Abstract

The disclosure generally relates to a patient monitoring and display system. The system allows a clinician to trigger the occurrence of a clinical event, and record a patient'"'"'s status following the clinical event. The system calculates and displays a change in a patient'"'"'s status resulting from the clinical event. The system allows multiple parameters to be tracked and displayed on a single screen. The system can also display various animated organs, such as a heart or a lung, corresponding to an operation of the organs in the patient.

Claims

1-40. -40. (canceled)

41. A method of monitoring a patient'"'"'s status in response to a clinical event, comprising:

receiving, at a processor, a first value of a physiological parameter at a first time;

receiving, at the processor, a second value of the physiological parameter at a second time after the first time;

receiving, at the processor, an indication that a clinical event occurred at a third time between the first time and the second time;

receiving, at the processor, a third value of the physiological parameter at the third time;

calculating, at the processor, a change in the physiological parameter based on the clinical event using the second value and the third value; and

displaying, on a display device, the change in the physiological parameter, and a reference point indicating the third time.
