Retinopathy of prematurity determination and alarm system

A method for displaying an indication of a risk of retinopathy of prematurity in a patient, the method comprising:

• determining whether an oxygen saturation history of the patient places the patient at risk of developing retinopathy of prematurity;
• and
• presenting an indication of a risk of prematurity in patient when the oxygen saturation history of the patient places the patient at risk of developing retinopathy of prematurity, wherein the indication comprises at least one of a number associated with the risk, an audible alarm, or a visual alarm.

An apparatus for displaying an indication of a risk of retinopathy of prematurity in a patient, the apparatus comprising:

• a processing unit configured to determine whether an oxygen saturation history of the patient places the patient at risk of developing retinopathy of prematurity;
• and
• a display unit configured to present an indication of a risk of prematurity in the patient when the processing unit determines that the oxygen saturation history of the patient places the patient at risk of developing retinopathy of prematurity, the indication comprising at least one of a number associated with the risk, an audible alarm, or a visual alarm, and wherein the display unit comprises a geometric shape, and the geometric shape is changed based on an extent the oxygen saturation history extends beyond an oxygen saturation threshold.
