Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a system and method for sampling parametric data provided with a patient monitoring device. A disclosed method includes sampling parametric data associated with a patient and adjusting a sampling interval during the sampling of the parametric data based on a change in a frequency of a periodic physiological event associated with the patient. A disclosed system includes a server computer operative to sample parametric data associated with a patient and to adjust a sampling interval during the sampling of the parametric data based on a change in a frequency of a periodic physiological event associated with the patient.
Claims24
A method of sampling parametric data by a data collection system, the parametric data being provided with a ventilator system and being associated with a patient monitored by the ventilator system, the method including:
- receiving information associated with a first respiration rate of a monitored patient, the information associated with the first respiration rate being provided with the ventilator system;
- setting a data sampling rate to substantially match the first respiration rate;
- sampling parametric data associated with the monitored patient at the data sampling rate, the parametric data being provided with the ventilator system;
- receiving information associated with a second respiration rate of the monitored patient, the second respiration rate being different from the first respiration rate;
- adjusting, during the sampling of the parametric data, the data sampling rate to substantially match the second respiration rate;
- and
- sampling parametric data associated with the monitored patient at the adjusted data sampling rate.
A method of sampling data provided with a patient monitoring device, the method including:
- sampling parametric data associated with a patient and provided with a patient monitoring device;
- determining a frequency of a periodic physiological event associated with the patient;
- and
- adjusting a sampling rate during the sampling of the parametric data based on a change in the frequency of the periodic physiological event associated with the patient.
A data collection system including:
- a database;
- and
- at least one server computer operative to sample parametric data associated with a patient and to store the sampled parametric data in the database, the parametric data being provided with a patient monitoring device, the at least one server computer adjusting a sampling frequency during a sampling of the parametric data based on a change in a determined frequency of a periodic physiological event associated with the patient.
