摘要
Object-oriented programming techniques were used to develop computer based data display and storage systems. These have been operating in the 8 anaesthetising areas of the Adelaide Children's Hospital for 3 years. The analogue and serial outputs from an array of patient monitors are connected to IBM(TM) compatible PC-XT computers. The information is displayed on a colour screen as wave-form and trend graphs and digital format in 'real time'. The trend data is printed simultaneously on a dot matrix printer. This data is also stored for 24 hours on 'hard' disk. The major benefit has been the provision of a single visual focus for all monitored variables. The automatic logging of data has been invaluable in the analysis of critical incidents. The systems were made possible by recent, rapid improvements in computer hardware and software. This paper traces the development of the program and demonstrates the advantages of object-oriented programming techniques.
