1. In a multi-patient monitoring environment having a plurality of patient monitoring devices in communication with one or more clinician monitoring stations, a method of storing streaming physiological information obtained from a medical patient, the method comprising:
- by a computer system comprising computer hardware;
receiving identification information from a patient monitor over a network, the patient monitor comprising one or more processors operative to process physiological data obtained from one or more sensors coupled to a medical patient and generate a corresponding data stream at a predetermined data rate;
in response to receiving the identification information, retrieving parameter descriptors corresponding to the patient monitor based at least partly on the identification information, each parameter descriptor operative to identify a parameter measurable by the patient monitor and the predetermined data rate;
creating a round-robin database (RRDB) file comprising a header, the header comprising the parameter descriptors;
receiving the data stream from the patient monitor; and
storing the physiological data in records of the RRDB file.

Abstract
A method of storing streaming physiological information obtained from a medical patient in a multi-patient monitoring environment includes receiving identification information, retrieving parameter descriptors, creating a round-robin database file, receiving a data stream, and using a predetermined data rate to map the data stream to locations in the round-robin database file.

20. A system for storing streaming physiological information obtained from a medical patient, the system comprising:
-
a network management module operative to; receive identification information from a patient monitor over a network, the patient monitor comprising one or more processors operative to process physiological data obtained from one or more sensors coupled to a medical patient and generate a corresponding data stream data at a predetermined data rate; and receive the data stream from the patient monitor, the data stream, comprising parameter descriptors operative to identify the physiological data; a round-robin database (RRDB) component operative to, in response to receiving the identification information from the network management module; receive the data stream from the patient monitor; create an RRDB file comprising a header, the header comprising the parameter descriptors; and use the predetermined data rate to map the data stream to locations in the RRDB file. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22)

23. In a multi-patient monitoring environment having a plurality of patient monitoring devices in communication with one or more clinician monitoring stations, a method of retrieving a stream of continuous physiological information associated with a physiological condition of a medical patient stored in a round-robin database, the method comprising:
-
providing identification information with a remote retrieval device over a network, the identification information comprising a patient identifier, a physiological parameter, and a review period; receiving a continuous stream of data corresponding to the physiological parameter during the review period of a medical patient associated with the patient identifier; displaying the continuous stream of data as a waveform on a display of the remote retrieval device. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
