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

Decisions are complex and come in two broad categories; What would you do coming to this junction on a dark and stormy night requires a perceptual decision based on sensory data (not a lot of higher cognition)
Who your favourite bond is, is a preferential decision - requiring much more higher cognition and deliberation, but much less sensory input (in case you're wondering, it's Timothy Dalton ... no question)
