The design and use of a charting system for automatic record keeping during extracorporeal circulation.
A system is described which automatically and on a real-time basis collects physiological data from a patient during the course of cardio-pulmonary bypass. The data are immediately plotted using a multi-color plotter. The system replaces hand-drafted record-keeping, produces a more concise record and allows the perfusionist to attend to more urgent matters.
