Patient monitoring system with blood pressure measurement capacity
First Claim
1. A system for obtaining a measurement of a patient'"'"'s blood pressure comprising:
- A) sensing-recording means for attachment to the patient including a memory, sensing means for measuring a predetermined physiological parameter, and means for storing time-stamped samples of the predetermined physiological parameter in said memory as a first data set, andB) a probe for being applied with an application pressure to a measurement site remote from the site of said sensing-recording means, said probe including;
i) means for generating a signal representing a pulse wave form at the measurement site,ii) a probe memory,iii) means for storing times-stamped samples of the signal in said probe memory as a second data set,iv) means for retrieving the time-stamped samples from said memory in said sensing-recording means,v) means for correlating the measurement times for the first and second data sets,vi) means for generating a representation of the patient'"'"'s blood pressure based upon the information in said correlated, time-stamped data sets.

Abstract
A patient monitoring system including a sensing-recording device that attaches to a patient and a probe utilized by attending personnel at a trauma site. After an initial interaction between the probe and the sensing-recording device, the sensing-recording device samples one or more physiological parameters and stores time stamped readings in a first memory. The probe is adapted to take other measurements including pulse data, download the data from the first memory of the sensing-recording device, manipulate the collective data and return data to a second memory in the sensing-recording device. The probe is also adapted to combine data from the sensing-recording device and its pulse data to provide a blood pressure measurement.
