Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for monitoring a patient to produce a signal representing a blood oxygen concentration. The signal may be analyzed to determine the presence of one or more sleep apnea events, and an integral of the signal may be calculated if the signal is outside of a set range or threshold. A practitioner may choose to be informed of the presence of sleep apnea events if the blood oxygen concentration is less then a preset limit, if an upper limit has been reached for an integral representing the severity of the oxygen deprivation over time, or anytime sleep apnea events may be present in the signal.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of evaluating a condition of a patient based on blood oxygen saturation data, the method comprising: monitoring a patient with a sensor to produce a signal comprising a sequence of numerical values for a physiological parameter over a time period; analyzing the signal with a processor of a patient monitor to determine a presence of one or more oxygen desaturation patterns; determining, with the processor, a value for an integral of the signal if…
