Embodiment Construction

[0018] A system and method provides an integrated electrophysiology (EP) laboratory. An integrated EP lab can enhance the workflow of medical personnel. Integrated EP labs integrate two or more medical devices to enhance workflow within the EP lab. The integrated EP laboratory can be realized by software or hardware, or a combination of software and hardware. An integrated EP laboratory can provide a comprehensive stream of medical data. An integrated medical data stream may allow patient data to be individually registered in the EP laboratory, and / or allow the fusion of different types of EP-related medical data.

[0019] I. Traditional EP laboratory

[0020] FIG. 1 shows a conventional EP laboratory 100 . A conventional EP laboratory 100 may include several separate medical devices. As shown in FIG. 1, a medical device may be dedicated to x-ray fluoroscopy 110, patient monitoring 112, intracardiac echo 114, electroanatomical mapping 116, pre-interventional images 118, a...

Abstract

A system and method enhance the workflow of an electrophysiologist. A workstation may be interconnected with a number of medical devices associated with an EP lab. A user may enter patient registration data using the workstation that is subsequently sent to the medical devices. The medical devices may each perform a different electrophysiology related function and generate electrophysiology related data. The medical devices may send the data generated to the workstation. The workstation may perform operations on the data received to provide integrated results. The integrated results may include updating previously stored patient data and images or combining the data received to provide more detailed information and / or enhanced images. The integrated results may include displaying images and data from a number of medical devices on a display screen simultaneously. The workstation may generate a unified patient report based upon the data received from the medical devices.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to medical devices. The invention particularly relates to medical equipment associated with electrophysiology labs. Background technique [0002] An electrophysiological (EP) study of the heart is the analysis of the heart's electrical conductance system (normal or abnormal). EP studies aim to identify the cause of heart rate disturbances and determine appropriate treatment options. The test uses a cardiac catheter and a computer to generate electrical measurements taken from the ventricle and an electrocardiogram (EKG) recording. [0003] EP studies may be performed solely for diagnostic purposes. EP studies can also be performed in conjunction with therapeutic procedures (such as catheter removal) to pinpoint the exact location of electrical signals (cardiac mapping). EP studies are performed in dedicated electrophysiology (EP) laboratories in a clinical setting controlled by cardiologists and nurses who sp...
