Abstract
A patient monitoring system may include processing circuitry configured to receive an indication of a surgical event, obtain a nociception parameter of a patient, compare the nociception parameter of the patient to a nociception threshold to detect a nociception event, determine whether the surgical event corresponds to the nociception event, and in response to determinizing whether the surgical event corresponds to the nociception event, provide an indication to adjust an amount of analgesic administered to the patient.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by processing circuitry, an indication of a surgical event;
- obtaining, by the processing circuitry, a nociception parameter of a patient;
- comparing, by the processing circuitry, the nociception parameter of the patient to a nociception threshold to detect a nociception event;
- determining, by the processing circuitry, whether the surgical event corresponds to the nociception event;
- and
- in response to determining whether the surgical event corresponds to the nociception event, providing, by the processing circuitry, an indication to adjust an amount of analgesic administered to the patient.
A system comprising:
- memory configured to store a nociception threshold;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to:
- receive an indication of a surgical event;
- obtain a nociception parameter of a patient;
- compare the nociception parameter of the patient to the nociception threshold to detect a nociception event;
- determine whether the surgical event corresponds to the nociception event;
- and
- in response to determining whether the surgical event corresponds to the nociception event, provide an indication to adjust an amount of analgesic administered to the patient.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause processing circuitry to:
- receive an indication of a surgical event;
- obtain a nociception parameter of a patient;
- compare the nociception parameter of the patient to a nociception threshold to detect a nociception event;
- determine whether the surgical event corresponds to the nociception event;
- and
- in response to determinizing whether the surgical event corresponds to the nociception event, provide an indication to adjust an amount of analgesic to administer to the patient.
