1. A method for patient monitoring, comprising:
- receiving, at a medical device, an alarm indication associated with a default alarm threshold for a measured physiological parameter;
detecting that a clinician is accessing the medical device in response to the alarm indication;
displaying an alarm message associated with the alarm indication based at least in part on the detecting; and
storing a plurality of intervention actions associated with an action of the clinician in response to the alarm indication;
determining a first range of values of the measured physiological parameter associated with a plurality of first intervention actions of the plurality of intervention actions, the plurality of first intervention actions indicating that the clinician performed a medical action in response to the alarm indication;
determining a second range of values of the measured physiological parameter associated with a plurality of second intervention actions of the plurality of intervention actions, the plurality of second intervention actions indicating that the clinician silenced the alarm indication and performed no medical action in response to the alarm indication; and
displaying the first range of values, the second range of values, a transition line between the first range of values and the second range of values, an indicator in the first range of values for each of the plurality of first intervention actions, and an indicator in the second range of values for each of the plurality of second intervention actions.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for patient monitoring are described. The method may include receiving an alarm indication associated with a default alarm threshold for a measured physiological parameter and detecting that a clinician is accessing the medical device in response to the alarm indication. After detecting that the clinician is accessing the medical device, the medical device may display an alarm message associated with the alarm indication. The method may further include storing an intervention action associated with an action of the clinician in response to the alarm indication.

16. A medical device for patient monitoring, comprising:
-
a processor; memory in electronic communication with the processor; and instructions stored in the memory and operable, when executed by the processor, to cause the medical device to; receive, at the medical device, an alarm indication associated with a default alarm threshold for a measured physiological parameter; detect that a clinician is accessing the medical device in response to the alarm indication; display an alarm message associated with the alarm indication based at least in part on the detecting; and store a plurality of intervention actions associated with an action of the clinician in response to the alarm indication; determine a first range of values of the measured physiological parameter associated with a plurality of first intervention actions of the plurality of intervention actions, the plurality of first intervention actions indicating that the clinician performed a medical action in response to the alarm indication; and determine a second range of values of the measured physiological parameter associated with a plurality of second intervention actions of the plurality of intervention actions, the plurality of second intervention actions indicating that the clinician silenced the alarm indication and performed no medical action in response to the alarm indication; and display the first range of values, the second range of values, a transition line between the first range of values and the second range of values, an indicator in the first range of values for each of the plurality of first intervention actions, and an indicator in the second range of values for each of the plurality of second intervention actions. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing code for patient monitoring, the code comprising instructions executable by a processor to:
-
receive, at a medical device, an alarm indication associated with a default alarm threshold for a measured physiological parameter; detect that a clinician is accessing the medical device in response to the alarm indication; display an alarm message associated with the alarm indication based at least in part on the detecting; and store a plurality of intervention actions associated with an action of the clinician in response to the alarm indication; determine a first range of values of the measured physiological parameter associated with a plurality of first intervention actions of the plurality of intervention actions, the plurality of first intervention actions indicating that the clinician performed a medical action in response to the alarm indication; and determine a second range of values of the measured physiological parameter associated with a plurality of second intervention actions of the plurality of intervention actions, the plurality of second intervention actions indicating that the clinician silenced the alarm indication and performed no medical action in response to the alarm indication; and display the first range of values, the second range of values, a transition line between the first range of values and the second range of values, an indicator in the first range of values for each of the plurality of first intervention actions, and an indicator in the second range of values for each of the plurality of second intervention actions.
