Systems and methods for recalibrating a non-invasive blood pressure monitor
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring blood pressure, the method comprising:
- receiving at a blood pressure monitoring system, from a hospital information system, data corresponding to a patient that is not determined based on a measured physiological parameter of the patient, wherein the data identifies a drug administration event;
determining, based on the received data and an expected effect of the drug administration event on the patient'"'"'s arterial compliance, whether a blood pressure monitoring system needs to be recalibrated;
recalibrating the blood pressure monitoring system if it is determined that the blood pressure monitoring system needs to be recalibrated; and
computing at least one blood pressure measurement of the patient using the recalibrated blood pressure monitoring system.

Abstract
Techniques for non-invasive blood pressure monitoring are disclosed. Data corresponding to a patient may be received from a hospital information system. The data may include, for example, drug administration data, medical procedure data, medical equipment data, or a combination thereof. Whether a blood pressure monitoring system needs to be recalibrated may be determined, based at least in part on the received data. If it is determined that the blood pressure monitoring system needs to be recalibrated, the recalibration may be performed and at least one blood pressure measurement of the patient may be computed using the recalibrated blood pressure monitoring system.

11. A monitoring system comprising:
-
a hospital information system operable to store data corresponding to a patient; and a blood pressure monitoring system coupled to a hospital information system, comprising a processor, operable to; receive the data from the hospital information system that is not determined based on a measured physiological parameter of the patient, wherein the data identifies a drug administration event; determine, based on the received data and an expected effect of the drug administration event on the patient'"'"'s arterial compliance, whether the blood pressure monitoring system needs to be recalibrated; recalibrate the blood pressure monitoring system if it is determined that the blood pressure monitoring system needs to be recalibrated; and compute at least one blood pressure measurement of the patient using the recalibrated blood pressure monitoring system. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium for use in determining blood pressure, the non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer program instructions recorded thereon, wherein the computer program instructions, when executed by a blood pressure monitoring system comprising a processor, cause the blood pressure monitoring system to:
-
receive, from a hospital information system, data corresponding to a patient that is not determined based on a measured physiological parameter of the patient, wherein the data identifies a drug administration event; determine, based on the received data and an expected effect of the drug administration event on the patient'"'"'s arterial compliance, whether the blood pressure monitoring system needs to be recalibrated; recalibrate the blood pressure monitoring system if it is determined that the blood pressure monitoring system needs to be recalibrated; and compute at least one blood pressure measurement of the patient using the recalibrated blood pressure monitoring system. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22)
