Intensive care information graphical display
First Claim
1. A method of graphically displaying patient information to a clinician on a display, comprising the steps of:
- gathering clinical patient data from patient monitoring equipment;
inputting static patient data representing characteristics of the patient;
storing said clinical patient data and said static patient in a database;
processing said clinical patient data and said static patient data to determine values of derived patient parameters indicative of the patient'"'"'s physical condition;
displaying said derived patient parameters;
accepting simulated changes to said clinical patient data from a clinician;
determining anticipated changes to said derived patient parameters caused by said simulated changes to said clinical patient data; and
displaying the anticipated changes to said derived patient parameters, whereby the relationships among the derived patient parameters may be determined by changes in displayed values of said derived patient parameters.

Abstract
This invention describes a patient monitoring system which creates graphical displays of various pulmonary and other patient functions so that physicians and clinicians can quickly and accurately make decisions about the patient'"'"'s care based on the graphical displays while in the intensive care unit. Patient functions are monitored and pulmonary models are implemented to graphically reveal relationships between the basic information input to the system from monitoring devices and the models so that physicians can utilize the revealed relationships to make informed accurate diagnoses and design therapeutic plans concerning the patient.

6. A monitoring system which graphically displays patient information to a clinician, comprising:
-
a patient database; at least one patient monitor which gathers clinical patient data from the patient and stores said clinical patient data in said database; an input device which inputs static patient data representing characteristics of the patient into said database; a processor which processes said clinical patient data and said static patient data to determine values of derived patient parameters indicative of the patient'"'"'s physical condition; a graphical display which displays said derived patient parameters; and an input interface which accepts simulated changes to said clinical patient data from a clinician, wherein said processor determines anticipated changes to said derived patient parameters caused by said simulated changes to said clinical patient data and provides the changed derived patient parameters to said display whereby the relationships among the derived patient parameters may be determined by the indicated changes in said derived patient parameters. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
