Anesthesia Information System

AIS is the 'homegrown' full disclosure anesthesia information management system as it was used at the VUmc hospital (Amsterdam, the Netherlands). Full disclosure here is: record everything at the highest possible samplerate: this can be compared to a holter EKG (holter ECG). In this case using the same idea not only for EKG's but also for bloodpressure, saturation and ventilator waveforms (PAW/Capno). The highest possible rate is used for the recording of the trends as well.

The AIS is a generic datarecording and datamining platform and a PDMS was build on top. The recorder platform served as a flightrecorder (a.k.a. 'blackbox') for the OR. It has a modular architecture, uses open standards and is webbased.
