Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical monitoring technology, and in particular to an alarm management method, monitoring equipment, monitoring system, and readable storage medium. Background Technology
[0002] Monitoring devices can monitor patients by acquiring their physiological parameters. When the values of a patient's physiological parameters exceed preset alarm thresholds (e.g., above the upper alarm threshold or below the lower alarm threshold), the monitoring device will generate an alarm, including an audible alarm or a visual alarm, to alert medical staff to pay attention to the patient and to intervene according to the alarm threshold.
[0003] Because physiological parameters vary greatly among different patients, the default alarm limits of existing monitoring equipment are often unsuitable for some special patients. For example, when a patient is first admitted to the hospital, their physiological parameters are relatively high, prone to fluctuation, and cannot be reduced in a short period of time, resulting in the monitoring equipment generating more repeated alarms and causing alarm fatigue.
[0004] To address these issues, medical staff typically need to adjust the corresponding alarm thresholds based on the patient's actual condition to reduce recurring alarms. However, due to unfamiliarity with the operation manual, forgetting / misremembering the linkage between alarm limits for different types of alarm parameters, or even being unaware of the linkage between alarm limits for different types of alarm parameters, it is difficult for medical staff to quickly and easily adjust the current alarm threshold to the target alarm threshold. If they fail to adjust it after multiple attempts, they may give up. This complex and disorganized alarm limit setting process causes a lot of trouble for medical staff, leading to more recurring alarms from the monitoring equipment and causing alarm fatigue. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, it is necessary for the present invention to provide an alarm management method, a monitoring device, a monitoring system, and a readable storage medium to solve the above problems.
[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide an alarm management method applied to a monitoring device, wherein the monitoring device displays an alarm parameter setting interface, the alarm parameter setting interface including indicator icons for at least one type of alarm limit, and the alarm management method includes the following steps:
[0007] Receive a first adjustment instruction for a first type of alarm limit, and obtain the desired adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit according to the first adjustment instruction;
[0008] When it is determined that the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit meets the preset first boundary condition, the control outputs a first prompt message, wherein the first prompt message is used to remind the user to adjust at least one second type of alarm limit that is linked to the first type of alarm limit;
[0009] Receive a second adjustment instruction for the at least one second type of alarm limit, and obtain the desired adjustment value of the at least one second type of alarm limit according to the second adjustment instruction;
[0010] When it is determined that the expected adjustment value of the at least one second-type alarm limit does not meet the preset second boundary condition, the expected adjustment value of the at least one second-type alarm limit is set to at least one second-type target alarm limit accordingly; and
[0011] The first type of target alarm limit is set based on the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit.
[0012] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention provide a monitoring device, including a processor and a display, wherein the display is used to display an alarm parameter setting interface, the alarm parameter setting interface including indicator diagrams of at least one type of alarm limit, and the processor is used to:
[0013] Receive a first adjustment instruction for a first type of alarm limit, and obtain the desired adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit according to the first adjustment instruction;
[0014] When it is determined that the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit meets the preset first boundary condition, the control outputs a first prompt message, wherein the first prompt message is used to remind the user to adjust at least one second type of alarm limit that is linked to the first type of alarm limit;
[0015] Receive a second adjustment instruction for the at least one second type of alarm limit, and obtain the desired adjustment value of the at least one second type of alarm limit according to the second adjustment instruction;
[0016] When it is determined that the expected adjustment value of the at least one second-type alarm limit does not meet the preset second boundary condition, the expected adjustment value of the at least one second-type alarm limit is set to at least one second-type target alarm limit accordingly; and
[0017] The first type of target alarm limit is set based on the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit.
[0018] Thirdly, embodiments of the present invention provide a monitoring system, including the aforementioned monitoring device.
[0019] Fourthly, embodiments of the present invention provide a readable storage medium storing an interactive program, which is executed by a processor to perform the above-described alarm management method.
[0020] This invention provides an alarm management method, a monitoring device, a monitoring system, and a readable storage medium. The alarm management method includes the following steps: receiving a first adjustment instruction for a first type of alarm limit, and obtaining a desired adjustment value for the first type of alarm limit according to the first adjustment instruction; when it is determined that the desired adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit meets a preset first boundary condition, controlling the output of a first prompt message, wherein the first prompt message is used to remind the user to adjust at least one second type of alarm limit linked to the first type of alarm limit; receiving a second adjustment instruction for the at least one second type of alarm limit, and obtaining a desired adjustment value for the at least one second type of alarm limit according to the second adjustment instruction; when it is determined that the desired adjustment value of the at least one second type of alarm limit does not meet a preset second boundary condition, setting the desired adjustment value of the at least one second type of alarm limit as at least one second type of target alarm limit; and setting a first type of target alarm limit according to the desired adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit. Thus, when the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit meets the preset first boundary condition, a first prompt message is output to remind the user to prioritize adjusting at least one second type of alarm limit that is linked with the first type of alarm limit. This helps medical staff quickly understand the linkage relationship between different types of alarm limits, so as to efficiently and easily complete the setting of the first type of alarm limit. This eliminates the trouble caused to medical staff by the complicated and disordered alarm limit setting steps, and avoids alarm fatigue. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0033] It is understood that the terminology in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application is for describing specific embodiments only and is not intended to limit this application. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order. Unless the context clearly states otherwise, the singular forms "a" and "described" are also intended to include the plural forms. The term "comprising," and any variations thereof, is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or devices. Furthermore, this application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. The purpose of providing the following specific embodiments is to facilitate a clearer and more thorough understanding of the disclosure of this application, wherein terms indicating orientation such as up, down, left, and right refer only to the position of the illustrated structure in the corresponding drawings.
[0034] In the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application, the term "first type of alarm limit" refers to an alarm limit that adjusts any alarm limit to a target alarm limit. The term "second type of alarm limit" refers to an alarm limit that, during the adjustment of the first type of alarm limit, constrains the first type of alarm limit to be adjusted to the first type of target alarm limit. The term "linkage" refers to several related alarm limits, where a change in one alarm limit requires the other alarm limits to change accordingly. That is, related alarm limits change in a linked manner to satisfy preset alarm parameter linkage rules. For example, there is a "linkage" relationship between different alarm limits of each type of alarm parameter, meaning that the "high alarm limit" cannot be higher than the "ultra-high alarm limit," and the "low alarm limit" cannot be lower than the "ultra-low alarm limit."
[0035] The following description provides preferred embodiments for carrying out this application; however, this description is for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of this application and is not intended to limit the scope of this application. The scope of protection of this application shall be determined by the appended claims.
[0036] Currently, traditional patient monitors simply display all alarm limit settings on the alarm parameter setting interface, without any mechanism to guide or remind medical staff to configure these complex and disorganized alarm limits. Therefore, during alarm limit settings, if medical staff are unfamiliar with the operation manual, forget / misremember the linkage between alarm limits corresponding to different types of alarm parameters, or are unaware of this linkage, they will find it difficult to quickly and easily adjust the current alarm threshold to the target threshold. Furthermore, if they fail to adjust it successfully after multiple attempts, they may give up. This complex and disorganized alarm limit setting process causes considerable confusion for medical staff, leading to numerous repetitive alarms from the monitoring equipment and causing alarm fatigue.
