Abstract
A method and an apparatus for use in monitoring are disclosed. The method and system involve the use of a mathematical model. The method and system are particularly useful in the field of patient monitoring when using a physiological mathematical model. A mathematical model can be used to identify an abnormal condition. The mathematical model can also be used to generate an alarm. Also, the mathematical model can be used to generate a suggested treatment for correcting an abnormal condition if an abnormal condition should arise, especially abnormal conditions requiring relatively immediate attention.
