be verified by palpation. While the pulse oximeter and ECG both monitor heart rate, it is the pulse oximeter that assures pulsatile blood flow and is most useful for monitoring pulse. The ECG supplements this information and adds an ability to detect rhythm disturbances. Technical issues regarding electrocardiography and rhythm interpretation were presented more thoroughly in a previous continuing education article in this journal. 8 Published guidelines for patient monitoring during sedation are consistent in requiring the continuous assessment of

Depolarization and repolarization of cell membranes. A) The resting cell membrane is charged positively on the outside and negatively on the inside. B) Following a stimulus (S), positive ions enter the cell reversing this polarity. C) This process continues until the entire cell is depolarized. D) Ions are returned to their normal location and the cell repolarizes to its normal resting potential.
