Abstract

Surgical monitoring techniques detect surgical contexts, such as induction, intubation, preparation and positioning, incision, maintenance, emergence, recovery, and / or therapy administration based on information received from a patient monitor and / or other medical equipment, which can be compared to predetermined data patterns, which can be based on heuristic or statistical classifications. With detectors and / or controllers operating in conjunction therewith and in various combinations thereof, responses can also be invoked and / or also overridden.

[0001] In general, the inventive arrangements relate to patient monitoring, and more specifically, to monitoring patient data in various surgical contexts to detect surgical phases and / or surgical interventions.BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

[0002] During the course of a surgical procedure (e.g., liver transplant, heart surgery, etc.), patients are subjected to numerous surgical phases and / or interventions as part of the surgery. For example, in any given surgical procedure, these may include one or more of the following: i) induction, ii) intubation, iii) preparation and positioning, iv) incision, v) maintenance, vi) emergence, vii) recovery, and / or viii) therapy administration, etc.

[0003] These surgical phases and interventions are well-known. For example, referring in general terms, induction commonly involves administering intravenous and / or inhalational anesthetic agents to a patient in order to induce a relaxed or sleepy condition and / or relieve pain in the patient prio...
