Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for remote anesthesia monitoring. For example, anesthesia status information may be automatically collected from the operating room and delivered to a specialized application executed by the anesthesiologist's mobile device. This allows for increased patient safety as the current model depends on the nurse anesthetist or physician assistant to call the supervising anesthesiologist when a problem is perceived. Through the use of remote monitoring, both the medical doctor and the anesthetist are now intimately involved in patient care, as compared to current situations where the medical doctor may be only peripherally involved.
Claims20
A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a program executable in at least one computing device, comprising:
- code that receives vital signs for a plurality of patients in a plurality of operating rooms of a medical facility, individual ones of the patients undergoing anesthesia;
- code that generates a first user interface facilitating a user selection of one of the patients or one of the operating rooms;
- and
- code that generates a second user interface encoding a plurality of vital signs for a corresponding one of the patients in response to the user selection.
A system, comprising:
- a mobile computing device;
- and
- an anesthesia monitoring remote client executed by the mobile computing device, the anesthesia monitoring remote client comprising:
- logic that renders, upon a display, a selectable listing of a plurality of operating rooms;
- logic that requests, from another computing device, current status information for a patient associated with a selected one of the operating rooms and undergoing anesthesia;
- and
- logic that renders, upon the display, a plurality of vital signs for the patient undergoing anesthesia in response to receiving the current status information.
A method, comprising:
- determining, by a computing device, an anesthesia schedule of a physician, the anesthesia schedule indicating a plurality of patients in a plurality of operating rooms in a medical facility who are to receive anesthesia administered under supervision of the physician;
- authenticating, by the computing device, the physician at a mobile client;
- generating, by the computing device, a first user interface that facilitates an operating room selection by the physician, the first user interface generated based at least in part on the anesthesia schedule;
- and
- generating, by the computing device, a second user interface that includes a plurality of vital signs for a patient undergoing anesthesia in a particular operating room selected by the physician via the first user interface.