[0037] Furthermore, while the "ceiling" effect of alarm parameter linkage rules can ensure the monitoring safety of monitoring equipment, it also limits the ease of adjusting alarm limits. For example, if medical staff want to adjust the alarm upper limit of non-invasive blood pressure systolic pressure from 160 mmHg to 180 mmHg, existing monitoring equipment typically sets the maximum parameter value of the alarm upper limit of non-invasive blood pressure systolic pressure to 170 mmHg and the extreme alarm upper limit of non-invasive blood pressure systolic pressure to 175 mmHg. Therefore, medical staff can only adjust the alarm upper limit of non-invasive blood pressure systolic pressure to 170 mmHg. The monitoring equipment lacks any mechanism to remind medical staff that they need to first adjust the extreme alarm upper limit of non-invasive blood pressure systolic pressure from 175 mmHg to above 180 mmHg to readjust the maximum parameter value of the alarm upper limit of non-invasive blood pressure systolic pressure. Ultimately, this leads to medical staff failing to adjust the alarm upper limit of non-invasive blood pressure systolic pressure, resulting in numerous repeated alarms from the monitoring equipment and causing alarm fatigue.
[0038] This invention provides an alarm management method, a monitoring device, a monitoring system, and a readable storage medium. The alarm management method includes the following steps: receiving a first adjustment instruction for a first type of alarm limit, and obtaining a desired adjustment value for the first type of alarm limit according to the first adjustment instruction; when it is determined that the desired adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit meets a preset first boundary condition, controlling the output of a first prompt message, wherein the first prompt message is used to remind the user to adjust at least one second type of alarm limit linked to the first type of alarm limit; receiving a second adjustment instruction for the at least one second type of alarm limit, and obtaining a desired adjustment value for the at least one second type of alarm limit according to the second adjustment instruction; when it is determined that the desired adjustment value of the at least one second type of alarm limit does not meet a preset second boundary condition, setting the desired adjustment value of the at least one second type of alarm limit as at least one second type of target alarm limit; and setting a first type of target alarm limit according to the desired adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit. Thus, when the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit meets the preset first boundary condition, a first prompt message is output to remind the user to prioritize adjusting at least one second type of alarm limit that is linked with the first type of alarm limit. This helps medical staff quickly understand the linkage relationship between different types of alarm limits, so as to efficiently and easily complete the setting of the first type of alarm limit. This eliminates the trouble caused to medical staff by the complicated and disordered alarm limit setting steps, and avoids alarm fatigue.
[0039] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 The diagram shows a schematic representation of a monitoring system 1000 provided in an embodiment of this application. The monitoring system 1000 includes a monitoring device 100 and a third-party device 300. The monitoring device 100 is used to monitor the patient's parameters. The monitoring device 100 is also communicatively connected to the third-party device 300, which receives monitoring data sent by the monitoring device 100 and performs centralized monitoring of the monitoring data.
[0040] In some embodiments, the monitoring device 100 can be, but is not limited to, any one of a monitor, a local central station, a remote central station, a cloud service system, or a mobile terminal. In this embodiment, the monitoring device 100 can be a monitor, and the third-party device 300 can be any one of a local central station, a remote central station, a cloud service system, or a mobile terminal.
[0041] The monitoring device 100 includes, but is not limited to, a processor 20 and a display 30. The display 30 is used to display an alarm parameter setting interface, which includes an indicator diagram of at least one type of alarm limit. The processor 20 is used to: receive a first adjustment instruction for a first type of alarm limit and obtain a desired adjustment value for the first type of alarm limit according to the first adjustment instruction; when it is determined that the desired adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit meets a preset first boundary condition, control the output of a first prompt message, wherein the first prompt message is used to remind the user to adjust at least one second type of alarm limit linked to the first type of alarm limit; receive a second adjustment instruction for the at least one second type of alarm limit and obtain a desired adjustment value for the at least one second type of alarm limit according to the second adjustment instruction; when it is determined that the desired adjustment value of the at least one second type of alarm limit does not meet a preset second boundary condition, set the desired adjustment value of the at least one second type of alarm limit as at least one second type of target alarm limit; and set a first type of target alarm limit according to the desired adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit.
[0042] Thus, when the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit meets the preset first boundary condition, a first prompt message is output to remind the user to prioritize adjusting at least one second type of alarm limit that is linked with the first type of alarm limit. This helps medical staff quickly understand the linkage relationship between different types of alarm limits, so as to efficiently and easily complete the setting of the first type of alarm limit. This eliminates the trouble caused to medical staff by the complicated and disordered alarm limit setting steps, and avoids alarm fatigue.
[0043] The display 30 is used to provide a visual display output for the user. Specifically, the display 30 can be used to provide a visual display interface for the user, such as, but not limited to, a parameter interface and an alarm parameter setting interface. The parameter interface displayed on the display 30 is used to display the monitoring parameter data. The alarm parameter setting interface displayed on the display 30 includes indicator icons for at least one type of alarm limit, allowing the user to adjust the corresponding alarm limit. The display 30 can be a touch display or a display 30 with an input panel.
[0044] Those skilled in the art should understand that the aforementioned Figure 1 This is merely an example of a monitoring system 1000 and does not constitute a limitation on the monitoring system 1000. Furthermore, the monitoring device 100 and the monitoring system 1000 may include, but are not limited to, other types of monitoring systems. Figure 1 The monitor may include more or fewer components, or a combination of certain components, or different components. For example, the monitor 100 may also include a power module, and the monitor system 1000 may also include a printer.
[0045] In some embodiments, the monitoring device 100 further includes, but is not limited to, a sensor 10 communicatively connected to the processor 20. The sensor 10 and the processor 20 can be connected via a wired communication protocol or a wireless communication protocol to enable data exchange between them. The wireless communication protocols include, but are not limited to: the World Wide Web, metropolitan area networks, intranets, various generations of mobile communication networks (2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G), wireless local area networks, and / or Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) networks.
[0046] Sensor 10 can be used to monitor one or more of the patient's vital signs parameters, including electrocardiogram, respiration, body temperature, pulse oxygen saturation, heart rate, blood oxygen, non-invasive blood pressure, invasive blood pressure, exercise, and sleep. Monitoring device 100 can be a portable monitoring device, a transportable monitoring device, or a mobile monitoring device.
[0047] Specifically, sensor 10 collects monitoring parameter data from the patient. These monitoring parameters include physiological and non-physiological parameters. Physiological parameters include, but are not limited to, any one of the following: electrocardiogram (ECG), blood oxygen saturation, blood pressure, respiration, and body temperature. Non-physiological parameters include, but are not limited to, any one of the following: exercise parameters and sleep parameters. Exercise parameters include, but are not limited to, exercise energy expenditure, exercise time, number of steps taken, and time spent out of bed. Sleep parameters include, but are not limited to, sleep duration, deep sleep, and sleep quality.
