Benefits of technology

[0007]The object of the present invention is therefore to provide an improved device for supporting the user in charge of treating the patient.

Problems solved by technology

Other adjustments, for example, the adjustment of the alarm settings, are often neglected because of the complicated and uncomfortable operation.
This may lead to undesired behavior of the device.
However, dangerous situations may occur as well, because important interactions, such as reactivation of the alarms of hemodynamic monitoring after the termination of the operation of the heart-lung machine, were forgotten or were not executed for other reasons.
Thus, the insufficient technical support does not prevent erroneous human behavior, which represents a considerable safety risk.
This makes it difficult to improve quality by means of standardized procedures.

Embodiment Construction

[0033]Referring to the drawings in particular, FIG. 1 shows an example of an integrated workstation 1 for treating a patient from anesthesia. The anesthesia apparatus 3 as the core of the workstation 1 is technically linked with additional devices such as a patient monitor 5, drug pumps 7, a documentation system 9, a control interface 11 and other components.

[0034]FIG. 2 shows an example of consecutive phases of an anesthesia with a phase transition each between them. The phases “induction”2, “maintenance”4 and “emergence”6 can be further divided into more detailed process steps such as “premedication”8, “intubation”10, “wash-in”12, “instrumentalization”16, “wash-out”18 and “extubation”20. They may optionally also be complemented with processes such as transfer of the patient from one operating room into another, the switching on of a heart-lung machine (HLM) 14, FIG. 3, and the like.

[0035]FIG. 3 shows an example of a “phase indicator and phase transition” interface. User interactio...

Abstract

A device (13) is provided for use with a treatment device for treating a patient. The device (13) includes a detection device (17) for detecting at least one transition of the patient's treatment from a first phase of treatment to a second phase of treatment. A signal device (25) for sending at least one signal when the transition is detected. It proposes, furthermore, a workstation equipped herewith.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 of German Patent Application DE 10 2008 034 243.3 filed Jul. 23, 2008, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention pertains to a device for use with a treatment device for treating a patient pertains as well as to a workstation with a plurality of treating devices and / or monitoring devices for the treatment and / or monitoring of the patient.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Modern workstations for the treatment of patients, for example, in the area of anesthesia, intensive care or neonatology, are known from practice. These workstations are characterized by high requirements imposed on the integration of devices used simultaneously or with one another. Thus, a number of devices, such as patient monitors, drug pumps, documentation systems and others are regularly connected functionally into one integra...
