SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ANALYZING A RESPIRATORY PARAMETER

摘要

Methods and systems are provided that determine whether a patient is breathing irregularly. A system may receive a physiological signal, such as a plethysmographic signal or an end-tidal carbon dioxide signal, from a sensor. The system may analyze the signal for one or more features indicative of irregular breathing, which may be a result of a patient talking, moving, yawning, coughing, sneezing, or the like. The system may also be configured to provide an indication of the irregular breathing.

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, via a monitor, a physiological signal from a sensor; determining, via the monitor, whether one or more features indicative of irregular breathing are present in the physiological signal; providing, via the monitor, an indication of irregular breathing based at least in part upon a determination that one or more features indicative of irregular breathing are present in the physiological signal; determining, via the monitor, a respiration rate based at least in part upon the physiological signal; and displaying, via the monitor, the respiration rate based at least in part upon a determination that the one or more features indicative of irregular breathing are not present in the physiological signal, wherein the monitor does not display the respiration rate based upon the determination that the one or more features indicative of irregular breathing are present in the physiological signal.
