Abstract
A physiological monitor gauge panel defines parameters to display on a physiological monitor via corresponding gauges. Gauge faces depict a range of parameter values for each of the parameters. An indicator designates a position on each gauge face corresponding to the current parameter value within the range of parameter values. The indicated position on each of the gauges is at the mid-point of each of the gauge faces when each of the parameters is at a nominal value.
Claims18
A noninvasive monitor configured to communicate with a sensor that includes an emitter and one or more detectors, the sensor configured to position the emitter and the one or more detectors proximate to tissue of a patient, the noninvasive monitor comprising:
- an input configured to receive, from the sensor, a signal that is responsive to detected light from the emitter attenuated by the tissue;
- and
- one or more hardware processors configured to process the signal to determine measurement values for a physiological parameter of the patient;
- and
- a display configured to present a gauge panel, the gauge panel configured to present a plurality of indicators responsive to the measurement values, the gauge panel comprising:
- a numerical indicator of the plurality of indicators comprising a numerical readout, the numerical readout being configured to equal one of the measurement values,
- a gauge face extending from a first side of the numerical readout to a second side of the numerical readout, a plurality of positions along the gauge face being mapped to different parameter values for the physiological parameter ranging from a low parameter value to a high parameter value,
- a gauge indicator of the plurality of indicators being overlaid on the gauge face, the gauge indicator being located at a position of the plurality of positions that maps to the one of the measurement values, and
- a graphical histogram indicator disposed along the gauge face and comprising a plurality of bars.
