Method used

Generally speaking, the medical instrument signal display part can use different colors to represent different numerical ranges, for example, represent that numerical value has exceeded normal numerical range with red numeral, represent numerical value in critical range with yellow numeral Range, that is, between normal and abnormal value ranges, with green numbers representing values ​​within the normal value range. When the medical instrument signal displays red numbers, it means that the medical instrument has detected abnormal data. At this time, the medical instrument can alarm to remind the medical staff to immediately pay attention to the actual condition of the monitored patient and make a decision. Respond accordingly, rescue when necessary, and avoid danger. Therefore, as long as the color analysis and processing module detects that the value displayed by the medical instrument is red, it can know that the medical instrument is in an alarm state. Of course, different instruments and equipment from different manufacturers can also use other colors than the above-mentioned color coding method to represent the alarm state or normal state. Therefore, the output result of the color analysis and processing module can be changed by adjusting the working parameters of the color analysis and processing module, so as to adapt to different color coding methods of different instruments and equipment from different manufacturers.

The centralized monitoring controller 300 can also perform different display processing on the image signals obtained from the image sensor 100 according to different importance levels of the image signals: for example, the important image signals are enlarged and displayed, and the ordinary image signals are displayed in a reduced size; Important image signals can be image signals with alarms, while common image signals can be image signals without alarms; important image signals can also be highlighted with backgrounds of different colors or borders of different colors or thicknesses show. In order to allow nurses or doctors to easily see the state of the patient in the alarm bed and the medical instruments used by the patient, accurate judgment and processing can be made in the shortest time.
[0041] Further, the centralized monitoring controller 300 includes a color analysis and processing module, and the color analysis and processing module is used to perform color analysis and processing on the display screen image of the medical instrument used by the patient to be monitored obtained from the image sensor, and according to the processing result and each The color setting information of the display screen of a medical instrument is used to monitor the alarm status of the medical instrument used by the patient to be monitored.
[0042] Generally speaking, the signal display part of medical instruments will use different colors to represent different ranges of values. For example, red numbers are used to represent values ​​that have exceeded the normal range of values, and yellow numbers are used to represent values ​​that are in the critical range, that is, Between the normal and abnormal value range, the green number represents the value within the normal value range. When the medical instrument signal displays a red number, it means that the medical instrument detects abnormal data. At this time, the medical instrument can alarm, so as to prompt the medical staff to immediately pay attention to the actual condition of the monitored patient, and make Respond accordingly, rescue when necessary, and avoid danger. Therefore, as long as the color analysis and processing module detects that the value displayed by the medical instrument is red, it can know that the medical instrument is in an alarm state. Of course, different instruments and equipment from different manufacturers can also use different color coding methods to represent the alarm state or normal state with other colors.
