AB  - Basic  cardiopulmonary  resuscitation  (CPR)  begins  with  a  patient  assessment  (Annie  are  you  OK,  check  breathing,  pulse  check)  which  determines  if  and  which  treatment  is  needed.  Following  treatment,  reassessment  is  performed.  An  automatic  external  defibrillator  (AED)  assesses  the  patient’s  electrocardiogram  (ECG)  before  delivering  a  shock  if  needed.  Anesthesia  patient  care  also  follows  this  sequence  of  assessment,  treatment,  then  reassessment.  The  primary  agent  for  assessment  is  the  health  care  provider,  who  may  use  tests,  devices,  or  monitors  to  aid  the  assessment.  The  American  Society  of  Anesthesiologists  (ASA)  has  affirmed  standards  for  basic  anesthetic  monitoring  during  general  anesthetics,  regional  anesthetics,  and  monitored  anesthesia  care.  The  first  standard  requires  qualified  anesthesia  personnel  to  be  present  in  the  room  continuously  to  assess  and  treat  the  patient  during  these  procedures.  “Continuous”  is  defined  as  “prolonged  without  any  interruption  at  any  time”  while  the  term  “continual”  means  “repeated  regularly  and  frequently  in  steady  rapid  succession.”  An  arterial  line  can  provide  continuous  systemic  blood  pressure  monitoring  while  an  automated  blood  pressure  cuff  set  at  5-minute  intervals  can  provide  continual  blood  pressure  readings.
