Getting the most out of your monitor: a tweetorial thread. Inspired by a twitter question from @mork66236485 and @GongGasGirl's chairing of the @aagbi's latest recommendations on monitoring. Lets start with a series of #OnePagers on aspects of the ECG #FOAMed #MedTwitter

One more on the ECG. So much of what we do is pattern recognition, so the next three look at waveforms for three of our most used monitoring devices; arterial/SaO2, capnography and CVP. #FOAMed

NMT and EEG are becoming more and more ubiquitous. Here's a pair of #Onepagers. And we're now going to move on to the information we can get from the monitoring that's part of our ventilators. #FOAMed

Finishing up on ventilator graphics. We move on to point of care coagulation testing and oesophageal doppler (believe it or not, it's still being used!) #FOAMed

For our final three #OnePagers - some devices that you're more likely to encounter in intensive care / cath lab / neuro theatre. I hope that's been helpful! As always let me know what you think! #MedTwitter #FOAMed
