1. A sedation and analgesia system, comprising:
- at least one patient health monitor device adapted so as to be coupled to a patient and so as to measure a patient parameter reflecting a physiological condition of the patient;
a user interface;
a drug delivery controller supplying one or more drugs to the patient;
a memory device storing a safe data set reflecting safe and undesirable parameters of at least one of said monitored patient physiological conditions; and
an electronic controller interconnected with the patient health monitor, the user interface, the drug delivery controller, and the memory device, wherein said electronic controller receives said patient parameter and analyzes trends of said patient parameter to determine whether adverse patient conditions are imminent.

Abstract
The present invention includes a sedation and analgesia system capable of gathering data from a single monitor associated with a single patient parameter in a manner that diminishes the probability of false positive alarms responses due to data artifact. The invention also includes a monitoring system that is able to detect imminent adverse patient conditions, where such conditions may be detected before an adverse patient condition actually occurs. The invention further includes methods for incorporating trend analysis into a sedation and analgesia system.

8. A method for incorporating trend analysis into a sedation and analgesia system, comprising the steps of:
-
providing a patient monitor for a patient to monitor a single patient parameter;
monitoring the patient with the monitor, wherein data collected from the monitor may be transmitted to a controller of the sedation and analgesia system;
creating a trend based on the data received from the monitor;
at least one of inputting the trend into an algorithm of the sedation and analgesia system and analyzing the trend; and
initiating suitable action based on the trend analysis. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
