| 20100210961 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GRAPHIC DISPLAY OF ST-SEGMENT DEVIATION - Systems and methods are provided for monitoring a patient and graphically representing ST-segment deviations. A receiver acquires, from a plurality of leads, electrocardiogram (ECG) signals that each includes an ST-segment. A processor processes the ECG signals to determine baseline and current ST-segment deviations relative to an isoelectric value. A display module displays a graph that includes a first axis representing ST-segment deviation values and a second axis representing the plurality of leads. At each location along the second axis representing a respective lead, the graph displays a first set of graphic indicia representing the baseline ST-segment deviations and a second set of graphic indicia representing the current ST-segment deviations. In certain embodiments, the graphic indicia are represented by bar graphs. In other embodiments, the graphic indicia are represented by symbols that may be connected by line segments. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20100268093 | METHOD AND SYSTEM TO MEASURE ECG AND RESPIRATION - A method for monitoring the respiration rate of a patient includes attaching a plurality of electrocardiogram (ECG) electrodes and a pressure sensor to a patient, producing a first respiration signal based on variations detected in signals provided by the ECG electrodes attached to the patient, and producing a second respiration signal based on pressure variations detected in the pressure sensor secured to the patient. The method also includes selecting at least one of the first respiration signal and the second respiration signal based on respective signal qualities and producing a respiration rate from the selected signal. The method also includes providing indicia of the respiration rate. The method may also include displaying ECG signals with the indicia of the respiration rate. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20100276195 | CABLES FOR PATIENT MONITORING AND RELATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Patient monitoring systems can include a cable for transmitting information from a patient parameter sensor to a monitor. The cable can include an electrical circuit that can store information regarding the cable and can communicate information to the monitor. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20110046494 | Blood Pressure Cuff and Connector Incorporating an Electronic Component - A blood pressure cuff is equipped with an electronic component providing encoding of cuff properties. The connectors and hose connecting the cuff to a blood pressure measurement instrument are provided with conductors and electrical coupling, allowing the measuring instrument to access the electronic component encoding cuff properties. The arrangement of the cuff, hose, and connectors makes simultaneous pneumatic and electrical connection when the cuff is attached to the hose. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20110148622 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REMOTE PATIENT MONITORING - A system includes a local patient monitor and a plurality of remote patient monitors. The local patient monitor may display a plurality of physiological parameters for a local patient. The local patient monitor may further display a remote monitoring interface with the local patient's physiological parameters. The remote monitoring interface may include a plurality of status icons respectively representing the plurality of remote patient monitors. In one embodiment, the local patient monitor receives alarm information from a first remote patient monitor indicating that one or more physiological parameters for a remote patient are outside of a determined range. The alarm information may include, for example, location information for the remote patient and an alarm condition indicated by the one or more physiological parameters. The local patient monitor may display the alarm information within the remote monitoring interface. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110152628 | CABLES FOR PATIENT MONITORING AND RELATED SYSTEMS WITH INTEGRATED FRONT END - Patient monitoring systems can include a system for transmitting information from a patient parameter sensor to a patient monitor. The system can include an analogue-to-digital converter close to the patient parameter sensor and can transmit digital signals through a cable to the patient monitor. | 06-23-2011 |
