1. A patient health determination system, comprising:
- a respiration monitoring device that is operable to provide a plurality of patient respiratory signals related to a patient;
a heart monitoring device that is operable to provide a plurality of patient heart signals related to the patient; and
a diagnosis engine coupled to the respiration monitoring device and the heart monitoring device, wherein the diagnosis engine is programmed to;
receive the plurality of patient respiratory signals from the respiration monitoring device;
receive the plurality of patient heart signals from the heart monitoring device;
determine a degree of decoupling, where the degree of decoupling is determined based on a ratio of a length of a R-to-R interval within one inspiration cycle to a length of a R-to-R interval within one expiration cycle in an electrocardiography waveform, wherein the R-to-R interval within one inspiration cycle and the R-to-R interval within one expiration cycle are obtained from one respiratory cycle; and
provide a patient health indicator based on only the degree of decoupling between the plurality of patient respiratory signals and the plurality of patient heart signals; and
wherein the patient health indicator provides an indication of a need for life saving intervention by medical personnel.

Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods to provide a patient care recommendation. The systems and methods receive patient information and a plurality of patient physiological signals that are related to a patient. The systems and methods are then operable to produce at least one derived patient signal from at least one of the plurality of patient physiological signals. The systems and methods use the patient information, at least one of the plurality of patient physiological signals, and the at least one derived patient signal to provide at least one patient care recommendation.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-readable instructions to provide a patient health determination, said computer-readable instructions comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
-
retrieve a plurality of patient respiratory signals from a respiration monitoring device; retrieve a plurality of patient heart signals from a heart monitoring device; determine a degree of decoupling, where the degree of decoupling is determined based on a ratio of a length of a R-to-R interval within one inspiration cycle to a length of a R-to-R interval within one expiration cycle in an electrocardiography waveform; and provide a patient health indicator based only on the degree of decoupling between the plurality of patient respiratory signals and the plurality of patient heart signals; and wherein the patient health indicator provides an indication of a need for life saving intervention by medical personnel. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 21)

15. A method to provide a patient health determination, comprising:
-
receiving in at least a waveform analysis engine a plurality of patient respiratory signals from a respiration monitoring device that is coupled to a patient; receiving in at least the waveform analysis engine a plurality of patient heart signals from a heart monitoring device that is coupled to the patient; determining a degree of decoupling with at least one of the waveform analysis engine and a diagnosis engine, where the degree of decoupling is determined based on a ratio of a length of a R-to-R interval within one inspiration cycle to a length of a R-to-R interval within one expiration cycle in an electrocardiography waveform, wherein the R-to-R interval within one inspiration cycle and the R-to-R interval within one expiration cycle are obtained from one respiratory cycle; and providing with the diagnosis engine a patient health indicator to an indicator device, wherein the patient health indicator is based only on the degree of decoupling between the plurality of patient respiratory signals and the plurality of patient heart signals; and wherein the patient health indicator provides an indication of a need for life saving intervention by medical personnel. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22)
