Method for respiration rate and blood pressure alarm management
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving input from a sensor relating to one or more physiological parameters and storing data related to the parameters;
determining a respiration rate baseline from the data; and
establishing an alarm sensitivity for respiration rate based on the respiration rate baseline, wherein the alarm sensitivity comprises a first tier corresponding to a low respiratory rate range, a second tier corresponding to a normal respiratory rate range, and a third tier corresponding to a high respiratory rate range, and the alarm sensitivity is selected based on which specific respiratory rate range encompasses the respiration rate baseline, wherein the alarm sensitivity relates to an acceptable percent shift of the respiration rate from the respiration rate baseline that if exceeded triggers an alarm, and the acceptable percent shift for at least one of the tiers is different from the acceptable percent shift of the other tiers.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to display features that facilitate observation of monitored physiological data. According to certain embodiments, a monitoring system may include a monitor capable of receiving data related to the physiological parameters and storing data related to the parameters. The monitor may include a microprocessor capable of determining a respiration rate baseline from the data and establishing an alarm sensitivity for respiration rate based on the respiration rate baseline. The alarm sensitivity may comprise a first tier, a second tier, and a third tier. Each tier may correspond to a specific respiratory rate range and the alarm sensitivity may be selected based on which specific respiratory rate range encompasses the respiration rate baseline. Further, in certain embodiments a blood pressure baseline may be determined and an alarm sensitivity established based on the blood pressure baseline.
