Balanced physiological monitoring and treatment system
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring and controlling a physiological condition of a patient, comprising:
- at least one physiological parameter monitor adapted to monitor at least one physiological parameter of a patient;
a control device operably connected to said at least one physiological parameter monitor, said control device having adaptive control logic for adaptive optimization of patient-specific sensitivity to dosage by monitoring, receiving and storing physiological parameter data from said physiological parameter monitor and translating said physiological parameter data into an output control signal containing information regarding administration of at least two counterbalancing medications; and
a multi-channeled delivery mechanism operably connected to said control device, said delivery mechanism capable of receiving said output control signal from said control device,said multi-channeled delivery mechanism being structured to infuses said at least two counterbalancing medications into the patient based on said information contained in said output control signal to adaptively stabilize and balance said physiological parameter of the patient,wherein said patient-specific sensitivity to dosage of at least one of said at least two counterbalancing medications is analyzed by calculating a localized patient-specific sensitivity to at least one of said at least two medications, said localized patient-specific sensitivity calculated by comparing a measured rate of change in said physiological parameter to an expected rate of change in said physiological parameter.

Abstract
A system and method for providing balanced, automated regulation of a patient'"'"'s physiological condition by monitoring at least one physiological parameter and, optionally, monitoring and controlling additional physiological parameters, is disclosed. The system includes a physiological parameter monitor, an intelligent control device and a multi-channel delivery device for providing controlled intravenous delivery of at least two medications that affect the physiological condition being controlled. Control logic in the intelligent control device is derived by an algorithm based on model predictive control. The control logic includes mathematically modeled systems, empirical data systems or a combination thereof. The system of the present invention is optionally included in a networked system to provide centralized data storage and archival of system information as well as data export and query capabilities that can be used for patient file management, health care facility management and medical research.
