Perfusion monitoring and control system

A system for monitoring and controlling patient parameters of a patient during a medical procedure using a heart/lung machine system, the system comprising:

• the heart/lung machine system comprising:
• an extracorporeal blood circuit including:
• (i) a venous catheter for removing blood from the patient, (ii) an oxygenator for adding oxygen to the blood and removing carbon dioxide from the blood, and (iii) an aortic cannula for returning the blood to the patient;
• and
• one or more pumps for propelling the blood through the extracorporeal blood circuit and back to the patient during the medical procedure;
• a data store for storing:
• (i) patient parameters that indicate an actual physiologic status of the patient and that are measured in real-time during the medical procedure, and (ii) semi-autonomous parameter trending response adjustments;
• a user device comprising a display screen configured to output actual measurements of the patient parameters as the patient parameters are measured in real-time during the medical procedure,
• wherein the user device is also configured to output a first graphical user interface (GUI) display on the display screen of the user device before each performance of the medical procedure and to receive for a particular patient, via the first GUI display before each performance of the medical procedure, user input establishing parameter settings for the particular patient that include:
• (i) ranges for each of the patient parameters and (ii) the semi-autonomous parameter trending response adjustments for one or more of the patient parameters,
• wherein the semi-autonomous parameter trending response adjustments are executable during the medical procedure in response to a user selection of an option presented via the display screen of the user device, and
• wherein the option is determined and presented based on the real-time measurements of the patient parameters that are measured during the medical procedure;
• and
• a computer system for monitoring and controlling, in real-time during the medical procedure, the patient parameters, the computer system configured to:
• receive, from the user device before each performance of the medical procedure, the user input establishing the parameter settings for the particular patient that include the ranges for each of the patient parameters and including the semi-autonomous parameter trending response adjustments for the one or more of the patient parameters;
• automatically determine one or more suggested parameter adjustments that are automatically determined during the medical procedure based on:
• (i) the patient parameters that indicate the actual physiologic status of the particular patient and that are measured in real-time during the medical procedure and (ii) the user input of the semi-autonomous parameter trending response adjustments for the one or more of the patient parameters that was received before the medical procedure;
• generate, based on the user input indicating the parameter settings, a second GUI display to be outputted by the display screen of the user device during the medical procedure, wherein the second GUI display provides a display of:
• (i) the patient parameters that indicate the actual physiologic status of the particular patient and that are measured in real-time during the medical procedure,
• (ii) controls for a user to adjust one or more of the ranges for each of the displayed patient parameters,
• (iii) the one or more suggested parameter adjustments, and
• (iv) one or more user-selectable controls for the user to instruct the computer system to execute the one or more suggested parameter adjustments;
• generate projected future trends of the patient parameters based on the real-time measurements of the patient parameters that are measured during the medical procedure;
• update the second GUI display to display the projected future trends;
• transmit the updated second GUI display to the user device to be outputted by the display screen of the user device;
• receive, from the user device, user input indicating a selection by the user of the one or more user-selectable controls to instruct the computer system to execute one or more of the one or more suggested parameter adjustments;
• and
• execute, in response to the user input, the one or more suggested parameter adjustments that was selected by the user via the user input.
