1. A patient care recommendation system, comprising:
- a diagnosis engine;
a waveform analysis engine coupled to the diagnosis engine;
an input device coupled to the diagnosis engine and operable to transmit patient physical characteristics; and
at least one physiological signal monitoring device coupled to each of the waveform analysis engine and the diagnosis engine, wherein the at least one physiological signal monitoring device is operable to produce a plurality of patient physiological signals related to a patient;
wherein the waveform analysis engine is operable to use at least one of the plurality of patient physiological signals to produce at least one derived patient signal; and
wherein the diagnosis engine is operable to provide at least one patient care recommendation using together the patient physical characteristics, at least one of the plurality of patient physiological signals, and the at least one derived patient signal, andthe patient care recommendation further includes a patient life saving intervention (LSI) recommendation selected from a group of recommendations where the group of recommendations include perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a patient, perform a chest-tube placement on a patient, perform a needle chest decompression on a patient, perform a blood transfusion on a patient, perform cricothyroidotomy on a patient, perform a pneumothorax decompression on a patient, perform hemorrhage control on a patient, perform fluid resuscitation on a patient, provide fluids to the patient, and perform a particular operation on the patient.

Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods to provide a patient care recommendation. The systems and methods receive patient information and a plurality of patient physiological signals that are related to a patient. The systems and methods are then operable to produce at least one derived patient signal from at least one of the plurality of patient physiological signals. The systems and methods use the patient information, at least one of the plurality of patient physiological signals, and the at least one derived patient signal to provide at least one patient care recommendation.

11. A triage category and life saving intervention (LSI) recommendation system, comprising:
-
a processor coupled to at least one computer-readable medium to provide a waveform analysis engine and a diagnosis engine; an input device that is operable to provide patient physical characteristics to the diagnosis engine; a respiration monitoring device that is operable to provide a respiratory rate signal to each of the waveform analysis engine and the diagnosis engine; and a heart monitoring device that is operable to provide a heart rate signal to each of the waveform analysis engine and the diagnosis engine; wherein the waveform analysis engine includes instructions located on the at least one computer-readable medium that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to use the respiratory rate signal and the heart rate signal to produce at least one derived patient signal that includes a respiratory sinus arrhythmia signal; and wherein the diagnosis engine includes instructions located on the at least one computer-readable medium that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to provide a patient triage category recommendation including a representation of the need of care of a patient and a patient LSI recommendation using together the patient physical characteristics, the respiratory sinus arrhythmia signal, and at least one of the respiratory rate signal and the heart rate signal. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method to provide a plurality of patient care recommendations for a group of patients at a trauma scene, comprising:
-
for each patient; providing patient physical characteristics to a diagnosis engine using an input device; receiving into each of the diagnosis engine and a waveform analysis engine at least one patient physiological signal that is related to the respective patient where the at least one physiological signal monitoring device is coupled to the respective patient; producing at least one derived patient signal from the at least one patient physiological signal using the waveform analysis engine and sending the at least one derived patient signal to the diagnosis engine; providing at least one patient care recommendation from the diagnosis engine using together the patient physical characteristics, at least one of the plurality of patient physiological signals, the at least one derived patient signal, and trends in at least one of the at least one of the plurality of physiological signals and the at least one derived patient signal, and wherein the at least one patient care recommendation includes a patient triage category recommendation including a value expressing the priority the patient has to be evacuated from the trauma scene as compared to other patients and a patient life saving intervention (LSI) recommendation produced by a neural network present in the diagnosis engine. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
