Modular patient monitor

摘要

A modular patient monitor has a docking station configured to accept a handheld monitor. The docking station has standalone patient monitoring functionality with respect to a first set of parameters. At least some of the first parameter set are displayed simultaneously on a full-sized screen integrated with the docking station. The handheld monitor also has standalone patient monitoring functionality with respect to a second set of parameters. At least some of the second set of parameters are displayed simultaneously on a handheld-sized screen integrated with the handheld monitor. The docking station has a port configured to accept the handheld monitor. While the handheld monitor is docket in the port, the docking station functionally combines the first set of parameters and the second set of parameters, and at least some of the combined first and second sets of parameters are displayed simultaneously on the full-sized screen.

主权项

1. A modular patient monitor comprising:
a docking station having a housing, the docking station including an integrated first display, a docking station processor, and a handheld port, the docking station processor configured to provide patient monitoring functionality with respect to a first set of physiological parameters; and a handheld monitor removably attachable both mechanically and electrically to the docking station via the handheld port, the handheld monitor including a second display and a handheld monitor processor, the second display having a display area smaller than the first display, the handheld monitor processor configured to provide patient monitoring functionality with respect to a second set of physiological parameters, wherein if the handheld monitor is not docked to the docking station:
the docking station processor is configured to cause at least some measurements of the first set of physiological parameters to be displayed on the first display, andthe handheld monitor processor is configured to cause at least some measurements of the second set of physiological parameters to be displayed on the second display including a numerical portion at a first display size and a waveform portion extending through a first time period, wherein, in response to the handheld monitor being docked to the docking station:
the handheld monitor processor is configured to automatically transmit measurements of the second set of physiological parameters to the docking station processor,the docking station processor is configured to automatically cause at least some measurements of the second set of physiological parameters to be displayed on the first display including the waveform portion extending through a second time period longer than the first time period, andthe handheld monitor processor is configured to automatically cause the second display to display at least the numerical portion at a second display size larger than the first display size, and remove the waveform portion from the second display.