[0048] In one embodiment, sensor 10 can be independently disposed outside of monitoring device 100 but detachably connected to monitoring device 100. Sensor 10 is used to collect patient monitoring parameter data. Processor 20 is also used to process the monitoring parameter data signals from sensor 10. Sensor 10 includes, but is not limited to, monitoring parameters such as electrocardiogram (ECG), respiration, blood oxygen saturation, blood pressure, and body temperature. Monitoring device 100 is provided with several connection interfaces. These connection interfaces may be ECG / respiration interfaces, blood oxygen saturation interfaces, invasive blood pressure interfaces, non-invasive blood pressure interfaces, and / or body temperature interfaces, etc. Monitoring parameter accessories are electrically connected to monitoring device 100 through the connection interfaces. In other embodiments, sensor 10 may also be integrated into monitoring device 100.
[0049] The sensor 10 can be, but is not limited to, a motion sensor or an acoustic wave detection sensor. For example, a motion sensor is an accelerometer. The accelerometer can be used to collect the patient's motion and sleep parameters. The acoustic wave detection sensor can be used to collect the patient's sleep parameters.
[0050] In some other embodiments, the monitoring device 100 may not include the sensor 10, and the monitoring device 100 may receive monitoring parameter data collected by an external monitoring accessory.
[0051] The processor 20 can also be used to control the collaboration of various functional components within the monitoring device 100. Specifically, the processor 20 processes vital sign parameters such as electrocardiogram, respiration, blood oxygen, blood pressure, and body temperature collected by the sensor 10 to obtain monitoring parameter data, and controls the display 30 to display the monitoring parameter data. The monitoring parameter data includes, but is not limited to, at least one of monitoring parameter data and monitoring parameter waveforms. The processor 20 is used to generate an alarm event when it detects that the monitoring parameter data collected by the sensor 10 exceeds a preset alarm threshold.
[0052] In some embodiments, the monitoring device 100 further includes an alarm module 50, an input / output module 60, and a communication module 70 electrically connected to the processor 20. The alarm module 50 outputs alarm prompts to enable medical personnel to take appropriate rescue measures and to monitor the patient's condition and the device's operating status in real time, thereby preventing negligence by medical personnel or patients and improving monitoring safety. The alarm module 50 is, for example, but not limited to, an LED or a buzzer. The input / output module 60 allows the user to input operation commands. The input / output module 60 is, for example, but not limited to, input devices such as a keyboard, mouse, touchscreen, and remote control, and output devices such as a USB port and network port. The processor 20 also controls the communication module 70 to send vital sign monitoring parameter data and alarm events collected by the sensor 10 to the third-party device 300.
[0053] In some embodiments, the monitoring device 100 can establish data communication with a third-party device 300 through a communication module 70. The communication module 70 can be, but is not limited to, a Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or mobile communication module such as 2G, 3G, 4G, or 5G. Therefore, monitoring information such as patient monitoring parameters and alarm prompts can be wirelessly transmitted through the communication module 70 of the monitoring device 100 to the third-party device 300 in the hospital for centralized monitoring. In other embodiments, the monitoring device 100 can also establish a connection with the third-party device 300 via a cable. The third-party device 300 can be, but is not limited to, a central monitoring service station device or a bedside monitor. The third-party device 300 can also be a cloud service system or a mobile terminal.
[0054] The number of monitoring devices 100 may include one or more. A third-party device 300 establishes data communication with at least one monitoring device 100. The third-party device 300 includes a processor 302, a display 304, a memory 306, and an alarm module 308. In some embodiments, the functions of the processor 302, display 304, memory 306, and alarm module 308 of the third-party device 300 may include the same functions as those of the processor 20, display 30, memory 40, and alarm module 50 of the monitoring device 100, which will not be elaborated here. For example, the processor 302 may also be used to process monitoring parameter data collected by the sensor 10 and control the display 304 to display the monitoring parameter data. The functions of the processor 302, display 304, and memory 306 of the third-party device 300 may also include functions not possessed by the processor 20, display 30, and memory 40 of the monitoring device 100. For example, the processor 20 may receive and process monitoring parameter data directly sent by different monitoring devices 100 through the communication module 70.
[0055] Processors 20 and 302 can be Central Processing Units (CPUs), or other general-purpose processors, Digital Signal Processors (DSPs), Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), or other programmable logic devices, discrete gate or transistor logic devices, discrete hardware components, etc. General-purpose processors can be microprocessors or any conventional processor. Processor 20 is the control center of monitoring equipment 100, connecting all parts of the monitoring equipment 100 via various interfaces and lines. Processor 20 is also the control center of third-party equipment 300, connecting all parts of the third-party equipment 300 via various interfaces and lines.
[0056] The processors 20 and 302 are also used to execute all the steps in the alarm management method described below. For example, Figure 2 Steps S201 to S209 in the process, Figure 10 Steps S101 to S106, etc. Specifically, memory 40 stores program code 401, memory 306 stores program code 307, and processors 20 and 302 are used to call program codes 401 and 307 in memory 40 and 306 to execute all steps in the following alarm management method.
[0057] Memory 40, 306 can be used to store patient information, alarm limit information, alarm event information, and monitoring data. Memory 40, 306 can also be used to store computer programs and / or modules. Processors 20, 302 implement various functions of the monitoring device 100 and third-party device 300 by running or executing the computer programs and / or modules stored in memory 40, 306 and calling the data stored in memory 40, 306. Memory 40, 306 may mainly include a program storage area and a data storage area. The program storage area may store the operating system, application programs required for multiple functions (such as sound playback function, image playback function, etc.), etc.; the data storage area may store data created based on the use of the mobile phone (such as audio data, phonebook, etc.). In addition, memory 40, 306 may include high-speed random access memory, and may also include non-volatile memory, such as hard disk, memory, plug-in hard disk, smart media card (SMC), secure digital (SD) card, flash card, multiple disk storage devices, flash memory devices, or other volatile solid-state storage devices.
[0058] This invention discloses an alarm management method that not only helps medical staff quickly understand the linkage relationships between different types of alarm limits, enabling them to efficiently and easily set the first type of alarm limit, but also eliminates the confusion caused to medical staff by complex and disordered alarm limit setting steps, and avoids alarm fatigue. These are described in detail below.
[0059] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 2 The diagram shown is a flowchart of an alarm management method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the alarm management method is applied to the aforementioned monitoring system 1000. Specifically, the alarm management method can be applied solely to the aforementioned monitoring device 100, solely to the aforementioned third-party device 300, or simultaneously to both the monitoring device 100 and the third-party device 300. In this embodiment, the alarm management method is described using the monitoring device 100 as an example. The monitoring device 100 displays an alarm parameter setting interface, which includes indicator icons for at least one type of alarm limit. The alarm management method includes the following steps.
[0060] Step S201: Receive a first adjustment instruction for the first type of alarm limit, and obtain the desired adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit according to the first adjustment instruction.
[0061] The data types for the first type of alarm limit include, but are not limited to, electrocardiogram (ECG), blood oxygen saturation, non-invasive blood pressure, and invasive blood pressure. Each data type includes at least one parameter type. For example, the parameter type corresponding to the ECG includes heart rate; the parameter types corresponding to the non-invasive blood pressure include non-invasive systolic blood pressure, non-invasive diastolic blood pressure, and non-invasive mean blood pressure; and the parameter types corresponding to the invasive blood pressure include invasive systolic blood pressure, invasive diastolic blood pressure, and invasive mean blood pressure. Specifically, the non-invasive mean blood pressure is less than the non-invasive systolic blood pressure and greater than the non-invasive diastolic blood pressure; the invasive mean blood pressure is less than the invasive systolic blood pressure and greater than the invasive diastolic blood pressure.
