Embodiment Construction

[0015] figure 1 A physiological monitoring system 10 is shown in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure. Physiological monitoring system 10 includes one or more patient monitors 12 , processor 14 , clinical relevance scoring module 16 and display panel 18 . Patient monitors 12 each monitor one or more physiological parameters from a patient associated with patient monitor 12 . Each of the patient monitors 12 may communicate with the processor via wired or wireless communication paths. Each of patient monitors 12 is configured to monitor one or more physiological parameters and to generate an alarm signal when any of the monitored physiological parameters violates an alarm threshold. Alarm thresholds can be set in each of the patient monitors 12 . Alternatively, the alarm threshold can be set in the processor 14, which communicates with each of the individual patient monitors 12 to receive data related to the monitored physiological parameters.

Abstract

A method and system for assessing alarm events generated in a physiological monitoring system is described. The method identifies one or more qualitative measures associated with the generation of the alarm event. The one or more qualitative measures can include a calculated trajectory of the monitored physiological parameter, the calculated time between alarm events and the duration of the current alarm event. Based upon the qualitative measures, the method calculates a clinical relevancy score for the alarm event. The alarm event, each of the qualitative measures and the clinical relevancy score are presented on a display panel. The method and system can generate an urgent alarm based on the calculated relevancy score. The system includes a processor that calculates the clinical relevancy score based on qualitative measures and algorithms entered into the processor.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to physiological monitoring systems. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to methods and systems for evaluating alarm events occurring in physiological monitoring systems. Background technique [0002] Physiological monitoring systems typically include one or more patient monitoring devices, each capable of monitoring physiological signals associated with a patient. Patient monitoring devices are used by clinicians in a hospital setting to monitor multiple physiological health parameters of patients. In addition to providing a real-time display of numerical and waveform measurements, the patient monitoring device also alerts the clinician when the monitored signal crosses an alarm threshold setting. The patient monitor generates alarm events with a priority level based on the criticality of the alarm. Patient monitoring devices typically provide the ability to configure alarm threshold settings a...
