Configuration method for an anesthesia protocol system
First Claim
1. An anesthesia protocol system configuration method of displaying on a screen an anesthesia protocol image and/or printout form of an anesthesia protocol, the screen display as well as the printout form being determinable by an operator, the method resulting in plural parameters including a vital patient parameter and/or a medication parameter and/or a parameter for adjusting anesthesia gas and/or a parameter of an anesthesia machine being combined in a manner which can be defined by the operator so the screen display and/or the printout of the anesthesia protocol is obtained, the method comprising:
- a) selecting a configuration name for each desired configuration;
b) selecting one or more parameters from said plural parameters and combining the selected parameters to form one or more groups containing the parameters of interest;
c) assigning selected ones of the formed groups to predefined segments on the screen display and/or the printout to define the screen display and/or the printout of the anesthesia protocol;
d) repeating steps b) and c) for each configuration taken into account, and each time selecting a configuration name for each configuration; and
e) selecting the desired screen display and/or the desired printout of the anesthesia protocol by the operator using the configuration name.

Abstract
Vital parameters of patient and medication parameters are automatically combined to form anesthetic protocols. A multi-step configuration method facilitates anesthesia protocol system reconfiguration. All the groups which may be taken into account for a possible future reproduction of the anesthesia protocol are first defined by combining parameters to form a group. A configuration name is assigned to each group. In a subsequent step, each anesthesia protocol segment has one of the groups assigned to it. The steps of forming the groups and assigning the groups to segments are repeated for each configuration. In a subsequent on-line mode of the anesthesia protocol system, the operator reconfigures the system by using the configuration name.
