Abstract

A computer system has been developed for use as an information manager during cardiac surgery. This system interfaces with the patient monitor, heart-lung machine, blood gas machines, computer keyboard, and thermistor probes. The system provides continuous data collection, comprehensive visual display, and storage to a protected ASCII file. Real time data is used to update calculated parameters during surgery. Quality assurance methods include checklists, alarms, graphics capabilities, and software programs which display adherence to protocol. Statistical analysis of objective data may be completed during retrospective studies. Countless upgrades have been applied to the hardware and software, allowing the system to adapt well to the fast pace of medical and technological advances in the operating room
