We developed a practically new central patient monitoring system for the operating room based on a system which had been developed in 1982. Since we introduced this system on May 19, 1992, we have utilized the system in more than 2,000 anesthesia cases. This system has been operating smoothly and accepted well by not only anesthesiologists but also surgeons and nurses. This system is easy to operate, and works automatically, contributing to the early detection of abnormalities in patient's condition. By introducing this system, the anesthesiologists have succeeded in controlling the patient during the operation more elaborately and effectively than before. Automated anesthesia recorder has reduced anesthesiologist's burden of the manual recording.
