Hello everybody ! I´m working in Germany in anesthesiology. When the patient arrives before the surgery we start monitoring ( bloodpressure, ekg, o2- satiety and a needle in the patients vein). How can i explain this to english speaking patients? Is it correct to say : "I´m going to start monitoring...?/ I do EKG...etc" ? What is the common way to say it in English? Kind regards and thank you for your help!
