1. A surgical system, comprising:
a drug administration device configured to deliver a drug to a patient;
a first sensor configured to gather data, during a surgeon's performance of a surgical procedure on the patient in a room of a healthcare facility, regarding a first characteristic associated with the patient; and
a surgical hub including a processor;
wherein the drug administration device includes a memory;
the surgical hub is external to and separate from the drug administration device;
the surgical hub is configured to be in communication with (1) the drug administration device during the surgeon's performance of the surgical procedure, and (2) a robotic surgical system configured to control a surgical instrument being used on the patient during the surgeon's performance of the surgical procedure;
the memory of the drug administration device is configured to store therein an algorithm including at least one variable parameter;
the processor of the surgical hub is configured to:
control delivery of a first dose of a drug from the drug administration device to the patient, during the surgeon's performance of the surgical procedure, by executing the algorithm,
change, during the surgeon's performance of the surgical procedure, the at least one variable parameter of the algorithm stored in the memory based on the data gathered by the first sensor, and
after changing the at least one variable parameter, control delivery of a second dose of the drug from the drug administration device to the patient, during the surgeon's performance of the surgical procedure, by executing the algorithm; and
the surgical instrument is a surgical stapler, an ultrasonic surgical instrument, an electrosurgical surgical instrument, a combination ultrasonic/electrosurgical surgical instrument, and a combination stapler/electrosurgical surgical instrument.
