Databases such as PhysioBank, MIMIC II, and IMPROVE provide vital signs data recorded from patients in Intensive Care Units, but data from patients undergoing anesthesia are either seldom available or the datasets are limited to a subset of monitored parameters, such as CapnoBase for respiratory monitoring.
Patient simulators, such as the Advanced Simulation Corporation Body Simulation or METI Human Patient Simulator, provide realistic representations of vital signs during steady states, but they are less realistic during transitional phases and do not simulate artifacts such as noise, sensor disconnections, and interference.
The aim of this project was to provide a set of multi-parameter vital signs data from patients undergoing a range of anesthetics.
