Respiratory-based control of medical procedure

摘要

A medical system (100) is disclosed that provides a respiratory-based control of at least one medical procedure. In this regard, the medical system (100) includes one or more appropriate sensors (108) for providing respiratory data on a patient (104). This respiratory data is utilized by respiration assessment logic (116) to determine if the respiratory data has exceeded one or more respiration thresholds and which may be equated with a “sudden” respiratory event. Identification of such a sudden respiratory event by the logic (116) results in the suspension of the noted medical procedure. Patient respiration data may also be displayed, for instance in a color that depends upon its magnitude or level.

主权项

1. A respiratory assessment system, comprising:
a cardiac navigation and/or visualization system having a processor and a display; at least one sensor operatively connected to said cardiac navigation and/or visualization system, wherein an output from said at least one sensor is indicative of a patient respiration; and respiration assessment logic operatively connected to said at least one sensor and configured to: identify an existence of a sudden respiratory event, and automatically suspend a cardiac medical procedure upon said respiration assessment logic identifying an existence of said sudden respiratory event.
