Description

  The present invention relates to a biological information monitoring apparatus and a biological information monitoring system including the same.

  Conventionally, a central monitor is known as a biological information monitoring device used for a patient whose condition needs to be monitored, such as monitoring of a patient who is receiving treatment in an intensive care unit or the like. The central monitor is generally installed at a nurse station in a medical institution. The central monitor receives each patient's biological information (eg, ECG, blood pressure, arterial oxygen saturation, etc.) from the bedside monitor installed at the bedside of each patient in an intensive care unit or hospital room, and displays it on the screen. (For example, see Patent Document 1).

  The central monitor can simultaneously display biometric information received from each bedside monitor, a portable telemeter device carried by the patient, and the like on one screen. As a result, the central monitor can simultaneously monitor the conditions of a patient bed, an intensive care unit, and even a plurality of patients moving in the hospital away from the nurse station.

  This central monitor can change the number of patients simultaneously displayed on the display screen. For example, when biometric information for 16 patients is input from a bedside monitor or a portable telemeter device, the display area of one screen is divided into display areas for the number of patients (for example, 16 (for 16 persons)). One waveform can be displayed as biological information for each patient in the divided display area.

  At this time, patient information such as the patient's name is displayed in the waveform display area of each patient so that it can be determined at a glance which patient the biometric information being displayed belongs to.

  For example, when confirming the occurrence of blood pressure or arrhythmia in a specific patient, when selecting specific patient information displayed on the display screen, the display screen shows details of the selected patient in some areas. A personal screen displaying patient personal information including various biological information is displayed. At the same time, the other patient information displayed in the partial area is reduced and displayed in the remaining display area together with the other patients on the display screen. By visually recognizing the personal screen displayed on the central monitor in this way, a medical staff such as a nurse can check detailed biological information of the patient even when the patient is away from the patient.

In addition, the central monitor display unit 53 individually arranges biometric information of a plurality of patients in a plurality of display areas obtained by dividing a display area excluding a part of the display area where the personal screen 540 is arranged, and the personal screen 540. Display at the same time. That is, in the personal screen display mode, the central monitor display unit 53 displays the personal information on a plurality of patients in a plurality of display areas obtained by dividing the display area excluding the personal screen 540 while displaying the personal screen 540.

  Specifically, the display area of the monitoring display surface 531 is divided into left and right, and the biological information about all the patients previously displayed as the basic screen 531a (see FIG. 3) is reduced and divided. A half-display area is displayed vertically, and a personal screen 540 of a specific patient is displayed in the right-half display area.

  This personal screen 540 is a personal screen of a patient having biological information collected by the bedside monitor 10. This personal screen 540 is a display screen mode similar to the display mode of the screen displayed on the bedside monitor display unit 13 of the bedside monitor 10.

  FIG. 5 shows a display screen of the bedside monitor display unit 13 of the patient that is the target of the personal screen 540 displayed in the personal screen display mode of the central monitor display unit 53 of the central monitor 50.

  That is, the personal screen 540 of the central monitor display unit 53 shown in FIG. 4 is displayed in the same display manner as the monitoring personal screen 131 (11 waveforms) in the bedside monitor display unit 13 shown in FIG. Here, the display mode of the personal screen 540 is the same with respect to the type, display size, display color, display position, and the like of the biological information expressed by the waveform and the measurement value (numerical value) on the personal screen 131 of the bedside monitor display unit 13. It is an aspect of.

  The size of the personal screen 540 on the display screen 531b of the central monitor display unit 53 shown in FIG. 4 is made as large as possible on the monitoring display surface 531 while approximating the screen aspect ratio of the bedside monitor display unit 13.

  When the central monitor 50 displays the patient's personal screen 540 having the biological information collected by the bedside monitor 10 on the monitoring display surface 531 in the personal screen display mode, the display mode information acquired from the bedside monitor 10 is displayed. Display based on. Specifically, the central monitor 50 displays the personal screen 540 of the central monitor display unit 53 in synchronization with a display screen mode similar to the display mode of the bedside monitor display unit 13.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating another example of the personal screen displayed on the bedside monitor display unit, and FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating another example of the personal screen displayed on the central monitor display unit.

  In the personal screen 132 for monitoring in the bedside monitor display unit shown in FIG. 6, an operation screen 132b is displayed on the patient's biological information 132a expressed by customized settings.