[0062] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the data type of the alarm limit refers to the data signal type corresponding to the monitoring parameter data signal of a certain vital sign parameter. The parameter types included in the same data type refer to the parameter categories obtained from calculation or analysis based on the monitoring parameter data signal of the same vital sign parameter. For example, blood pressure parameter signals are one type of data type, and systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and mean blood pressure are three parameter types corresponding to three parameter values obtained from the calculation of the blood pressure parameter signal; that is, blood pressure parameters can include three parameter types. Similarly, electrocardiogram (ECG) parameter signals are one type of data type, and heart rate is a parameter category corresponding to a single parameter value obtained from the calculation of the ECG parameter signal; that is, ECG parameters can include one parameter type.
[0063] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 The image shown is an interface diagram of the alarm parameter setting interface for non-invasive blood pressure provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3As shown, the alarm parameter setting interface for non-invasive blood pressure includes, but is not limited to, parameter type names, alarm switch buttons, alarm limits, and alarm limit setting buttons corresponding to the alarm limits. The alarm parameter setting interface for non-invasive blood pressure may also include indicator icons for alarm levels, alarm output setting buttons, and other functional items. In this embodiment, the alarm limits include alarm high limits and alarm low limits. The alarm limit setting buttons include alarm high limit setting buttons and alarm low limit setting buttons. For example, the parameter type names for non-invasive blood pressure include non-invasive systolic blood pressure (NIBP-S), non-invasive diastolic blood pressure (NIBP-D), non-invasive mean blood pressure (NIBP-M), NIBP-S limit, NIBP-D limit, and NIBP-M limit. The alarm limits corresponding to NIBP-S and NIBP-S limit have the same parameter type; the alarm limits corresponding to NIBP-D and NIBP-D limit have the same parameter type; and the alarm limits corresponding to NIBP-M and NIBP-M limit have the same parameter type. The parameter types for the alarm limits corresponding to NIBP-S, NIBP-D, and NIBP-M are different, and the parameter types for the alarm limits corresponding to the NIBP-S, NIBP-D, and NIBP-M limits are also different. The parameter type names, alarm switch buttons, alarm limits, and corresponding alarm limit setting buttons are displayed using corresponding icons and / or text.
[0064] Specifically, the alarm limits corresponding to NIBP-S include the NIBP-S high alarm limit, NIBP-S very high alarm limit, NIBP-S low alarm limit, and NIBP-S very low alarm limit; the alarm limits corresponding to NIBP-D include the NIBP-D high alarm limit, NIBP-D very high alarm limit, NIBP-D low alarm limit, and NIBP-D very low alarm limit; and the alarm limits corresponding to NIBP-M include the NIBP-M high alarm limit, NIBP-M very high alarm limit, NIBP-M low alarm limit, and NIBP-M very low alarm limit. Alarm events are classified into different alarm levels based on the aforementioned high and low alarm limits, such as high, medium, and low alarm levels. For example, when a patient's NIBP-S value is 170 mmHg, it exceeds the NIBP-S alarm upper limit of 160 mmHg but does not exceed the NIBP-S alarm extreme limit of 175 mmHg. If the corresponding NIBP-S alarm switch is set to "on," the monitoring device will generate an over-limit alarm (i.e., a medium-level alarm) indicating "systolic blood pressure greater than 160 mmHg and less than 175 mmHg," and the indicator icon for this alarm level can be yellow. When the patient's NIBP-S value is 180 mmHg, exceeding the NIBP-S alarm extreme limit of 175 mmHg, if the corresponding NIBP-S alarm switch is set to "on," the monitoring device will generate a high-level alarm (i.e., a systolic blood pressure greater than 175 mmHg), and the indicator icon for this alarm level can be red.
[0065] In this embodiment, the current value of the first type of alarm limit can be the system default, user-defined, or customized by technicians for each monitoring device 100 at the time of terminal delivery. This embodiment does not specifically limit the content of the first type of alarm limit. In some embodiments, the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit can be a specific value. In other embodiments, the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit can also be a range value, that is, the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit can be any value within the range. For example, if the first type of alarm limit is the high limit of non-invasive systolic blood pressure, and the current value of the first type of alarm limit is 160 mmHg, the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit can be 150 mmHg or 170 mmHg, etc. The expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit can also be a range value greater than 170 mmHg, that is, the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit can be any value greater than 170 mmHg, such as 175 mmHg, 180 mmHg, etc.
[0066] Prior to step S201, the alarm management method further includes:
[0067] When a touch operation is detected on the alarm limit setting button corresponding to the first type of alarm limit or when a touch operation is detected on the indicator icon corresponding to the first type of alarm limit, and the touch operation is a preset touch operation, the first type of parameter setting window corresponding to the first type of alarm limit is displayed in the alarm parameter setting interface.
[0068] Upon detecting a first operation on the first type of parameter setting window, the first adjustment instruction is generated in response to the first operation, wherein the first operation includes at least one of a click operation, a swipe operation, a typing operation, and a voice input operation.
[0069] In this embodiment, the alarm parameter setting interface 101 includes an alarm limit setting button 131 corresponding to the at least one type of alarm limit 13. When a touch operation input by the user on the alarm limit setting button 131 is detected, a first type of parameter setting window 102 corresponding to the first type of alarm limit is displayed in the alarm parameter setting interface 101.
[0070] In some other embodiments, the alarm parameter setting interface 101 may not include an alarm limit setting button. When a touch operation is detected by the user on the indicator corresponding to the first type of alarm limit, and the touch operation is a preset touch operation, a first type of parameter setting window 102 corresponding to the first type of alarm limit is displayed in the alarm parameter setting interface. The preset touch operation can be, but is not limited to, a single-click touch operation, a multi-touch operation, a long-press touch operation, or a swipe touch operation. The preset touch operation refers to an operation whose touch parameters satisfy preset touch parameters. The touch parameters can be, but are not limited to, pressing time, pressing pressure, touch area, number of touch points (for example, different touch points can be generated by different fingers touching a designated area on the display 15), or touch trajectory. The preset touch parameters can be customized by medical personnel or preset by default at the factory of the monitoring device 100.
[0071] It is understood that the desired adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit can be set in a way that is not limited to a specific parameter value manually or by voice input by the user, or by the user sliding or clicking to select a preset parameter value option by the system. This invention does not impose any specific limitations.
[0072] Specifically, in some embodiments, the first type of parameter setting window includes multiple first parameter value options for selecting different parameter values of the first type of alarm limit. The step of generating the first adjustment instruction in response to the first operation detected on the first type of parameter setting window specifically includes:
[0073] When a selection operation is detected for any of the first parameter value options in the first type of parameter setting window, a first adjustment instruction is generated based on the first parameter value option corresponding to the selection operation. The selection operation includes the click operation or the sliding operation of sliding any of the first parameter value options to a preset position. The first adjustment instruction is an instruction to request that the parameter value of the first parameter value option corresponding to the selection operation be set to the desired adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit.
