Abstract:
1. A method for managing, in a computer system, patient-related parameters provided by at least one monitoring device, the method comprising the steps of: A) connecting the computer system to said at least one monitoring device; B) capturing, through the connection with the monitoring device, one or more physiological patient-related parameters selected from a set of patient-related parameters provided by said at least one monitoring device, wherein the capturing comprises: C) adapting each of the captured one or more physiological patient-related parameters to a predetermined parameter format to define a virtual parameter, said virtual parameter being a representation in the computer system of the captured one or more physiological patient-related parameters, which univocally represents a parameter independently of its device of origin; and D) managing the adapted one or more physiological patient-related parameters, wherein the managing comprises synchronizing each signal value captured for the one or more physiological patient-related parameters from said at least one monitoring device with signal values captured for one or more other physiological patient-related parameters captured from another monitoring device using the actual time of capture such that the synchronization takes account of the delay from the at least one monitoring device.
