Control of anaesthetic protocol using sampled values

摘要

An anaesthetic protocol system has a number of vital parameters, such as blood pressure, heart rate, monitored (MDn) in real-time and fed over an interface (IF1,2) to a database (DB1). A real-time characteristic indicating trends is established and stored in memory. The memory operates on a ring cycle, such that the oldest cycle is overwritten by the latest. Snap-shots of sections of the characteristic can be obtained and entered into a second memory (DB2) for examination and use.
