Abstract
A patient monitor for displaying a physiological signal can include a visual element having a middle portion indicative of a transition in the physiological signal between physiological states. The visual element can also include first and second extremity portions, the first extremity portion extending from the middle portion in a first direction and the second extremity portion extending from the middle portion in a second direction. The visual element can also include an actionable value indicator to specify a value about the middle portion and the first and second extremity portions. The patient monitor can also include a processor configured to cause the value indicator to actuate in both the first and second directions according to changes in the physiological signal.

2. A system comprising:
-
one or more respiratory sensors configured to be coupled with a patient and to generate a respiration waveform representing inspiration and expiration cycles of the patient; a processor configured to receive the respiration waveform from the one or more respiratory sensors; and a display configured to display a visual element for representing values of an amplitude of the respiration waveform, the visual element comprising; a middle portion corresponding to a reference position representative of a transition between the inspiration and the expiration, a first extremity portion extending from the middle portion in a first direction, a second extremity portion extending from the middle portion in a second direction, a value indicator configured to visually depict values of the amplitude of the respiration waveform during the inspiration and the expiration cycles, and first and second goal indicators positioned between the reference position and the first and second extremity portions, respectively, the first and second goal indicators visually indicating a goal value of the amplitude of the respiration waveform that the patient is to strive to reach during inspiration; wherein the processor is configured to; illuminate the value indicator responsive to changes in the amplitude of the respiration waveform to expand at least partway toward ends of both the first and second extremity portions during inspiration and to contract at least partway toward the reference position during expiration, and illuminate the first and second goal indicators. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A physiological monitor comprising:
-
a processor configured to receive physiological information comprising a respiration waveform from one or more sensors coupled with a patient; and a display configured to display a visual element for representing values of an amplitude of the respiration waveform, the visual element comprising; a middle portion corresponding to a reference position representative of a transition between inspiration and expiration cycles of the patient, first and second extremity portions, the first extremity portion extending from the middle portion in a first direction, and the second extremity portion extending from the middle portion in a second direction, a value indicator configured to visually depict values of the amplitude of the respiration waveform, a first goal indicator positioned along the first extremity portion, and a second goal indicator positioned along the extremity portion, the first and second goal indicators visually indicating a goal value of the amplitude of the respiration waveform during inspiration; wherein the processor is configured to; illuminate the value indicator responsive to changes in the amplitude of the respiration waveform to expand at least partway toward ends of both the first and second extremity portions during inspiration and to contract at least partway toward the reference position during expiration, and illuminate the first and second goal indicators. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
