Describes a computerized, interactive ECG monitoring system for coronary intensive care units to assist in alarming, therapy evaluation, and documentation.
Early CCU ECG monitoring prototype may guide tech evolution; leaves open prospective outcome validation.
A system for monitoring the electrocardiogram (ECG) in a coronary intensive care unit is described. Most of the signal analysis is done by a digital computer. The system is essentially interactive: communication with the system is accomplished by means of a visual display and keyboard terminal. Therapy data storage facilities are also available. Results from signal analysis and therapy data are stored on analog and digital tape, for evaluation purposes. The system assists in alarming, therapy evaluation, and documentation of the patient's condition.
