Assessing respiration
Observing the movements of the chest can be used to monitor the pattern and depth of respiration, although this becomes difficult if surgical drapes have been placed. This problem can be overcome by using electronic monitors, for example, a respiratory monitor to detect each breath, or a pulse oximeter to measure the adequacy of oxygenation.
