Each patient monitoring unit is operable to monitor at least one physiological parameter of a patient. The battery charging module charges the patient monitoring units through the ports. The storage device stores data received from the patient monitoring units through the ports. The processor transmits updates to the patient monitoring units through the ports. The ports may comprise sockets that receive plugs from cables of the patient monitoring units. The docking apparatus may comprise a plurality of separate dock housings associated with corresponding patient monitoring units. These dock housings being joined together in a daisy chain. The docking apparatus may also include a plurality of docking recesses in a single housing, with each docking recess being associated with a corresponding patient monitoring unit.

A medical system includes a monitoring unit and a drug delivery unit. The monitoring unit is operable to monitor at least one physiological parameter of a patient. The drug delivery unit includes an integral volume of a drug. A control logic is in communication with the monitoring unit and is operable to regulate delivery of the drug to the patient from the integral volume, based on data associated with the at least one physiological parameter of the patient, in accordance with a safety shell control algorithm. A user interface feature is operable to receive input indicating a stage of progress in a medical procedure. The safety shell control algorithm responds to inputs received through the user interface feature indicating a stage of progress in a medical procedure, such as by modifying subsequent drug delivery regulation based on the beginning or completion of a stage of progress in a medical procedure.

A medical system includes a sedation system and a central station in communication with the sedation system. The sedation system includes a monitoring unit and a drug delivery unit. The monitoring unit is operable to monitor at least one physiological parameter of a patient. The drug delivery unit is operable to deliver drugs to the patient based on data from the monitoring unit. The central station is operable to store patient related data and access a plurality of sedation systems. The central station may remotely control drug delivery through sedation systems, remotely provide voice instructions through sedation systems, display video feeds from sedation systems, respond to queries from sedation systems, and/or provide other functionalities. The system may also include an instrument that is operable to perform surgical and/or therapeutic procedures on the patient. The sedation system may provide power to the instrument and/or otherwise communicate with the instrument.

A first drug delivery system includes first and second drug-container holders and first and second pump assemblies. The first (second) holder is adapted to receive a first (second) drug container having a first (a different second) dimensioned shape but not a second (first) drug container having a different second (a first) dimensioned shape. A second drug delivery system includes first and second bar code scanners, first and second drug-container holders, and first and second pump assemblies. The first (second) holder is adapted to receive a first (second) drug container having a dimensioned shape and to orient a positioned first (second) bar code of the first (second) drug container to face the first (second) bar code scanner because of the dimensioned shape. In one application, the first drug is a sedative drug, the second drug is an analgesic drug, and the drugs are used during a conscious sedation medical procedure.

An air-bubble-monitoring medication assembly includes a drug infusion subassembly having a tube for administering therein a liquid to a patient, a bubble-size determinator which is positioned to sense an air bubble entrained in the liquid in the tube and which determines the volume of the air bubble, and an analyzer. The analyzer logs the time the detector senses an air bubble and the volume of the air bubble, calculates a running sum of a total air volume of all air bubbles sensed over a time interval, compares the running sum with a preselected limit, and generates an output when the running sum exceeds the preselected limit. The medical system additionally includes a controller assembly which determines a delivery schedule for administering the liquid and which controls the drug infusion subassembly to administer the liquid in accordance with the determined delivery schedule. The method performs the analyzer functions.

摘要:
Disclosed is an interface between a drug delivery cassette and a medical effector system. The cassette may be mounted to the medical effector system in such a way that a fluid tube located on the cassette is positioned adjacent to a pump located on the medical effector system. The medical effector system may purge the fluid line of air by activating the pump and forcing fluid through the fluid line until a sensor positioned to monitor the fluid line indicates that fluid and not air is present in the tube. To prevent air purging of the fluid tube when connected to the patient, the medical effector system prohibits air purging unless the drug delivery end portion of the fluid tube is in a designated storage site located on the cassette. This is accomplished with a position sensor at the storage site that monitors the position of the fluid tube.

A medical system includes a muscular-tension-measuring device and a drug delivery assembly. The muscular-tension-measuring device is operatively connectable to a patient and includes a device output having a device output signal which varies with involuntary changes in muscular tension of the patient. The drug delivery assembly is operatively connectable to the patient for controllably delivering at least one drug to the patient. In one implementation, the device output signal varies with involuntary changes in muscular tension of the patient caused by pain and/or anxiety. In one employment, drug delivery is varied by a controller or a user based at least on variations in the device output signal. A method for conscious sedation of a patient includes measuring muscular tension of the patient and includes varying delivery of a conscious sedation drug to the patient based at least on variations in the measured muscular tension of the patient.

A medical system includes a display monitor and a medical unit. The medical unit is adapted to measure a physiological parameter of a patient. The medical unit is adapted to wirelessly connect to the display monitor, wherein the display monitor is adapted to display the physiological parameter. In one implementation of the medical system, the medical unit is adapted to automatically wirelessly connect to the display monitor when the medical unit is brought into proximity with the display monitor. In one illustration of the medical system, the physiological parameter is a pulse rate of the patient.