  At this time, when displaying the patient personal information of a specific patient as a personal screen from the basic screen 531a (see FIG. 3) as the personal screen display mode, the central monitor display unit 53 displays the information as shown in FIG. In FIG. 7, in the personal screen display mode, the central monitor display unit 53 arranges the personal screen 541 in a part of the display area of the basic screen 531a (see FIG. 3), and stores biological information of a plurality of patients. The display area excluding the part is individually arranged in a plurality of divided display areas and displayed simultaneously.

  Here, a part of the display area is a display area on the right side when viewed from the front on the monitoring display surface 531, and a part of the display area other than the part is a display area on the left side when viewed from the front on the monitoring display surface 531. It is.

  Thus, in the central monitor display unit 53 (see FIG. 2), as shown in FIG. 7, the personal screen 541 on the display screen 531c is the same as the personal screen 132 for monitoring of the bedside monitor display unit 13 shown in FIG. They are displayed synchronously in the same display mode.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 8, it is assumed that 12-lead waveform display is set on the personal screen 133 as a monitoring screen as biological information about the patient in the bedside monitor display unit 13. In this state, the personal screen 542 displayed in the personal screen display mode of the central monitor display unit 53 has a monitoring personal screen 133 (see FIG. 8) in the right half area of the monitoring display surface 531 as shown in FIG. ) In the same manner as the 12-lead waveform display mode.

  In addition, the bedside monitor display units of a plurality of bedside monitors connected to the central monitor 50 may have different display modes due to differences in size, function, etc. due to differences in aspect ratio. In this case, when displaying the personal screen, the central monitor 50 synchronizes and displays the corresponding personal screen in the same display manner as the bedside monitor display unit corresponding to each patient to be targeted.

  For example, unlike the bedside monitor display unit 13 (see FIG. 5), the bedside monitor connected to the central monitor 50 includes a bedside monitor display unit 73 that displays biological information in five waveforms as shown in FIG. Suppose you have it. Even in this case, as shown by the personal screen 543 on the display screen 531d of the central monitor display unit 53 of FIG. 11, the display is synchronized with the display mode similar to the display mode of the bedside monitor display unit 73 (see FIG. 10). .

  The central monitor 50 is preset on the central monitor side as shown in FIG. 12 when displaying the biological information of a patient who is a measurement target of the medical telemeter 30 having no display unit as a personal screen showing the patient personal information. The personal screen 544 is displayed in synchronization with the biological information acquired from the medical telemeter 30.

  As described above, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 11, the central monitor 50 acquires the display mode information indicating the display mode of the bedside monitor display unit 13 together with the biological information from the bedside monitor 10. Using these acquired biological information and display mode information, the central monitor display unit 53 displays a personal screen display mode. This personal screen display mode is a mode in which a personal screen of a patient having biological information collected by the bedside monitor 10 is displayed on the monitoring display surface 531 in a display screen mode similar to the display mode of the bedside monitor display unit 13. It is. Further, the central monitor 50 acquires biological information from the telemeter transmitter 14 by the telemeter receiver 52 and displays the biological information together with the acquired biological information from the bedside monitor 50 on the monitoring display surface 531. That is, in the central monitor 50, the patient selected on the basic screen 531a of the central monitor display unit 53 (see FIG. 2) is a patient having the biological information collected by the bedside monitor 10. In this case, the central monitor display unit 53 (see FIG. 2) displays the personal screen based on the biological information and the display mode information acquired from the bedside monitor 10 in the same manner as the display mode of the bedside monitor display unit 13. Display in a manner.

  As a result, the patient's biological information display mode on the central monitor 50 is similar to the display mode of the bedside monitor display unit 13, and the patient is monitored by the central monitor 50 with the same feeling as that confirmed on the bedside monitor 10. Detailed biological information can be easily confirmed.

  In the present embodiment, the personal screen 540 displayed on the central monitor display unit 53 has been described as being synchronously displayed in the same display screen mode as the display mode of the bedside monitor display unit 13, but is always synchronized. It does not have to be displayed. That is, on the central monitor 50 side, the biological information and the display mode information are always acquired from the bedside monitor 10, but the display of the biological information on the personal screen 540 is displayed synchronously after a predetermined time has elapsed, It may be displayed in synchronization with the user's selection. For example, “synchronization buttons” that can be selected via the selection input unit (touch panel) 54 (see FIG. 2) are arranged on the display screen of the central monitor display unit 530. When the “synchronization button” is selected by the user, the central monitor display unit 53 displays the display mode information synchronized with the display mode information acquired from the bedside monitor 10 on the personal screen 540 via the control unit 503. You may make it display. This avoids a situation in which an inadvertent change in the display state on the bedside monitor 10 is immediately reflected in the central monitor display unit 13.
