Abstract: A computer assisted sedation system and methods for use by a non-anesthetist procedural physician comprising an electronic controller for a drug infusion system for infusing a sedative, analgesic and/or amnestic drug to a patient having data monitors for determining the patient' physiological data and transmitting same to the controller for determining whether the patient's physiological condition is normal and if not, for signaling an alarm and providing instructions to a non-anesthesiologiest procedural physician to return the patient to a normal condition.

Abstract: Disclosed are various methods and devices for facilitating medical and/or procedures that are performed without “general anesthesia,” which is also described in the specification as the state of patient “unconsciousness” resulting from a drug administered by an anesthetist or anesthesiologist. The devices safely and effectively provide and maintain drug infusions that do not push the patient into unconsciousness and/or general anesthesia. Devices according to embodiments of the invention include the use of stored parameters and/or values that correlate to drug delivery during a procedure, and a patient health monitor to measure and send signals regarding a patient health condition to a processor or other computational device.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a user interface for systems and methods for sedation and analgesia delivery. The user interface receives input from a user of a sedation and analgesia delivery system and relays information regarding the system, the administration of sedation and analgesia, physiological conditions to the user in a context sensitive manner. The information relayed may be displayed to the user on a touch sensitive screen or multi-layer display device. The display may be segregated geographically or may be color coded on the display device where the geographic location and/or color of the displayed information relates further information to the user.

Abstract: The invention provides a fail-safe module (FSM) integral with a sedation and analgesia system that meets the high-reliability needs of sedation and/or analgesia delivered by non-anesthetist practitioners. The FSM may operate in “real-time” in order to ensure optimal patient safety. The FSM may deactivate specific patient interfaces, user interfaces, and/or sedation and analgesia delivery in order to ensure patient safety and has redundant safety systems in order to provide the fail-safe module with an accurate assessment of controller functionality.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a sedation and analgesia system having integrated patient monitoring and drug delivery, where information related to monitored patient parameters and drug delivery is accessible and controllable from a remote location. Information relative to monitored patient parameters and drug delivery may be provided in real-time or near real-time, to an attending nurse, physician, insurance company, billing department, or other suitable party according to the present invention via a computing device, video monitor, over the Internet, over an intranet, or by any other suitable means of transmitting and displaying critical data. The present invention further comprises an integrated in-room monitor, where data related to critical patient parameters and drug delivery may be integrated with other means of communicating data related to a patient, a procedure, or a medical device.

Abstract: A product and method for implementing and maintaining a “medical food” program for a patient having special nutrient needs in which a medical food is prescribed for said patient and for facilitating the required ongoing supervision of said patient and evaluation of the effectiveness of the prescription, the product comprising software permitting input of basic patient data, said method to include the input of basic patient information, the prescription and repeated input of physiological factors permitting review, supervision and evaluation of the effectiveness of the prescribed medical food.

Abstract: A sedation delivery system comprised of a bedside unit and a procedure unit. The bedside unit contains a series of connection points for receiving inputs from a series of patient monitors. The procedure unit contains a patient monitoring and a drug delivery pump or magnetic flux generator capable of sedative therapy to a patient. The sedation delivery system contains the capability to issue and receive a request from a non-sedated patient, issue and receive a request from a sedated patient and then to calculate a time difference. The sedation delivery system program operates the pump or magnetic flux generator based upon at least some of the patient outputs and program inputs including a calculated time difference. A removable umbilical cable connects the two units and allows the output of the patient monitors as well as other information to travel between the two units.

Abstract: The present invention includes a sedation and analgesia system capable of gathering data from a single monitor associated with a single patient parameter in a manner that diminishes the probability of false positive alarms responses due to data artifact. The invention also includes a monitoring system that is able to detect imminent adverse patient conditions, where such conditions may be detected before an adverse patient condition actually occurs. The invention further includes methods for incorporating trend analysis into a sedation and analgesia system.
