Patient monitor capable of accounting for environmental conditions

摘要

A patient monitoring system includes a sensor, a patient monitor and an environmental conditions module. The patient monitor receives signals indicative of measurements of physiological parameters from the sensor, as well as data indicative of one or more environmental conditions from the environmental conditions module. The patient monitor determines one or more measurements of one or more physiological parameters based on the signals received from the sensor and the data indicative of one or more environmental conditions.

主权项

1. A patient monitoring system configured to determine one or more measurements of one or more physiological parameters, the patient monitoring system comprising:
an environmental conditions module configured to determine one or more environmental conditions comprising at least one of atmospheric pressure, altitude, humidity, and temperature; a physiological sensor configured to sense light after it has passed through tissue of a patient and generate a signal indicative of one or more physiological parameters in response to the sensed light; and a patient monitor in communication with the physiological sensor and the environmental conditions module, wherein the patient monitor is configured to:
receive the signal,determine one or more measurements of the one or more physiological parameters from the received signal, and adjust the one or more measurements of the one or more physiological parameters based at least on the determined one or more environmental conditions.
