A method and apparatus for monitoring collection of subject condition data is provided. The method includes receiving a value of a parameter of subject condition data and a value of a sample time, for each of a plurality of sample times. The method also includes storing the subject condition data in a data structure including a first field for holding data indicating a current sample time and a second field for holding data indicating the value of the parameter. The method also includes determining a time gap defined by a duration between the current sample time and a most recent sample time and determining whether the time gap exceeds a time gap threshold and causing an apparatus to perform remedial action. A method for presenting the subject condition data on a display is also provided.

Method and apparatus for monitoring collection of physiological patient data

Provided are methods for creating a pressurized cadaver model used for surgical procedure training. In the method the internal jugular veins, common carotid arteries, brachial arteries, superficial femoral arteries and femoral veins thereof of a cadaver are exposed. One internal jugular vein is ligated and a drainage tube is disposed in the other internal jugular vein. An arterial catheter is inserted into one brachial artery and connected to a pressure transducer and an arterial cannula is placed in a carotid artery and connected to a fusion pump. Fluid is injected into the artery through the cannulated carotid artery. A representative example of the surgical procedure includes resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta.