[0074] In other embodiments, the first type of parameter setting window includes a sliding window and a slider disposed within the sliding window. The step of generating the first adjustment instruction in response to the first operation detected on the first type of parameter setting window specifically includes:
[0075] When a movement operation is detected on the slider, the coordinate value of the coordinate set on the sliding window corresponding to the current position of the slider is obtained, wherein the coordinate value corresponds to the parameter value of the first type of alarm limit;
[0076] The first adjustment instruction is generated based on the coordinate value of the coordinate set on the sliding window corresponding to the current position of the slider. The movement operation includes a click operation or a slide operation. The first adjustment instruction is an instruction to request that the parameter value corresponding to the coordinate value set on the sliding window corresponding to the current position of the slider be set to the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit.
[0077] In some other embodiments, the first type of parameter setting window includes an input box, and the step of generating the first adjustment instruction in response to the first operation upon detecting a first operation on the first type of parameter setting window specifically includes:
[0078] When an input operation is detected for the input box, input operation information corresponding to the input operation is obtained, wherein the input operation information includes at least the input value;
[0079] The first adjustment instruction is generated based on the input operation information, wherein the input operation includes any one of manual input operation, keyboard input operation or voice input operation, and the first adjustment instruction is an instruction to request that the input value corresponding to the input operation be adjusted to the desired value of the first type of alarm limit.
[0080] Step S203: When it is determined that the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit meets the preset first boundary condition, the control outputs a first prompt message, wherein the first prompt message is used to remind the user to adjust at least one second type of alarm limit that is linked to the first type of alarm limit.
[0081] The preset first boundary condition can be a system default, a user-defined condition, or a condition customized by technicians for each monitoring device 100 at the time of terminal delivery. This embodiment of the invention does not specifically limit the content of the preset first boundary condition. The expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit satisfying the preset first boundary condition means that the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit breaks the preset linkage relationship between the first type of alarm limit and at least one second type of alarm limit. In other words, the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit is constrained by at least one second type of alarm limit linked to the first type of alarm limit. Therefore, the user can only adjust the first type of alarm limit after adjusting the at least one second type of alarm limit linked to the first type of alarm limit.
[0082] Wherein, the data type corresponding to the at least one type of second alarm limit is the same as the data type corresponding to the first type of alarm limit. The data type corresponding to the at least one type of second alarm limit is the same as the data type corresponding to the first type of alarm limit, and will not be described again in this invention.
[0083] In one embodiment, the parameter type corresponding to the first type of alarm limit is the same as the parameter type corresponding to the at least one second type of alarm limit. For example, the parameter type corresponding to both the first type of alarm limit and the parameter type corresponding to the at least one second type of alarm limit is non-invasive systolic blood pressure. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first type of alarm limit is the high alarm limit of non-invasive systolic blood pressure, and the second type of alarm limit is the extremely high alarm limit of non-invasive systolic blood pressure. In another embodiment, the first type of alarm limit is the low alarm limit of non-invasive systolic blood pressure, and the second type of alarm limit is the extremely low alarm limit of non-invasive systolic blood pressure. The alarm parameter type that simultaneously includes the first type of alarm limit and the second type of alarm limit includes, but is not limited to, at least one of heart rate, blood oxygen, non-invasive systolic blood pressure, non-invasive diastolic blood pressure, non-invasive mean blood pressure, invasive systolic blood pressure, invasive diastolic blood pressure, and invasive mean blood pressure. For example, such as... Figure 3 As shown, if healthcare professionals need to lower a patient's NIBP-D alarm lower limit from 50 mmHg to 35 mmHg, the expected adjustment value of the NIBP-D alarm lower limit (35 mmHg) is constrained by the NIBP-D alarm extreme lower limit (35 mmHg). In this case, the parameter type corresponding to both the first type of alarm limit and the second type of alarm limit is NIBP-D. The first type of alarm limit is the NIBP-D alarm lower limit, and the second type of alarm limit is the NIBP-D alarm extreme lower limit.
[0084] In some other embodiments, the parameter type corresponding to the first type of alarm limit is different from the parameter type corresponding to at least one of the at least one type of second type alarm limit. For example, taking a scenario where the number of the at least one type of second type alarm limit is one, such as... Figure 3 As shown, if healthcare professionals need to increase the patient's NIBP-D alarm lower limit from 50 mmHg to 60 mmHg, the expected adjustment value of 60 mmHg for the NIBP-D alarm lower limit is constrained by the NIBP-M alarm lower limit of 60 mmHg. In this case, the parameter type corresponding to the first type of alarm limit is NIBP-D, and the parameter type corresponding to the second type of alarm limit is NIBP-M. The first type of alarm limit is the alarm lower limit of NIBP-D, and the second type of alarm limit is the alarm lower limit of NIBP-M.
[0085] For example, taking the case where the number of at least one second-class alarm limit is two as an example, such as... Figure 3 As shown, if medical staff need to increase the patient's NIBP-D alarm upper limit from 90 mmHg to 110 mmHg, the expected adjustment value of 110 mmHg for the NIBP-D alarm upper limit is constrained by the NIBP-D alarm extreme upper limit of 105 mmHg and the NIBP-M alarm upper limit of 110 mmHg. In this case, the parameter type corresponding to the first type of alarm limit is NIBP-D, one of the second type of alarm limits corresponds to the parameter type NIBP-D, and the other of the second type of alarm limits corresponds to the parameter type NIBP-M. The first type of alarm limit is the NIBP-D alarm upper limit, one of the second type of alarm limits is the NIBP-D alarm extreme upper limit, and the other of the second type of alarm limit is the NIBP-M alarm upper limit.
[0086] In some embodiments, the alarm management method further includes:
[0087] When it is determined that the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit does not meet the preset first boundary condition, the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit is set as the first type of target alarm limit.
[0088] The alarm management method further includes: using the first type of target alarm limit as a new alarm condition to generate a new alarm, thereby avoiding alarm fatigue caused by the monitoring device 100 generating too many repeated alarms.
[0089] Wherein, the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit does not meet the preset first boundary condition, meaning that the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit has not broken the preset linkage relationship between the first type of alarm limit and at least one second type of alarm limit. In other words, the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit is not constrained by at least one second type of alarm limit linked with the first type of alarm limit. Therefore, the user can directly set the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit to the first type of target alarm limit.
[0090] The plurality of first parameter value options include at least one first boundary option, and determining that the desired adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit satisfies a preset first boundary condition includes:
[0091] When a selection operation for at least one first boundary option is detected, it is determined that the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit satisfies the preset first boundary condition.
[0092] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 The image shows a schematic diagram of the first-category parameter setting window, which pops up when the alarm limit setting button in the alarm parameter setting interface for non-invasive blood pressure is activated before adjusting the second-category alarm limit. (See diagram for example.) Figure 4 As shown, the first type of parameter setting window 102 includes several parameter value options, a first upper boundary option, and a first lower boundary option. In this embodiment, the first upper boundary option is an option where the alarm height limit of NIBP-S is greater than 170 mmHg, and the first lower boundary option is an option where the alarm height limit of NIBP-S is less than 95 mmHg. When a selection operation for the first upper boundary option or the first lower boundary option is detected, it is determined that the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit meets the preset first upper boundary condition; when a selection operation for the first lower boundary option is detected, it is determined that the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit meets the preset first lower boundary condition.
