The visual analog scale in the immediate postoperative period: intrasubject variability and correlation with a numeric scale.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The arterial pulse oximeter, which was introduced clinically in the 1970s, is a convenient, useful, and now ubiquitous anesthesia monitor. Unfortunately, although percent saturation of arterial hemoglobin is, along with cardiac output and concentration of hemoglobin, one of 3 components of oxygen delivery, i...
