Intensive Care Unit
An Intensive Care Unit (ICU), also known as a Critical Care Unit (CCU)
is a special department of a hospital that provides intensive-care
medicine. Intensive Care Units cater to patients with the most serious
injuries and illnesses, most of which are life-threatening and need
constant, close monitoring and support from specialist equipment and
medication in order to maintain normal bodily functions

ICU Automation System
There is a central server where the database and applications
are deployed.
A client -server architecture allows a seamless flow of
information to everyone in the clinical team.
Organizes high volume device data, lab results, calculations,
orders, medications etc
The workflow can be made easier and informative.
A web enabled application allows access to the system from a
remote location.
Clinical information is stored in the central server and is
available everywhere

The measurements from these instruments are stored using archaic
methods such as a patient history record on a paper. The access
to these records is cumbersome and not available unless the
medical personnel is present at the point of care.
Connecting bed side monitors and equipments to the server system
can make this automated. Once this is done data can be collected
and stored in realtime mode and can further be used for analysis.
Data Communication
RS232
RS422
via network using TCP/IP

Unfortunately, each medical instrument has its unique proprietary
API (application programming interface - if any) to provide
automated and electronic access to monitoring data. Integration of
these APIs requires an agreement with the manufacturers towards
realization of interoperable health care networking. As long as the
interoperability of instruments with a network is not possible,
ubiquitous access to patient status is limited only to manual entry
based systems.
Work done
Checked the different types of equipment in JMMC
Studied about starplus monitor(L & T)
Able to receive the starplus service manual from L & T
