Computer automated total perioperative situational awareness and safety systems

Abstract From the time a patient enters the surgical arena until the time they leave, a tremendous data stream is produced. These data pass through various unrelated systems mostly going unnoticed and unrecorded. We have developed a system to integrate these various systems and display the real-time integrated data in an easy to visualize system. The system captures, records and displays data from anesthesia and surgical devices and OR/hospital information systems, consolidating information on a single operating room display. The system will provide improved contextual real-time monitoring of physiological data, real-time access to readiness information and improved patient identity management.
