Display of trends and anticipated trends from mitigation
First Claim
1. An electronic display unit configured to generate an electronic display comprising:
- a graph displaying physiological condition values versus time;
a background for the graph including at least one range which is delineated to indicate a normal range for the physiological condition values and at least a second range which is delineated to indicate an abnormal range of the physiological condition values;
an expectation range indicating an expected range of the physiological condition versus time in response to an administered medication or treatment, the expectation range being superimposed on the background; and
a marker indicative of when a medication or treatment was administered and a display of the nature of the medication.

Abstract
An electronic display (10″) includes a graph representing a magnitude of a sensed physiological condition versus time. A background behind the graph is color coded delineated, such as to depict a normal range for the physiological condition and one or more abnormal ranges. This provides instant color-coded feedback to the clinician of the meaning of the graph. When a clinician selects a medication or treatment, a database is searched to generate an expectation range (42a, 42b, 42c, 42d, 44a, 46c) depicting how the sensed physiological condition is expected to move after administration of the medication or treatment. This enables the clinician to compare treatments and, after a treatment is selected, to receive easy-to-interpret feedback as to whether the sensed physiological condition is responding as expected to the treatment.

8. A method for generating a display comprising:
-
receiving a current value of a physiological condition of a patient sensed by a patient sensor; generating a graph on an electronic display device, the generated graph representing a magnitude of the sensed physiological condition versus time; generating an expectation range for each of one or more medications or medical treatments to be administered to the patient and displaying one or more of the expectation ranges corresponding to one or more selected medications or medical treatments on the electronic display device in conjunction with the graph, each expectation range illustrating a range within which the sensed physiological condition is expected to move after administration of the selected one or more medications or medical treatments. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An apparatus for displaying sensed physiological conditions, including:
-
a database which stores medical information regarding expected responses to each of a plurality of medications and medical treatments; an operator input device by which an operator inputs into the database a selected medication or medical procedure to retrieve corresponding expectation data; an electronic monitor; an expectation range display generator which converts the data from the database into instructions for an expected range display which illustrates a range within which the sensed physiological condition is expected to move after administration of the input medication or treatment; a graphics processor which converts the instructions from the expectation range display generator into appropriate control signals for the electronic monitor to display a graph representing a sensed physiological condition versus time in conjunction with expected range of the selected medication or medical procedure. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
