SIMULTANEOUS MEASUREMENT OF PULSE AND REGIONAL BLOOD OXYGEN SATURATION
First Claim
1. A method for calculating blood oxygen saturations, the method comprising:
- receiving a first light signal corresponding to a first mean path length through tissue of a subject;
receiving a second light signal corresponding to a second mean path length through tissue of the subject;
calculating, using a processor, a pulse blood oxygen saturation based on at least one of the first and second light signals;
calculating, using a processor, a regional blood oxygen saturation based on the first and second light signals; and
calculating, using a processor, a venous blood oxygen saturation based on the pulse blood oxygen saturation and the regional blood oxygen saturation.

Abstract
Methods and systems are provided that allow for the simultaneous calculation of pulse and regional blood oxygen saturation. An oximeter system that includes a sensor with a plurality of emitters and detectors may be used to calculate a pulse and/or regional blood oxygen saturation. A plurality of light signals may be emitted from light emitters. A first light signal may be received at a first light detector and a second light signal may be received at a second light detector. A pulse and/or regional blood oxygen saturation value may be calculated based on the received first and/or second light signals. The pulse and regional blood oxygen saturation values may be calculated substantially simultaneously. The calculated pulse and regional blood oxygen saturation values as well as other blood oxygen saturation values may be displayed simultaneously in a preconfigured portion of a display.
