Abstract
A system and method for analyzing a patient status for respiratory insufficiency for use in automated patient care. A set of one or more physiological measures relating to patient information recorded on a substantially continuous basis or derived therefrom are received. The physiological measures set is stored into a patient care record for an individual patient into a database. One or more of the physiological measures in the physiological measures set are analyzed relative to one or more other physiological measures to determine a pathophysiology indicating an absence, an onset, a progression, a regression, and a status quo of respiratory insufficiency.
Claims16
A system for analyzing a patient status for respiratory insufficiency for use in automated care, comprising
- a server system receiving a set of one or more physiological measures relating to patient information recorded on a substantially continuous basis or derived therefrom, the server system further receiving one or more baseline physiological measures relating to patient information recorded during an initial time period or derived therefrom;
- a database module storing the physiological measures into a patient care record for an individual patient into a database, the database module further storing the baseline physiological measures into the patient care record for the individual patient into the database;
- an analyzer analyzing one or more of the physiological measures in the physiological measures set relative to one or more other physiological measures to determine a patient status indicating at least one of a change and a status quo of respiratory insufficiency, the analyzer analyzing the physiological measures in the physiological measures set relative to the baseline physiological measures to determine a further patient status indicating at least one of a change and a status quo of respiratory insufficiency;
- wherein the further patient status is selected to indicate a progression that is trending into a state of likely respiratory insufficiency.
A method for analyzing a patient status for respiratory insufficiency for use in automated patient care, comprising:
- receiving from a medical device a set of one or more physiological measures relating to patient information recorded on a substantially continuous basis or derived therefrom;
- receiving from a medical device one or more baseline physiological measures relating to patient information recorded during an initial time period or derived therefrom;
- storing the physiological measures into a patient care record for an individual patient into a database;
- storing the baseline physiological measures into the patient care record for the individual patient into the database;
- analyzing on a server one or more of the physiological measures in the physiological measures set relative to one or more other physiological measures to determine a patient status indicating at least one of a change and a status quo of respiratory insufficiency;
- analyzing the physiological measures in the physiological measures set relative to the baseline physiological measures to determine a further patient status indicating at least one of a change and a status quo of respiratory insufficiency;
- and
- selecting the further patient status to indicate a progression that is trending into a state of likely respiratory insufficiency.
