Abstract
The present disclosure describes embodiments of a patient monitoring system and methods that include the measure and display of hemoglobin statistics. In an embodiment, total hemoglobin trending is displayed over a period of time. Statistics can include frequency domain analysis, which may be unique for each patient monitored. The total hemoglobin trending and/or statistics can further be used to help control the treatment of a patient, such as being used to control IV administration.
Claims19
A patient monitoring system comprising:
- a first system comprising an arterial line configured to connect with a patient;
- a second system comprising a non-invasive sensor configured to connect with the patient, said non-invasive sensor comprising:
- a light emitter configured to emit energy into a tissue site of a patient;
- and
- a detector configured to detect a response from the tissue site responsive to the emitted energy into the tissue site of the patient;
- and
- one or more hardware processors configured to determine a plurality of hemoglobin concentration measurements continuously over time from the tissue site based on the detected response by the detector;
- wherein the first system is configured to operate responsive to the continuous plurality of hemoglobin concentration measurement.
A patient monitoring method comprising:
- determining, noninvasively, a plurality of hemoglobin concentration measurements continuously over time from a tissue site of a patient, wherein the plurality of hemoglobin concentrations are determined based on a response to emission of energy into the tissue site from a light emitter as detected by a detector;
- and
- controlling a system comprising an arterial line that is configured to connect with the patient responsive to the continuous plurality of hemoglobin concentration measurement.
