  • Publication number: 20060287887
    Abstract: The present invention is a system and method of pre-delivery drug identification. The system and method is implemented where drugs are being administered, such as in a hospital or clinic, and identifies the drug being administered to the patient before the drug reaches the patient. The system and method may utilize a sensor used for other physiologic monitoring to identify the drug. After identification, the system and method is configured to cross-reference the identified drug with the patient's prescription and allergy information, and to prevent delivery to the patient, if necessary. The system and method also utilizes data collected from the patient with a physiological monitor or a ventilator sensor to further determine whether the drug is appropriate for the patient. The method and system may also include an override system for medical personnel. The method described may be carried out by a software application.

  • Publication number: 20060058660
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for synchronizing the hemodynamic measurements from a patient monitoring system and the ultrasound images from an ultrasound monitoring system. The synchronized images and measurements can be combined and displayed on a single display that includes both the ultrasound images and the hemodynamic patient measurements. The combined display receives synchronized information from both the ultrasound monitoring system and the hemodynamic patient monitoring system and displays the combined information on a single monitor. In addition to displaying the synchronized combined information, the system stores the synchronized information for later playback. The playback of the stored images and measurements is synchronized such that the clinician can be presented with the combined information in a usable manner.
