AB Hemodynamic monitoring in the critically ill patient requires the use of sophisticated electronic devices. To use this equipment one should have a general understanding of the principles involved and the requirements of a reliable system. This communication serves to explain the requirements of the various components of a hemodynamic monitoring system and to demonstrate how they interact to produce accurate and safe electronic signals from mechanical wave forms obtained from the patient.
