Abstract
The disclosed embodiments relate to pulse oximetry. An exemplary pulse oximeter comprises a probe that is adapted to be attached to a body part of a patient to create a signal indicative of an oxygen saturation of blood of the patient, and a processor that is adapted to receive the signal produced by the probe, to calculate an SPO2 value based on the signal, to detect a plurality of pattern types of SPO2 indicative of pathophysiologic events, and to produce an output indicative of a detected one of the plurality of pattern types.

A pulse oximeter, comprising:
- a probe that is adapted to be attached to a body part of a patient to create a signal indicative of an oxygen saturation of blood of the patient;
- and
- a processor that is adapted to receive the signal produced by the probe, to calculate an SPO2 value based on the signal, to detect a plurality of pattern types of SPO2 indicative of pathophysiologic events, and to produce an output indicative of a detected one of the plurality of pattern types.
A pulse oximeter, comprising:
- a probe that is adapted to be attached to a body part of a patient to create a signal indicative of an oxygen saturation of blood of the patient;
- and
- a processor that is adapted to receive the signal produced by the probe, to calculate an SPO2 value based on the signal, to detect at least one cluster pattern type of SPO2, and to produce an output indicative of a detected cluster pattern type.
A pulse oximeter, comprising:
- a probe that is adapted to be attached to a body part of a patient to create a signal indicative of an oxygen saturation of blood of the patient;
- and
- a processor that is adapted to receive the signal produced by the probe, to calculate an SPO2 value based on the signal, to detect a plurality of different cluster pattern types of SPO2, and to produce an output indicative of a detected cluster pattern type.
A method of monitoring a patient, comprising:
- receiving a signal indicative of an oxygen saturation of blood of the patient;
- calculating an SPO2 value based on the signal;
- detecting a plurality of pattern types of SPO2 indicative of pathophysiologic events;
- and
- producing an output indicative of a detected one of the plurality of pattern types.
