Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for remote anesthesia monitoring. For example, anesthesia status information may be automatically collected from the operating room and delivered to a specialized application executed by the anesthesiologist's mobile device. This allows for increased patient safety as the current model depends on the nurse anesthetist or physician assistant to call the supervising anesthesiologist when a problem is perceived. Through the use of remote monitoring, both the medical doctor and the anesthetist are now intimately involved in patient care, as compared to current situations where the medical doctor may be only peripherally involved.
