1. A regional oximetry system, comprising:
- a regional oximetry sensor, comprising;
a light emitting element configured to emit light disposed on a tissue contacting surface of the regional oximetry sensor;
a first light detector and a second light detector each disposed on the tissue contacting surface and each configured to receive the light, wherein the first light detector is disposed at a first distance from the light emitting element and the second light detector is disposed at a second distance from the light emitting element, and wherein the first distance is greater than the second distance; and
a memory device configured to store a baseline; and
a regional oximetry monitor configured to be coupled to the regional oximetry sensor, wherein the regional oximetry monitor prompts a caregiver to provide an input that instructs the regional oximetry sensor to transmit the baseline from the memory device to the regional oximetry monitor when the regional oximetry monitor is coupled to the regional oximetry sensor;
the regional oximetry monitor comprises a processor configured to determine a plurality of regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) measurements based at least in part on the received light over a period of time, and wherein the processor is configured to determine a baseline, wherein the baseline comprises an average rSO2 value of the plurality of rSO2 measurements over the period of time; and
wherein the regional monitor is configured to store the determined baseline in the memory device.

Abstract
According to various embodiments, a regional oximetry sensor may include a light emitting element configured to emit light, a light detector configured to receive the light, and a memory device configured to store a baseline. The baseline stored by the memory device enables a regional oximetry monitor to display the baseline on a display of the regional oximetry monitor.
