Thus, the need for a book such as this is real and urgent. The book covers a wide field of monitoring devices and is not limited to those which are electronic in operation but includes a discussion of stethoscopes, blood-pressure cuffs, thermometers, and the methods of gas analysis. At all times the discussion is oriented toward those who have a minimum of background in physics and electronics and, as such, should be readable to all who are practicing anesthesiology. The book begins with a simple review of basic physics and electronics. The presentation is intended to be quite elementary and is perhaps a bit over simplified in some respects. For example, the attempt to explain
