An integrated patient monitoring and control system is provided which includes a SITS, the SITS being adapted for coupling to the patient to obtain a specimen from the patient, a sensor, the sensor being adapted to receive the specimen from the SITS and to analyze the sample, a medication control unit, the medication control unit receiving information from the sensor, and utilizing that information to determine medication dosing information for the patient, and a medication administration system, the medication administration system receiving the dosing information from the medication control unit, and adapted to cause administration of the medication to the patient. If the SITS is adapted for blood draw, the system advantageously is performed in conjunction with a pneumatic pressure cuff, inflated so as to aid in blood draw. |
