FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates generally to medical and surgical devices and equipment, and in particular to improvements for an electro-surgical unit (ESU) and exact monitoring.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Modern surgery relies heavily on electronic devices. In surgeries to cut, coagulate, dissect, fulgurate, ablate, and decrease tissue, the electro-surgical unit (ESU) has become a routine equipment item to reduce blood loss, which leads to more rapid recovery. However, the vital signs (VS) monitoring is vulnerable to unintentional interference from ESU and human activity by the patient or the surgical staff. Furthermore, concerns have been raised in the medical community regarding electric medical records and medical research, as well as clinic quality management.

For example, during new drug clinical research on surgical patients, copy-and-paste or record cloning can be done from standard guideline or protocols. A missed edit from “positive result” to “negative result” can have devastating effects on not only a patient's record, but also on the patient's treatment and the reports of medical researchers as well as quality control of the research. For example, during a clinical observation of a new drug administration during a surgery, on the monitor screen, a patient's significant decline in blood pressure with arrhythmia after the physician administered the new drug about one minute later, at the same time the ESU was active or others, can support a management decision which can be made after the ESU is deactivated, which will obtain a reliable record for study and review.

Accordingly, there is a need for an improved surgical equipment and VS monitor that may overcome one or more of the abovementioned problems and/or limitations.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter. Nor is this summary intended to be used to limit the claimed subject matter's scope.

According to some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a monitor equipment. The monitor equipment comprising a nasal clip configured to clip onto nasal septum of a patient. Further, the monitor equipment comprising a monitor detector connected to the nasal clip through at least one of a wired and a wireless connection. The monitor detector may be a vital signs (VS) monitor. Further, the monitor equipment comprising an electro-surgical unit (ESU) connected to the monitor detector through at least one of a wired and a wireless connection.

Both the foregoing summary and the following detailed description provide examples and are explanatory only. Accordingly, the foregoing summary and the following detailed description should not be considered to be restrictive. Further, features or variations may be provided in addition to those set forth herein. For example, embodiments may be directed to various feature combinations and sub-combinations described in the detailed description.
