[A computer-assisted monitoring system in intensive care units (author's transl)]. / Kontinuierliche Uberwachung kardiopulmonaler Parameter bei Patienten nach schwerem Polytrauma. Mikrocomputergestützte Patientenüberwachungsanlage in der Intensivmedizin.

ABSTRACT

A microprocessor-based monitoring system is described which is currently being evaluated at out hospital. The microprocessor is capable of processing data from 32 channels from the patient's monitoring system as well as practically unlimited data from manual keyboard entries. At present 20 vital cardiopulmonary parameters are calculated in patients in the shock state (real time calculation).
