Once the patient has been safely transferred to the OR table, appropriate monitors should be applied and intravenous access established.

Monitors

Initial basic monitoring for all patients includes:

1 A noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) cuff,

2 An electrocardiogram (ECG), and

3 A pulse oximeter probe to measure oxygen saturation (SPO2).

The NIBP cuff is typically placed on the patient’s upper arm opposite that used for intravenous access. The ECG electrodes are color coded and should be placed on flat, hairless sections of the patient’s torso far enough away from the surgical prep area.
