[Perspectives on Vital Sign Monitoring Systems in Perioperative Period of Thoracic Surgery].

Abstract

In this review article, the latest monitoring systems for vital signs in intensive care units (ICU), presenting illness-severity score, early warning score, are introduced. These systems combined with artificial intelligence might integrate into tele/remote-ICU system, and would provide evidence-based standardized perioperative care after cardiothoracic surgeries, and improve the outcomes of surgeries.