[0093] In some embodiments, the alarm management method further includes:
[0094] When it is determined that the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit meets the preset first boundary condition, it is prohibited to set the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit to the first type of target alarm limit.
[0095] When the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit is determined to meet the preset first boundary condition, the monitoring device 100 prohibits setting the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit as the first type of target alarm limit. At this time, the monitoring device 100 will use the current first type of alarm limit as the alarm condition to trigger an alarm, thereby avoiding false alarms and improving monitoring security.
[0096] The preset first boundary condition includes at least one of a first upper boundary condition and a first lower boundary condition. The first upper boundary condition is a condition corresponding to a preset first upper boundary value, and the first lower boundary condition is a condition corresponding to a preset first lower boundary value. The preset first upper boundary value is greater than the preset first lower boundary value. Determining that the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit satisfies the preset first boundary condition includes:
[0097] When the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit is detected to be greater than or equal to the preset first upper boundary value, it is determined that the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit satisfies the preset first boundary condition; or,
[0098] When the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit is detected to be less than or equal to the preset first lower boundary value, it is determined that the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit satisfies the preset first boundary condition.
[0099] Understandably, alarm limits for some parameter types are only constrained by a first upper boundary condition or a first lower boundary condition. For example, the highest alarm limit for heart rate, the highest alarm limit for non-invasive blood pressure, and the highest alarm limit for invasive blood pressure are only constrained by a first lower boundary condition. Because the highest alarm limits for heart rate, non-invasive blood pressure, and invasive blood pressure are not constrained by other alarm limits, but only by the maximum value defaulted to the system by the monitoring device 100, for example, when the NIBP-S alarm limit is increased, it can only be adjusted to the maximum value set by the system, 200 mmHg; when the NIBP-S alarm limit is decreased, it is constrained by a first lower boundary condition (e.g., <165 mmHg), meaning the NIBP-S alarm limit cannot be directly adjusted to a value less than or equal to the current NIBP-S alarm limit, which corresponds to the parameter value of 160 mmHg. Similarly, the lowest alarm limits for heart rate, non-invasive blood pressure, and invasive blood pressure are also only constrained by a first upper boundary condition.
[0100] In some embodiments, the alarm management method further includes: after obtaining the desired adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit, stopping the display of the first type of parameter setting window. This allows the alarm parameter setting interface to have more space for displaying the first prompt information, improving the user's visual experience.
[0101] When the desired adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit is determined to meet a preset first boundary condition, the control outputs a first prompt message, specifically including:
[0102] When the desired adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit meets a preset first boundary condition, the system controls the display of a first character prompt message in the alarm parameter setting interface. The first character prompt message includes at least one of text information and graphic information; or...
[0103] When the desired adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit meets a preset first boundary condition, the indicator icon or associated function icon of the second type of alarm limit is highlighted. This highlighting includes a combination of one or more of the following: highlighting, flashing, color changing, adding a prompt, changing transparency, changing background color, changing font, or enlarging size.
[0104] When the desired adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit meets the preset first boundary condition, the control outputs a first audible prompt; or,
[0105] When the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit meets the preset first boundary condition, the system controls the display of the first character prompt information in the alarm parameter setting interface, controls the highlighting of the indicator icon or the associated function icon of the second type of alarm limit, and controls the output of at least two output methods of the first sound prompt information.
[0106] The first character prompt information includes at least one of a first guidance prompt information and a first processing prompt information. The display of the first character prompt information in the alarm parameter setting interface specifically includes:
[0107] The alarm parameter setting interface displays a second type of parameter setting window corresponding to the second type of alarm limit, and displays the first guidance prompt information within the second type of parameter setting window. The first guidance prompt information is used to guide the user to adjust the at least one second type of alarm limit; or...
[0108] A prompt window is displayed in the alarm parameter setting interface, and the first guidance prompt information is displayed within the prompt window. The first guidance prompt information is used to guide the user to adjust the at least one second-type alarm limit; or...
[0109] A confirmation window is displayed in the alarm parameter setting interface, and the first processing prompt information is displayed in the confirmation window. The first processing prompt information is used to allow the user to confirm whether to set the at least one second type alarm limit to the second type target alarm limit recommended by the background of the monitoring system.
[0110] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 5 The diagram illustrates a first implementation method where, when the desired adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit meets a preset first boundary condition, a first prompt message is triggered to be output on the non-invasive blood pressure alarm parameter setting interface. Figure 5As shown, the alarm parameter setting interface 101 displays a second-type parameter setting window 103 corresponding to the second-type alarm limit, and the first guidance prompt information is displayed within the second-type parameter setting window 103. Thus, the user does not need to trigger the alarm limit setting button in the non-invasive blood pressure alarm parameter setting interface to bring up the second-type parameter setting window corresponding to the second-type alarm limit, thereby facilitating operation for medical staff and making it more user-friendly. The first guidance prompt information may include, but is not limited to, "Please adjust the limit value first!", "Please increase the limit value first!", or "NIBP-S alarm high limit > NIBP-M alarm high limit > NIBP-D alarm high limit, NIBP-S alarm extreme high limit > NIBP-M alarm extreme high limit > NIBP-D alarm extreme high limit," to guide the user to adjust at least one of the second-type alarm limits, so as to efficiently and easily complete the setting of the second-type alarm limits, thereby eliminating the confusion caused to medical staff by complex and disordered alarm limit setting steps.
[0111] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 6 The diagram illustrates a second implementation method where, when the desired adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit meets a preset first boundary condition, a first prompt message is triggered to be output on the non-invasive blood pressure alarm parameter setting interface. Figure 6 As shown, a prompt window 104 is displayed in the alarm parameter setting interface 101, and the first guidance prompt information is displayed in the prompt window 104. The first guidance prompt information is used to guide the user to adjust the at least one second-type alarm limit. The first guidance prompt information may include, but is not limited to, "Please first increase the limit value, and then readjust the high limit value to make it >170!", or "NIBP-S alarm high limit > NIBP-M alarm high limit > NIBP-D alarm high limit, NIBP-S alarm extreme high limit > NIBP-M alarm extreme high limit > NIBP-D alarm extreme high limit," to guide the user to adjust the at least one second-type alarm limit first, and then adjust the first-type alarm limit, so as to efficiently and easily complete the setting of the first-type and second-type alarm limits, thereby eliminating the confusion caused to medical staff by the complex and disordered alarm limit setting steps. In addition, the indicator icons corresponding to the second-type alarm limits can be highlighted, for example, by bolding the font of the second-type alarm limit values, so that users can quickly and easily find the second-type alarm limit to be adjusted.
