[Computer-assisted monitoring systems. Use of computer networks and internet technologies].

The automated workplace (AWP) of anesthesiologist developed by the early 1990s provided data collection and processing, viewing of all monitors, and printing of anesthesiological chart (AC). AWP is a subject of continuous modification and adaptation to variable conditions. Computer monitoring including various measuring devises equipped with series interface RS-232 was implemented in Russian Research Center for Surgery.

[Personal computer-based computer monitoring system of the anesthesiologist (2-year experience in development and use)].

Creation of computer monitoring systems (CMS) for operating rooms is one of the most important spheres of personal computer employment in anesthesiology. The authors developed a PC RS/AT-based CMS and effectively used it for more than 2 years. This system permits comprehensive monitoring in cardiosurgical operations by real time processing the values of arterial and central venous pressure, pressure in the pulmonary artery, bioelectrical activity of the brain, and two temperature values.
