Abstract
The present disclosure describes embodiments of a patient monitoring system and methods that include the measure and display of hemoglobin statistics. In an embodiment, total hemoglobin trending is displayed over a period of time. Statistics can include frequency domain analysis, which may be unique for each patient monitored. The total hemoglobin trending and/or statistics can further be used to help control the treatment of a patient, such as being used to control IV administration.
Claims17
A method of controlling a treatment unit, the method comprising:
- controlling one or more light emitters configured to transmit optical radiation towards a tissue site of a patient;
- receiving attenuated optical radiation from the tissue site of the patient corresponding to the transmitted optical radiation;
- determining a first plurality of hemoglobin measurements from the received attenuated optical radiation;
- applying pattern detection rules on the determined first plurality of hemoglobin measurements;
- and
- transmitting a control signal to a treatment unit based on an output of the applied pattern detection rules on the determined first plurality of hemoglobin measurements,
- wherein the pattern detection rules comprise comparing the first plurality of hemoglobin measurements with a baseline measurement.
A system for controlling a treatment unit, the system comprising:
- one or more light emitters configured to transmit optical radiation towards a tissue site of a patient;
- one or more detectors configured to detect attenuated optical radiation from the tissue site of the patient corresponding to the transmitted optical radiation;
- and
- a patient monitor comprising one or more hardware processors configured to:
- determine a first plurality of hemoglobin measurements from the detected attenuated optical radiation;
- apply pattern detection rules on the determined first plurality of hemoglobin measurements;
- and
- transmit a control signal to a treatment unit based on an output of the applied pattern detection rules on the determined first plurality of hemoglobin measurements,
- wherein the pattern detection rules comprise comparing the first plurality of hemoglobin measurements with a baseline measurement.
