This guideline updates and replaces the 5th edition of the Standards of Monitoring published in 2015. The aim of this document is to provide guidance on the minimum standards for monitoring of any patient undergoing anaesthesia or sedation under the care of an anaesthetist. The recommendations are primarily aimed at anaesthetists practising in the UK and Ireland, but it is recognised that these guidelines may also be of use in other areas of the world. For this podcast, Tanya Selak joined us from Australia with authors Andrew Klein, Tim Meek and Tei Sheraton. This one is not to be missed! Enjoy!
