Abstract :
A specialized facility, using automatic techniques, has been developed to facilitate the relatively complex and very time-consuming procedures involved in comprehensive physiological monitoring and routine treatment of critically ill patients. This unit, which is provided with a medium-size digital computer system, is operated by an interdisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, technicians, engineers and computer scientists.
