PERFUSION INDEX SMOOTHER
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of determining an indication of perfusion index in a patient monitor, the method comprising:
- receiving pleth data;
calculating at least two indications of perfusion index using at least two different calculation techniques; and
determining a final indication of perfusion index based on the at least two indications of perfusion index.

Abstract
An embodiment of the present disclosure seeks to smooth a perfusion index measurement through use of a baseline perfusion index measurement and/or through the use of multiple PI calculations. The combination of the baseline perfusion index measurement reduces an error between a calculated measurement of PI and actual conditions.

11. A method of determining an indication of a physiological condition using data responsive to intensity signals acquired from a detector capable of detecting light attenuated by body tissue, the method comprising:
-
determining one or more indications of pulse information from data responsive to intensity signals acquired from a detector capable of detecting light attenuated by body tissue; determining a first indication of amplitude data for a pulse based on the one or more indications of pulse information; determining a second indication of amplitude data for a combination of pulses based on the one or more indications of pulse information; determining a final indication of amplitude data based on the first and second indications; and outputting the final indication as an indication of perfusion index. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
