System and Method for Facilitating Observation of Monitored Physiologic Data

A system, comprising:

• an input for receiving a sensor signal;
• circuitry configured to process the sensor signal to generate data relating to a patient physiological parameter, the circuitry further configured for:
• analyzing the data to detect reciprocations, defined by a fall peak, a nadir, and a rise peak;
• distinguishing detected reciprocations caused by ventilatory instability from detected reciprocations not caused by ventilatory instability;
• maintaining a count of reciprocations caused by ventilatory instability and activating a cluster state based at least on the count;
• and
• causing to be indicated a notification of the presence of detected consecutive reciprocations caused by ventilatory instability based at least in part on the cluster state.

A system, comprising:

• an input for receiving physiological data;
• circuitry for determining an oxygen saturation data trend based on the physiological data;
• a detection feature for detecting occurrences of a pattern in the oxygen saturation trend data defined by a fall peak, a nadir, and a rise peak;
• a qualification feature for qualifying each detected occurrence of the pattern based on at least one characteristic of each respective detected occurrence;
• a determination feature for determining a presence of a cluster of qualified detected patterns;
• and
• a notification feature for indicating the presence of a physiological instability based on the presence of the cluster of qualified detected patterns.
