Abstract
In a unit for intensive treatment of critically ill patients, a computer can make very significant contribution to the measurement, monitoring, and data collection system. The demands made upon the methods of data presentation are probably the most complex at present required in the health services. It is the purpose of this chapter to describe this facet of data display, arising in one of the earliest practical applications, and thence to derive some conclusions of future clinical requirements.
