Abstract :
An integrated heart surgery system is under development. The system is the successor of two previous custom-built generations of automatic charting systems for the anesthetist and the perfusionist during heart surgery. The system can be used to collect, present and archive all important physiological parameters, the medical events and the medical, and administrative data. Janus offers multiple views on the data collected during an operation. By configuration a view for the anesthetist as well as a view for the perfusionist can be created. The system is connected to the monitoring system, our custom-built heart-lung system and the servo ventilators. It includes access to the hospital information system, and the departmental information systems of the Thoraxcenter. The first preliminary version of this system will be introduced in our operation rooms in the fall/winter of 1996.
