Abstract

A medical operation system includes a controller for controlling a plurality of medical equipments, a communication unit for transmitting and receiving data between each of the plurality of medical equipments and the controller in two-way communications, an information recorder which records, together with time information, information regarding the plurality of medical equipments transmitted and received by the communication unit, a signal processor which extracts predetermined information from the information recorded on the information recorder and processes the predetermined information to generate time-series data, and a display output unit for visualizing the time-series data output from the signal processor and outputting the visualized time-series data to a display.

Claims

1. A medical operation system comprising:

a controller for controlling a plurality of medical equipments;

a communication unit for transmitting and receiving data between each of the plurality of medical equipments and the controller in two-way communications;

an information recorder which records, together with time information, information regarding the plurality of medical equipments transmitted and received by the communication unit;

a signal processor which extracts predetermined information from the information recorded on the information recorder and processes the predetermined information to generate time-series data; and

a display output unit for visualizing the time-series data output from the signal processor and outputting the visualized time-series data to a display.

2. The medical operation system according to claim 1, further comprising an instruction portion to be operable on a display screen of the display that receives the data output from the display output unit,

wherein the controller causes the display to display predetermined and extracted information and/or time information based on the time information at a location specified by the operation unit.

3. The medical operation system according to claim 2, wherein the controller causes the display to display other information associated with the information.

4. The medical operation system according to claim 1, further comprising a setter for setting a threshold value of a predetermined medical equipment,

wherein the controller compares the threshold value set by the setter with the predetermined extracted information, and causes the display to automatically display predetermined and extracted information and/or the time information based on the time information at a location recognized based on the comparison results.

5. The medical operation system according to claim 1, wherein the information comprises information regarding a medical equipment for use in a predetermined medical operation and patient information from a medical equipment detecting the state of a patient.

6. The medical operation system according to claim 1, wherein the time-series data comprises waveform data.

7. A medical operation system comprising a control function for controlling a plurality of medical equipments in response to a control instruction, a communication function for transmitting and receiving data between each of a plurality of medical equipments and the control function, an information recording function for recording, on a storage unit together with time information, information transmitted from and received by each of the plurality of medical equipments, a signal processing function for extracting required predetermined information from the information recorded on the storage unit and processing the predetermined information to generate time-series data which changes on time axis, and a display output function for visualizing the time-series data and outputting the visualized time-series data to a display.

8. The medical operation system according to claim 7, further comprising an operation function on a display screen of the display,

wherein the control function causes the display to display predetermined and extracted information and/or time information based on the time information at a location specified in the operation function.

9. The medical operation system according to claim 8, wherein the control function causes the display to display other information associated with the information.

10. The medical operation system according to claim 7, further comprising a setting function for setting a threshold value of a predetermined medical equipment,

wherein the control function compares the threshold value set in the setting function with the predetermined extracted information, and causes the display to automatically display predetermined and extracted information and/or the time information based on the time information at a location recognized based on the comparison results.

11. The medical operation system according to claim 7, wherein the information comprises information regarding a medical equipment for use in a predetermined medical operation and patient information from a medical equipment detecting the state of a patient.

12. The medical operation system according to claim 7, wherein the time-series data comprises waveform data.
