Abstract:
1. A vital sign displaying method, comprising the steps of: providing a first display area in which an electroencephalogram waveform is displayed in a real time manner such that a direction indicating lapse of time is oriented horizontally; providing a second display area adjacent to the first display area in which at least one of CSA and DSA derived from the electroencephalogram waveform, which has been displayed in the first display area, is consecutively displayed such that a direction indicating lapse of time is oriented horizontally; providing a third display area in which a pulse waveform is displayed in a real time manner such that a direction indicating lapse of time is oriented horizontally; providing a fourth display area adjacent to the third display area in which the pulse waveform, which has been displayed in the third display area, is consecutively displayed in a compressed form; displaying the electroencephalogram waveform in the first display area and the pulse waveform in the third display area in such a manner that data points representing the same time in the electroencephalogram waveform and the pulse waveform are aligned vertically; and displaying at least one of the CSA and the DSA in the second display area and the compressed pulse waveform in the fourth display area in such a manner that points representing the same time in the at least one of the CSA and the DSA, and the compressed pulse waveform, are aligned vertically.
