Abstract
Computerized patient charting and trended data acquisition are becoming important elements of respiratory and intensive care. Continuous, remote monitoring of a patient's respiratory functions is now accessible with automated data acquisition systems. The system described in this article features real-time data collection from up to eight ventilators, automated patient charting, graphic trending, and configurable modes for viewing graphic trends. These features provide practitioners with continuous graphic presentations of ventilator data, which allows for better recording and understanding of each patient's respiratory progress.
