1. A method in a computer for monitoring data of a patient and processing said patient data is display processors for selectively displaying said patient data, the method comprising the steps of:

  • storing a multiplicity of switching combinations in a storage field;

    sensing data corresponding to vital signals of the patient with a plurality of sensors;

    storing the data in trend memories connected to respective ones of the sensors of collecting a plurality of sets of data with each one of the sets of data relating to one of the vital signs;

    selecting a specific one of the switching combinations with an image selection switch connected to the storage field and placing the selected switching combination in an active memory;

    configuring a switching matrix, connected to said active memory and to said trend memories, in response to said selected switching combination to select particular ones of said sets of data for a particular organ or organ system;

    processing the particular ones of said sets of data for said particular organ or organ system in said display processors, which are connected to said switching matrix, for display with respect to said particular organ or organ system and providing an output indicative of a desired display format for said particular organ or organ system; and

    selectively connecting the display processors to at least one of a plurality of display fields with a coordinating switch for displaying said display format.
