Central station waveform display having dedicated user message areas

摘要

A method and apparatus for displaying physiological signals acquired from a patient in a manner that allows for reliably associating with the physiological signals (40-46) acquired from the patient user generated message information (48-54). The method comprises the steps of, receiving at a central station (28) physiological signals acquired from a patient; and arranging a display portion of the central station to have at least one first display area (40-46) dedicated for displaying said physiological signals, and at least one second display area (48-54), located adjacent said first display area, dedicated for displaying a user generated message related to the physiological signals displayed in said first area. <IMAGE>
