Abstract

A device ( 13 ) is provided for use with a treatment device for treating a patient. The device ( 13 ) includes a detection device ( 17 ) for detecting at least one transition of the patient's treatment from a first phase of treatment to a second phase of treatment. A signal device ( 25 ) for sending at least one signal when the transition is detected. It proposes, furthermore, a workstation equipped herewith.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for monitoring different phases of an anesthesia machine, the method comprising:
providing an anesthesia device;
providing a plurality of anesthesia phases of treatment with said anesthesia device, said plurality of anesthesia phases of treatment comprising an induction phase, a maintenance phase and an emergence phase;
providing a detection means;
providing a display means comprising a user interface;
determining a current anesthesia phase of treatment of the patient with said detection means;
displaying the current anesthesia phase of treatment on said display means;
detecting at least one transition from said current anesthesia phase of treatment to a next anesthesia phase of treatment;
displaying actions associated with one or more of said current anesthesia phase of treatment and said at least one transition from said current anesthesia phase of treatment to said next anesthesia phase of treatment on said display means, said actions corresponding to processes and operations associated with said current anesthesia phase of treatment and/or said at least one transition from said current anesthesia phase of treatment to said next anesthesia phase of treatment, wherein parameters of said processes and operations are displayed on said display means during one or more of said current anesthesia of treatment and said at least one transition from said current anesthesia phase of treatment;
adjusting one or more of said parameters on said display means; and
selecting at least one future anesthesia phase of treatment based on said actions displayed on said display means via said user interface, wherein said display means displays said selected at least one future anesthesia phase of treatment.

2. A method in accordance with claim 1 , further comprising:
providing a signal means;
sending at least a signal when the at least one transition from said current anesthesia phase of treatment to said next anesthesia phase of treatment is detected via said signal means, wherein the at least one transition of one anesthesia phase to the next anesthesia phase is one of a transition from standby to preoxygenation, a transition from preoxygenation to intubation, a transition from intubation to a wash-in process, a transition from a wash-in process to instrumentalization, a transition from instrumentalization to maintenance, a transition from maintenance to heart-lung-machine-mode, a transition from heart-lung-machine-mode to maintenance, a transition from maintenance to a wash-out process, a transition from a wash-out process to extubation and a transition from extubation to standby, said parameters corresponding to one or more of gas concentration parameters, alarm parameters and ventilation parameters.

3. A method in accordance with claim 1 , further comprising:
providing a data bank means; and
storing work flows data with said data bank means.

4. A method in accordance with claim 3 , further comprising:
providing a control means; and
controlling said work flows data with said control means.

5. A method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein another future phase of anesthesia treatment is selected based on said current anesthesia phase of treatment and/or said at least one transition from said current anesthesia phase of treatment to said next anesthesia phase of treatment, wherein said display means displays a transition from standby to preoxygenation, said display means displaying a transition from preoxygenation to intubation after displaying said transition from standby to preoxygenation, said display means displaying a transition from intubation to a wash-in process after displaying said transition from standby to preoxygenation and after displaying said transition from preoxygenation to intubation, said display means displaying a transition from a wash-in process to instrumentalization after displaying said transition from standby to preoxygenation and after displaying said transition from preoxygenation to intubation and after displaying said transition from intubation to said wash-in process, said display means displaying a transition from instrumentalization to maintenance after displaying said transition from standby to preoxygenation and after displaying said transition from preoxygenation to intubation and after displaying said transition from intubation to said wash-in process and after displaying said transition from said wash-in process to instrumentalization, said display means displaying a transition from maintenance to heart-lung-machine-mode after displaying said transition from standby to preoxygenation and after displaying said transition from preoxygenation to intubation and after displaying said transition from intubation to said wash-in process and after displaying said transition from said wash-in process to instrumentalization and after displaying said transition from instrumentalization to maintenance, said display means displaying a transition from heart-lung-machine-mode to maintenance after displaying said transition from standby to preoxygenation and after displaying said transition from preoxygenation to intubation and after displaying said transition from intubation to said wash-in process and after displaying said transition from said wash-in process to instrumentalization and after displaying said transition from instrumentalization to maintenance and after displaying said transition from maintenance to heart-lung-machine-mode, said display means displaying a transition from maintenance to a wash-out process after displaying said transition from standby to preoxygenation and after displaying said transition from preoxygenation to intubation and after displaying said transition from intubation to said wash-in process and after displaying said transition from said wash-in process to instrumentalization and after displaying said transition from instrumentalization to maintenance and after displaying said transition from maintenance to heart-lung-machine-mode and after displaying said transition from heart-lung-machine-mode to maintenance, said display means displaying a transition from a wash-out process to extubation after displaying said transition from standby to preoxygenation and after displaying said transition from preoxygenation to intubation and after displaying said transition from intubation to said wash-in process and after displaying said transition from said wash-in process to instrumentalization and after displaying said transition from instrumentalization to maintenance and after displaying said transition from maintenance to heart-lung-machine-mode and after displaying said transition from heart-lung-machine-mode to maintenance and after displaying said transition from maintenance to said wash-out process, said display means displaying a transition from extubation to standby after displaying said transition from standby to preoxygenation and after displaying said transition from preoxygenation to intubation and after displaying said transition from intubation to said wash-in process and after displaying said transition from said wash-in process to instrumentalization and after displaying said transition from instrumentalization to maintenance and after displaying said transition from maintenance to heart-lung-machine-mode and after displaying said transition from heart-lung-machine-mode to maintenance and after displaying said transition from maintenance to said wash-out process and after displaying said transition from said wash-out process to extubation.

6. A method in accordance with claim 5 , wherein one or more of said preoxygenation, said intubation, said wash-in process and said instrumentalization is detected when said at least one anesthesia phase of said plurality of anesthesia phases is said induction phase, wherein said dis