[0112] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 7 The diagram illustrates a second implementation method where, when the desired adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit meets a preset first boundary condition, a first prompt message is triggered to be output on the non-invasive blood pressure alarm parameter setting interface. Figure 7As shown, a confirmation window 105 is displayed in the alarm parameter setting interface 101, and the first processing prompt information is displayed in the confirmation window 105. The first processing prompt information is used to allow the user to confirm whether to set the at least one second-type alarm limit to the second-type target alarm limit recommended by the monitoring system's backend. In this embodiment, the first processing prompt information may include "whether to adjust the high limit of the NIBP-S limit to 185".
[0113] For example, the confirmation window 105 also displays "Yes" and "No" options asking whether to adjust the NIBP-S limit height to 185. When the user selects "Yes," the NIBP-S limit height is adjusted to 185; when the user selects "No," the adjustment to the NIBP-S limit height is refused. Alternatively, in other implementations, gestures on the confirmation window 105 can be used to determine whether to adjust the NIBP-S limit height to 185. For example, touching the boundary of the confirmation window 105 with one or two fingers and sliding to one side confirms adjusting the NIBP-S limit height to 185; while touching the boundary of the confirmation window 105 with one or two fingers and sliding to the opposite side confirms refusing to adjust the NIBP-S limit height to 185. This provides the user with the opportunity to choose whether to adjust the NIBP-S limit height to 185, improving the user's interactive experience. In this way, after user confirmation, at least one second-type alarm limit can be directly adjusted to efficiently and easily complete the setting of the second-type alarm limit, thereby eliminating the trouble caused to medical staff by the complicated and disorderly alarm limit setting steps.
[0114] Preferably, the first character prompt information is displayed near the corresponding display position of the second type of alarm limit, or the first character prompt information and the second type of alarm limit are connected by a guide line. This conforms to the user's usual observation habits, allowing the user to quickly and easily find the second type of alarm limit to be adjusted, which also greatly saves the time of medical staff.
[0115] Step S205: Receive a second adjustment instruction for the at least one second type of alarm limit, and obtain the desired adjustment value of the at least one second type of alarm limit according to the second adjustment instruction.
[0116] In one embodiment, the second type of parameter setting window can be displayed simultaneously with the alarm parameter setting interface when the first prompt information is output, that is, the first prompt information is displayed within the second type of parameter setting window. Before step S205, the alarm management method further includes:
[0117] Upon detecting a second operation on the second type of parameter setting window, a second adjustment instruction is generated in response to the second operation, wherein the second operation includes at least one of a click operation, a swipe operation, a typing operation, and a voice input operation.
[0118] The method for setting the desired adjustment value of the second type of alarm limit in the second type of parameter setting window can be referred to the method for setting the desired adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit in the first type of parameter setting window as described above, and will not be repeated here.
[0119] In another embodiment, the confirmation window can be displayed simultaneously on the alarm parameter setting interface when the first prompt information is output. Prior to step S205, the alarm management method further includes:
[0120] Upon detecting a confirmation operation for the confirmation window, the second adjustment instruction is generated in response to the confirmation operation.
[0121] The second adjustment instruction is an instruction to request that the at least one second-type alarm limit be set to the second-type target alarm limit recommended by the backend of the monitoring system.
[0122] In some other embodiments, the prompt window can be displayed simultaneously on the alarm parameter setting interface when the first prompt information is output. Prior to step S205, the alarm management method further includes:
[0123] When a touch operation is detected on the alarm limit setting button corresponding to the second type of alarm limit or when a touch operation is detected on the indicator icon corresponding to the second type of alarm limit, and the touch operation is a preset touch operation, the second type of parameter setting window corresponding to the second type of alarm limit is displayed in the alarm parameter setting interface.
[0124] Upon detecting a second operation on the second type of parameter setting window, a second adjustment instruction is generated in response to the second operation, wherein the second operation includes at least one of a click operation, a swipe operation, a typing operation, and a voice input operation.
[0125] The method for displaying the second type of parameter setting window in the alarm parameter setting interface and setting the desired adjustment value of the second type of alarm limit in the second type of parameter setting window can be referred to the method for setting the desired adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit in the first type of parameter setting window described above, and will not be repeated here.
[0126] It is understood that the desired adjustment value of the second type of alarm limit can be set in a way that is not limited to a specific parameter value manually or by voice input by the user, or by the user sliding or clicking to select a preset parameter value option by the system. This invention does not impose any specific limitations.
[0127] Step S207: When it is determined that the expected adjustment value of the at least one second type alarm limit does not meet the preset second boundary condition, the expected adjustment value of the at least one second type alarm limit is set to at least one second type target alarm limit.
[0128] Wherein, the expected adjustment value of the second type of alarm limit does not meet the preset second boundary condition, which means that the expected adjustment value of the current second type of alarm limit has not broken the preset linkage relationship between the current second type of alarm limit and other types of second type alarm limits. In other words, the expected adjustment value of the current second type of alarm limit is not constrained by other types of second type alarm limits that are linked with the second type of alarm limit. Therefore, the user can directly set the expected adjustment value of the current second type of alarm limit to the second type of target alarm limit.
[0129] After setting the expected adjustment value of the at least one second-type alarm limit to at least one second-type target alarm limit when it is determined that the expected adjustment value of the at least one second-type alarm limit does not meet the preset second boundary condition, the alarm management method further includes:
[0130] Output a second prompt message, wherein the second prompt message is used to remind the user to set the alarm limit for the first type of target; or,
[0131] The alarm parameter setting interface displays a first type of parameter setting window corresponding to the first type of alarm limit.
[0132] The output method of the first prompt information is applicable to the output method of the second prompt information. For details, please refer to the output method of the first prompt information described above. This invention will not repeat it further.
[0133] For example, the second prompt information is displayed in the first type of parameter setting window; or the second prompt information is displayed separately in the prompt window; or the second prompt information is displayed in the confirmation window, where the confirmation window displays the second processing prompt information, wherein the second processing prompt information is used to allow the user to confirm whether to set the first type of alarm limit to the first type of target alarm limit recommended by the background of the monitoring system.
[0134] In some embodiments, the alarm management method further includes:
[0135] When it is determined that the expected adjustment value of any one of the at least two second-type alarm limits does not meet the preset second boundary condition, it is prohibited to set the expected adjustment value of the second-type alarm limit that does not meet the preset second boundary condition as the second-type target alarm limit, wherein the second-type alarm limit corresponds to the preset second boundary condition.
[0136] The preset second boundary condition can be a system default, a user-defined condition, or a condition customized by technicians for each monitoring device 100 at the time of terminal delivery. This embodiment of the invention does not specifically limit the content of the preset second boundary condition. The expected adjustment value of the second type of alarm limit satisfying the preset second boundary condition means that the expected adjustment value of the second type of alarm limit breaks the preset linkage relationship between the current second type of alarm limit and other types of second type alarm limits. In other words, the expected adjustment value of the current second type of alarm limit is constrained by other types of second type alarm limits that are linked to the current second type of alarm limit. Therefore, the user can only adjust the current second type of alarm limit after adjusting the other types of second type alarm limits that are linked to the current second type of alarm limit.
[0137] The alarm management method also includes:
[0138] When it is determined that the expected adjustment value of at least one second-type alarm limit does not meet the preset second boundary condition, the control outputs a third prompt message, wherein the third prompt message is used to remind the user to adjust the remaining second-type alarm limits that are linked to the current second-type alarm limit.
