ICUpilot software

To download the ICUpilot software:

  1. Apply for Membership
  2. The Editor will mail you a user name and password
  3. Log in (upper right on every window) and download ICUpilot and its manual from Clinical data/Downloads (only accessible after login)

The ICUpilot window integrates all important information from bedside monitors, drug infusions, patient records and CT images. The possibility to integrate all available information in one window is unique and truly "multimodal".

The left column of the figure below shows the folders on your hard disk from which large amounts of data can be rapidly entered into the ICUpilot desktop. You may even use the built in web browser to view the multimodalmonitoring.org website and its Patient records on the ICUpilot desktop.

The following is a demo of the basic "drag and drop" features of the ICUpilot including how to seemlessly transfer data back and forth to Excel.

Multimodal display of patient data

Fig 1: The left column displays patient data files stored on the hard disk. Open the files by drag and drop them to the ICUpilot desk top.

Fig 2: More data files can be added to the first graph by drag and drop.

Fig 3: Instead of adding the file to the existing graph it can be displayed as a separate graph by dropping it on the ICUpilot desktop.

Fig 4: Two or more graphs can be combined by grabbing the name of a graph and dropping it on another graph.

Fig 5: Remove a graph from the desk top by simply drag it to the waste bin.

Graphic computing of patient data

Fig 6: Click the drop down calculator to get several options for mathematically treating your graphs.

Fig 7: By dividing the first graph (Lactate) with the second graph (Pyruvate) you can create the LPR (Lactate/Pyruvate ratio).

Storing patient data graphs

Fig 8: The calculated graph appears in a separate window and can be stored by dragging the icon in the lower left corner of the window to a folder in the left column.

Connecting bedside monitors

Fig 9: ICUpilot connects to bedside monitors through software DIM´s (Data input modules) that are unique for each bedside monitor. The available DIM´s are listed hear. After activating the connection to the bedside monitors data are automatically recorded and displayed as graphs.

Seemless transfer of data between Excel and ICUpilot

Fig 10: Whole graphs or parts of graphs can be easily transfered to Excel by using the "Display value" tool.

Fig 11: The selected graph(s) are simply copied into the Excel sheet or any other Windows based software e.g. statistical packages.

Fig 12: Provided that date and time are displayed in the same column data can be copied from the Excel sheet and pasted into ICUpilot and in this way enable extremely fast graphing of Excel data.

Fig 13: The combined use of Excel and ICUpilot provides an efficient way of plotting and analyzing data that have been entered manually into an Excel sheet. Iit is e.g. possible to enter drug infusions and injections that have not been automatically recorded by the ICUpilot.
