Apparatuses and methods for outputting data from a sedation and analgesia system
First Claim
1. A sedation and analgesia system comprising:
- a patient health monitor device adapted so as to be coupled to a patient and generate a signal reflecting at least one physiological condition of the patient;
a drug delivery controller supplying one or more drugs to the patient;
a memory device storing a safety data set reflecting safe and undesirable parameters of at least one monitored patient physiological condition;
an electronic controller interconnected between the patient health monitor, the drug delivery controller and the memory device storing the safety data set;
wherein said electronic controller receives said signal and in response manages the application of the drugs in accord with the safety data set; and
a printing system for outputting one or more of system state information and patient state information, wherein the printing system is interconnected with the electronic controller such that the electronic controller manages the output of the printing system.

Abstract
The present invention comprises a printer system integral with a sedation and analgesia system having the capability to display data at spaced intervals, such as, for example, every five minutes, where the data in the previous five minutes is averaged in order to minimize the spurious impact of artifacts on the printed record. The present invention further comprises a printer system integral with a sedation and analgesia system that, upon request, prints a detailed, real time graphical display of critical parameters regarding a patient'"'"'s physiology. The printer may be used with a brief memory from which an operator may request information that may have already exited an associated visual output device.

12. A method of operating a sedation and analgesia system comprising the steps of:
-
connecting to a patient a drug delivery device having a drug delivery controller supplying one or more drugs, said drug delivery controller being coupled to an electronic controller which controls the delivery of the drugs to the patient;
attaching at least one patient health monitor device to a patient, which health monitor device generates a value reflecting at least one physiological condition of a patient and is coupled to said electronic controller;
accessing a memory device which stores a safety data set reflecting parameters of at least one patient physiological condition;
delivering the drugs to the patient in accord with the safety data set; and
printing one or more of system state information and patient state information. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
