Abstract

Vital parameters of patient and medication parameters are automatically combined to form anesthetic protocols. A multi-step configuration method facilitates anesthesia protocol system reconfiguration. All the groups which may be taken into account for a possible future reproduction of the anesthesia protocol are first defined by combining parameters to form a group. A configuration name is assigned to each group. In a subsequent step, each anesthesia protocol segment has one of the groups assigned to it. The steps of forming the groups and assigning the groups to segments are repeated for each configuration. In a subsequent on-line mode of the anesthesia protocol system, the operator reconfigures the system by using the configuration name.
