardiopulmonary function.

Capnometers are configured with either an inline sen-sor or a sidestream sensor. The sidestream systems are lighter and easy to use, but the thin tubing that samples the gas from the ventilator circuit can become clogged with secretions or condensed water, preventing accurate measurements. The inline devices are bulky and heavier but are less likely to become clogged. Continuous monitoring with capnography has become routine during surgery under general anesthesia and for some intensive care patients. A number of situations can be promptly detected with continuous capnography.

Goals of therapy in both groups included maintaining an ICP <20 mmHg and a CPP >60 mmHg. Among patients with PbtO2 monitoring, therapy also was directed at maintaining PbtO2 >25 mmHg. The groups had similar mean daily ICP and CPP levels. The mortality rate in the historical controls treated with standard ICP and CPP management was 44%. Mortality was significantly lower in the patients who had therapy guided by PbtO2 monitoring in addition to ICP and CPP (25%; P <.05). The benefits of PbtO2 monitoring may include the early detection of brain tissue isch-emia despite normal ICP and CPP. In addition, PbtO2-guided management may reduce potential adverse effects associated with therapies to maintain ICP and CPP.CONCLUSIONSModern intensive care is predicated by the need and ability to continuously monitor a wide range of physiologic parameters.

Goals of therapy in both groups included maintaining an ICP <20 mmHg and a CPP >60 mmHg. Among patients with PbtO2 monitoring, therapy also was directed at maintaining PbtO2 >25 mmHg. The groups had similar mean daily ICP and CPP levels. The mortality rate in the historical controls treated with standard ICP and CPP management was 44%. Mortality was significantly lower in the patients who had therapy guided by PbtO2 monitoring in addition to ICP and CPP (25%; P <.05). The benefits of PbtO2 monitoring may include the early detection of brain tissue isch-emia despite normal ICP and CPP. In addition, PbtO2-guided management may reduce potential adverse effects associated with therapies to maintain ICP and CPP.CONCLUSIONSModern intensive care is predicated by the need and ability to continuously monitor a wide range of physiologic parameters.

This capability has dramatically improved the care of critically ill patients and advanced the development of the specialty of critical care medicine. In some cases, the technological abil-ity to measure such variables has surpassed our understanding of the significance or the knowledge of the appropriate inter-vention to ameliorate such pathophysiologic changes. In addi-tion, the development of less invasive monitoring methods has been promoted by the recognition of complications associated with invasive monitoring devices.

Minimally Invasive Surgery, Robotics, Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery, and Single-Incision Laparoscopic SurgeryDonn H. Spight, Blair A. Jobe, and John G. Hunter 14chapterINTRODUCTIONMinimally invasive surgery describes an area of surgery that crosses all traditional disciplines, from general surgery to neu-rosurgery. It is not a discipline unto itself, but more a philosophy of surgery, a way of thinking. Minimally invasive surgery is a means of performing major operations through small inci-sions, often using miniaturized, high-tech imaging sys-tems, to minimize the trauma of surgical exposure. Some believe that the term minimal access surgery more accurately describes the small incisions generally necessary to gain access to surgical sites in high-tech surgery, but John Wickham’s term minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is widely used because it describes the paradox of postmodern high-tech surgery—small holes, big operations.Robotic surgery today is practiced using a

Wickham’s term minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is widely used because it describes the paradox of postmodern high-tech surgery—small holes, big operations.Robotic surgery today is practiced using a single platform (Intuitive, Inc, Sunnyvale, CA) and should better be termed computer-enhanced surgery because the term robotics assumes autonomous action that is not a feature of the da Vinci robotic system. Instead, the da Vinci robot couples an ergonomic work-station that features stereoptic video imaging and intuitive micromanipulators (surgeon side) with a set of arms deliver-ing specialized laparoscopic instruments enhanced with more degrees of freedom than are allowed by laparoscopic surgery alone (patient side). A computer between the surgeon side and patient side removes surgical tremor and scales motion to allow 1precise microsurgery, which is helpful for microdissection and difficult anastomoses.Single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS), also called laparoendoscopic single-site

As public awareness has grown, so too has its spread outside of larger institutions. SILS challenges the well-established paradigm of standard laparoscopic surgery by placing multiple trocars within the fascia at the umbilicus or through a single multichannel trocar at the umbilicus. The manipulation of tightly spaced instruments across the fulcrum of the abdomi-nal wall requires that the surgeon either operate in a crossed hands fashion or use specialized curved instruments to avoid clashing outside the body while working intra-abdominally. The primary advantage of SILS is the reduction to one surgical scar. Greater efficacy, safety, and cost savings have yet to be fully elucidated in the
