Abstract
A monitoring device may include logic to receive arterial blood pressure data associated with a patient and receive tissue hemoglobin data associated with the patient. The logic may also calculate a linear correlation between the arterial blood pressure data and the tissue hemoglobin data. The correlation may be used to assess vascular reactivity.
Claims21
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a processing device, arterial blood pressure data associated with a patient;
- receiving, by the processing device, tissue hemoglobin data associated with the patient;
- calculating, by the processing device, a mean value for the arterial blood pressure data every first period of time;
- calculating, by the processing device, a mean value for the tissue hemoglobin data every first period of time;
- and
- calculating, by the processing device, a linear correlation between the mean value of the arterial blood pressure data and the mean value for the tissue hemoglobin data.
A monitoring device, comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- receive arterial blood pressure data associated with a patient,
- receive tissue hemoglobin data associated with the patient, and
- calculate a linear correlation between mean values of the arterial blood pressure data and mean values of the tissue hemoglobin data.
A computer-readable medium having stored thereon sequences of instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- receive arterial blood pressure data associated with a patient;
- receive tissue hemoglobin data associated with the patient;
- and
- calculate a linear correlation between mean values of the arterial blood pressure data and mean values of the tissue hemoglobin data.
A system, comprising:
- means for receiving arterial blood pressure data associated with a patient;
- means for receiving hemoglobin data associated with the patient;
- means for calculating a mean value for the arterial blood pressure data every first period of time;
- means for calculating a mean value for the hemoglobin data every first period of time;
- and
- means for calculating a linear correlation between the mean value of the arterial blood pressure data and the mean value for the hemoglobin data.
