1. A physiological measurement system comprising:

  • a noninvasive physiological sensor including;

    a plurality of light emitting diodes configured to transmit wavelengths of light onto a tissue site of a patient; and

    at least one detector configured to measure an indication of the wavelengths of light after attenuation by tissue of the patient and be positioned on a patient and output a signal responsive of the attenuated light to a physiological condition of the patient; and

    one or more processors in communication with the noninvasive physiological sensor, the one or more processors configured to electronically;

    determine a measurement of a physiological parameter based at least in part upon the signal;

    determine whether an alarm condition exists by determining whether an activation threshold has been satisfied by the measurement of the physiological parameter;

    receive, from a user, an indication ofaccess an alarm hold initiator for a parameter-specific alarm suspensionhold period of time corresponding to the physiological parameter, the parameter-specific alarm suspensionhold period of time being selected fromone of a plurality of parameter-specific alarm suspensionhold periods of time, the parameter-specific alarm suspensionhold period of time being different from at least one other parameter-specific alarm suspensionhold period of time corresponding to at least one other physiological parameter for which the one or more processors are configured to determine at least one measurement;

    activate an alarm in response to determining that an alarm activation threshold has been satisfied by the physiological parameter measurement;

    receive determine that the alarm hold initiator indicates to hold an indication of an alarm suspension indication for the alarm condition;

    andin response to receiving determining that the alarm hold initiator indicates to hold the indication of the alarm suspension indication, suspend hold the indication of the alarm for the indicated parameter-specific alarm suspension hold period of time; and

    subsequent to the parameter-specific alarm hold period of time passing, activate the indication of the alarm while the measurement of the physiological parameter satisfies the activation threshold.
