AbstractContinuous monitoring of heart rate and rhythm are regarded as minimal standards of monitoring during anaesthesia. However, when the thoracic area is exposed for surgery as for debridement of burns and split skin grafting then placement of surface electrodes for electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring is not possible. We report the intraoperative use of an old technique, oesophageal ECG (OesECG) in a child presenting for major burns surgery. The positioning of the probe, electrical safety and P-QRS morphology, are discussed.
