Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for measuring respiratory parameters from an ECG device are described. The method may include receiving an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal associated with a patient. The method may further include detecting a change in modulation of the ECG signal between a first portion of the ECG signal and a second portion of the ECG signal. The method may further include determining a change in respiratory effort of the patient based at least in part on the change in modulation.
Claims20
A method of patient monitoring, comprising:
- receiving an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal associated with a patient;
- detecting a change in a frequency modulation of the ECG signal between a first portion of the ECG signal and a second portion of the ECG signal;
- and
- determining a change in respiratory effort of the patient based at least in part on the change in the frequency modulation.
A medical device for patient monitoring, comprising:
- a processor;
- memory in electronic communication with the processor;
- and
- instructions stored in the memory and operable, when executed by the processor, to cause the apparatus to:
- receive an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal associated with a patient;
- detect a change in a frequency modulation of the ECG signal between a first portion of the ECG signal and a second portion of the ECG signal;
- and
- determine a change in respiratory effort of the patient based at least in part on the change in the frequency modulation.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing code for patient monitoring, the code comprising instructions executable by a processor to:
- receive an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal associated with a patient;
- detect a change in a frequency modulation of the ECG signal between a first portion of the ECG signal and a second portion of the ECG signal;
- and
- determine a change in respiratory effort of the patient based at least in part on the change in the frequency modulation.
