A monitoring device is arranged to acquire signals indicating a level of consciousness and an arterial blood pressure value, and to display images showing the level of consciousness over time and the hemodynamic parameters of a patient for simultaneous viewing. The consciousness signal may be a biopotential signal, such as EEG. A dependence of changes in the hemodynamic parameters of the patient on the level of consciousness of the patient may be more easily observed using the monitoring device. Correlations between the patient's level of consciousness and the patient's hemodynamic parameters may further be determined and displayed to aid clinicians in estimating any improvement in hemodynamic parameters that may be achieved through manipulation of the patient's level of consciousness, fluid status and drugs. One alternative embodiment displays values of the level of consciousness superimposed over hemodynamic parameter images, whilst another records the values as a series of data sets. |
