“…However, these authors did not disclose their programs. Karippacheril and Ho 13 reported VSCapture, a simple open-source tool that enabled data collection from the Datex Ohmeda S/5™ monitor, and released the source code. On the other hand, the data from equipment other than the patient monitors could be obtained with high time resolutions, by using proprietary programs provided by the manufacturers, such as TrendCom (Masimo corporation, Irvine, CA, USA) and MultiDataLogger (Edwards Lifesciences corporation, Irvine, CA, USA).…”

The current anaesthesia information management system (AIMS) has limited capability for the acquisition of high-quality vital signs data. We have developed a Vital Recorder program to overcome the disadvantages of AIMS and to support research. Physiological data of surgical patients were collected from 10 operating rooms using the Vital Recorder. The basic equipment used were a patient monitor, the anaesthesia machine, and the bispectral index (BIS) monitor. Infusion pumps, cardiac output monitors, regional oximeter, and rapid infusion device were added as required. The automatic recording option was used exclusively and the status of recording was frequently checked through web monitoring. Automatic recording was successful in 98.5% (4,272/4,335) cases during eight months of operation. The total recorded time was 13,489 h (3.2 ± 1.9 h/case). The Vital Recorder’s automatic recording and remote monitoring capabilities enabled us to record physiological big data with minimal effort. The Vital Recorder also provided time-synchronised data captured from a variety of devices to facilitate an integrated analysis of vital signs data. The free distribution of the Vital Recorder is expected to improve data access for researchers attempting physiological data studies and to eliminate inequalities in research opportunities due to differences in data collection capabilities.

“…Both devices were connected to the monitoring system (Philips IntelliVue MX700, Hamburg, Germany). The tool VSCapture (version 1.002) 19 was used to import values into a database 20 and started when ESO reached equilibration to reflect valid values for core temperature. Pairs of temperature values were recorded each minute from both the TTP and the ESO until the probe and the sensor were removed before emergence from anaesthesia.…”

BACKGROUND Monitoring peri-operative body temperature in children is currently mainly achieved through invasive devices. The Temple Touch Pro Temperature Monitoring System estimates core temperature noninvasively based on heat flux thermometry. OBJECTIVE To investigate the agreement of this noninvasive sensor against standard oesophageal core temperature. DESIGN A prospective observational study. SETTING University hospital recruiting between April and July 2021.PATIENTS One hundred children (32 girls) aged 6 years or younger scheduled for noncardiac surgery, resulting in 6766 data pairs. Exclusion criteria were contraindication for the insertion of an oesophageal temperature probe, and procedures in which one of the measurement methods would interfere with the surgical field.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Primary outcome was the agreement analysis by a Bland-Altman comparison with multiple measurements. Posthoc, we performed another agreement analysis after exclusion of a statistically determined equilibration time. Secondary outcomes were the temperature differences over time and subgroup analysis of hypothermic, normothermic and hyperthermic temperature ranges, age, sex and sensor's side by type III analysis of variance. Further, we correlated the sonographically determined depth of the artery with trueness. RESULTSThe mean difference was -0.078C (95% CI -0.15 to R0.05) with limits of agreement of -1.00 and R0.858C. After adjusting for an equilibration time of 13 min, the mean difference improved to -0.048C (95% CI -0.08 to R0.01) with limits of agreement of -0.68 and R0.608C. Concordance correlation coefficient was 0.83 (95% CI 0.82 to 0.84). Differences between the skin sensor and oesophageal reference increased over time by -0.058C per hour. Subgroup analysis showed no clinically relevant differences. Depth of artery negatively correlated with trueness by 0.038C per millimetre.CONCLUSIONS Although the Temple Touch Pro sensor showed acceptable accuracy after allowing for an equilibration time, it still needs further investigation for routine use in children. This particularly affects accuracy in hypothermic ranges, imprecise positioning and applicability in children with immature or vulnerable skin.

“…[26] We used VSCapture, a free open source software to get one minute of pleth waveform and DII ECG lead from a healthy volunteer using a multi-parametric monitor. [27,28] This software has many capabilities, it is able to output data into many formats like csv (comma separated) files and it is also able to output data streams to a RESTful API (an application program interface that uses HTTP requests to GET, PUT, POST and DELETE data) using the POST method. We developed one serverless lambda amazon web services nodejs application, which exposes an API to receive output from VSCapture.…”

Healthcare has become one of the most important emerging application areas of blockchain technology.[1] Although the use of a cryptographic ledger within Anesthesia Information Management Systems (AIMS) remains uncertain. The need for a truly immutable anesthesia record is yet to be established, given that the current AIMS database systems have reliable audit capabilities. Adoption of AIMS has followed Roger's 1962 formulation of the theory of diffusion of innovation. Between 2018 and 2020, adoption was expected to be the 84% of U.S. academic anesthesiology departments.[2] Larger anesthesiology groups with large caseloads, urban settings, and government affiliated or academic institutions are more likely to adopt and implement AIMS solutions, due to the substantial amount of financial resources and dedicated staff to support both the implementation and maintenance that are required. As health care dollars become more scarce, this is the most frequently cited constraint in the adoption and implementation of AIMS.[3] We propose the use of a blockchain database for saving all incoming data from multiparametric monitors at the operating theatre. We present a proof of concept of the use of this technology for electronic anesthesia records even in the absence of an AIMS at site. In this paper we shall discuss its plausibility as well as its feasibility. The Electronic medical records (EMR) in AIMS might contain errors and artifacts that may (or may not) have to be dealt with. Making them immutable is a scary concept. The use of the blockchain for saving raw data directly from medical monitoring equipment and devices in the operating theatre has to be further investigated.
