Popis: An automated system for monitoring vital signs and respiratory gases is described. By careful selection of analog and digital hardware, a relatively small and inexpensive system can be made to perform complex monitoring functions on a practical clinical basis. This system automatically monitors and records vital signs and respiratory gases from 12 beds in our Trauma Unit by time-sharing the use of a mass spectrometer and other instrumentation under control of a small computer. Automatic measurement is performed on heart rate, temperature, aterial pressures, mean central venous pressure, respiratory O2 and CO2 waveforms, and respiratory rate.
