Method for respiration rate and blood pressure alarm management
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving an input from a sensor relating to one or more physiological parameters;
determining a blood pressure baseline from the input; and
establishing an alarm sensitivity for blood pressure based on the blood pressure baseline, wherein the alarm sensitivity comprises a first tier corresponding to a normal blood pressure range, a second tier corresponding to a pre-hypertensive blood pressure range, a third tier corresponding to a stage 1 high blood pressure range, and a fourth tier corresponding to a stage 2 high blood pressure range, wherein the alarm sensitivity relates to an acceptable percent shift of the blood pressure from the blood pressure 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 another one of the 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 configured to determine a blood pressure baseline from the data and to establish an alarm sensitivity for blood pressure based on the blood pressure baseline. The alarm sensitivity may comprise a first tier, a second tier, a third tier, and a fourth tier, and each tier may correspond to a blood pressure range. The alarm sensitivity may relate to an acceptable percent shift of the blood pressure from the blood pressure baseline, and the acceptable percent shift for at least one of the tiers is different from the acceptable percent shift of another one of the tiers.

9. A monitoring system, comprising:
-
a sensor configured to sense patient physiological parameters; and a monitor configured to receive an input from the sensor related to the patient physiological parameters, the monitor comprising; one or more processors configured to; determine a blood pressure baseline from the input; and establish an alarm sensitivity based on the blood pressure baseline, wherein the alarm sensitivity comprises at least one tier corresponding to a normal blood pressure range and at least one tier corresponding to a high blood pressure range, and the alarm sensitivity is selected based on which blood pressure range encompasses the blood pressure baseline, wherein the alarm sensitivity relates to an acceptable percent shift of the blood pressure from the blood pressure baseline that if exceeded triggers an alarm, and the acceptable percent shift for the at least one tier corresponding to the normal blood pressure range is different from the acceptable percent shift of the at least one tier corresponding to the high blood pressure range. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A monitor, comprising:
-
a connector port configured to receive input from a sensor related to patient physiological parameters; and one or more processors configured to; determine a systolic blood pressure baseline and a diastolic blood pressure baseline from the input; and establish a first alarm sensitivity for systolic blood pressure based on the systolic blood pressure baseline and a second alarm sensitivity for diastolic blood pressure based on the diastolic blood pressure baseline, wherein the first and the second alarm sensitivities comprise multiple tiers, wherein the first alarm sensitivity relates to an acceptable percent shift of the systolic blood pressure from the systolic blood pressure baseline that if exceeded triggers an alarm and the second alarm sensitivity relates to an acceptable percent shift of the diastolic blood pressure from the diastolic blood pressure baseline that if exceeded triggers an alarm, and the acceptable percent shift for the at least one of the multiple tiers is different from the acceptable percent shift of at least one other tier of the multiple tiers. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