[0139] The output method of the first prompt information is applicable to the output method of the third prompt information. For details, please refer to the output method of the first prompt information described above. This invention will not repeat it further.
[0140] The alarm management method further includes: using the at least one second-type target alarm limit as a new alarm condition to generate a new alarm, thereby avoiding alarm fatigue caused by the monitoring device 100 generating too many repeated alarms.
[0141] Step S209: The first type of target alarm limit is set according to the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit.
[0142] In one embodiment, the first type of parameter setting window can be displayed simultaneously with the alarm parameter setting interface when the second prompt information is output, that is, the second prompt information is displayed within the first type of parameter setting window. Before step S209, the alarm management method further includes:
[0143] After the desired adjustment value of the at least one second-type alarm limit is set to at least one second-type target alarm limit, a first operation is detected on the first-type parameter setting window. In response to the first operation, a new first adjustment instruction is generated. The first operation includes at least one of a click operation, a swipe operation, a typing operation, and a voice input operation. The new first adjustment instruction is an instruction to request that the current first-type alarm limit be set to the first-type target alarm limit.
[0144] The method for setting the first type of target alarm limit in the first type of parameter setting window can be found in the method for setting the desired adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit in the first type of parameter setting window described above, and will not be repeated here.
[0145] In another embodiment, the confirmation window can be displayed simultaneously on the alarm parameter setting interface when the second prompt information is output. Prior to step S209, the alarm management method further includes:
[0146] After the desired adjustment value of the at least one second-type alarm limit is set to the at least one second-type target alarm limit, a confirmation operation is detected for the confirmation window, and a new first adjustment instruction is generated in response to the confirmation operation.
[0147] The new first adjustment instruction is an instruction to request that the current first type of alarm limit be set to the first type of target alarm limit.
[0148] In some other embodiments, the prompt window can be displayed simultaneously on the alarm parameter setting interface when the second prompt information is output. Prior to step S209, the alarm management method further includes:
[0149] When a touch operation is detected on the alarm limit setting button corresponding to the first type of alarm limit after the expected adjustment value of the at least one second type of alarm limit is set to at least one second type of target alarm limit, or when a touch operation is detected on the indicator icon corresponding to the first type of alarm limit after the expected adjustment value of the at least one second type of alarm limit is set to at least one second type of target alarm limit, and the touch operation is a preset touch operation, a first type of parameter setting window corresponding to the first type of alarm limit is displayed in the alarm parameter setting interface.
[0150] Upon detecting a first operation on the first type of parameter setting window, a new first adjustment instruction is generated in response to the first operation, wherein the first operation includes at least one of a click operation, a swipe operation, a typing operation, and a voice input operation, and the new first adjustment instruction is an instruction to request that the current first type of alarm limit be set to the first type of target alarm limit.
[0151] Specifically, the method for displaying the first type of parameter setting window in the alarm parameter setting interface and setting the first type of target alarm limit in the first type of parameter setting window can be found in the method for setting the desired adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit in the first type of parameter setting window described above, and will not be repeated here.
[0152] It is understood that the desired adjustment value of the second type of alarm limit can be set in a way that is not limited to a specific parameter value manually or by voice input by the user, or by the user sliding or clicking to select a preset parameter value option by the system. This invention does not impose any specific limitations.
[0153] In some embodiments, the first type of target alarm limit set according to the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit specifically includes:
[0154] Based on the at least one second-type target alarm limit, update the preset first boundary condition to obtain the preset first target boundary condition;
[0155] Based on the preset first target boundary conditions, the alarm limit for the first type of target is set.
[0156] In this embodiment, after the preset first boundary condition is updated to the preset first target boundary condition, the parameter value options corresponding to different parameter values of the first type of alarm limit are also updated accordingly, so as to facilitate the user to set the current first type of alarm limit as the first type of target alarm limit.
[0157] In some other embodiments, the first type of target alarm limit set according to the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit includes:
[0158] A prompt message box is displayed on the alarm parameter setting interface, and a confirmation message is displayed in the prompt message box. The confirmation message is used for the user to confirm whether to set the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit to the first type of target alarm limit.
[0159] After user confirmation, the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit is set to the first type of target alarm limit.
[0160] For example, the prompt message box also displays a "Yes" or "No" prompt asking whether the user wants to set the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit to the first type of target alarm limit. When the user selects "Yes," the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit is set to the first type of target alarm limit; when the user selects "No," the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit is refused. Alternatively, in other implementations, gestures on the prompt message box can be used to determine whether to set the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit to the first type of target alarm limit. For example, touching the boundary of the prompt message box with one or two fingers and sliding to one side determines that the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit is set to the first type of target alarm limit; while touching the boundary of the prompt message box with one or two fingers and sliding to the opposite side determines that the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit is refused. This provides the user with the opportunity to choose whether to set the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit to the first type of target alarm limit, improving the user's interactive experience. In this way, after user confirmation, the first type of alarm limit can be directly adjusted to efficiently and easily complete the setting of the first type of target alarm limit, thereby eliminating the trouble caused to medical staff by the complicated and disorderly alarm limit setting steps.
[0161] In some embodiments, setting the alarm limit for the first type of target based on the preset first target boundary condition specifically includes:
[0162] Update the first parameter value option corresponding to the first type of alarm limit according to the preset first target boundary condition;
[0163] When a selection operation is detected for any of the first parameter value options, it is determined that the parameter value of the first parameter value option corresponding to the selection operation is set to the alarm limit of the first type of target.
[0164] In some other embodiments, setting the alarm limit for the first type of target based on the preset first target boundary conditions includes:
[0165] Based on the preset first boundary conditions and the preset first target boundary conditions, obtain recommended values related to the alarm limit of the first type of target;
[0166] Based on the recommended values, set the alarm limit for the first type of target.
[0167] The number of recommended values can be one or more. In this way, medical staff can set the first type of target alarm limit based on the recommended values, thus efficiently and easily completing the setting of the second type of alarm limit, thereby eliminating the confusion caused to medical staff by the complex and disordered alarm limit setting steps.
[0168] In some embodiments, setting the alarm limit for the first type of target based on the recommended value specifically includes:
[0169] The recommended value is displayed in the first type of parameter setting window corresponding to the first type of alarm limit;
[0170] In response to the selection operation of the recommended value, it is determined that the recommended value corresponding to the selection operation is set as the alarm limit of the first type of target.
[0171] In some other embodiments, setting the alarm limit for the first type of target based on the recommended value specifically includes:
[0172] A prompt information window is displayed on the alarm parameter setting interface, and the recommended value and inquiry information are displayed in the prompt information window. The inquiry information is used for the user to confirm whether to set the current first type of alarm limit to the recommended value.
[0173] After user confirmation, the recommended value is set as the alarm limit for the first type of target.
[0174] Please see Figure 8 , Figure 8 The image shows a schematic diagram of the first-category parameter setting window that pops up after adjusting the second-category alarm limit in the alarm parameter setting interface for non-invasive blood pressure, corresponding to the first-category alarm limit. For example... Figure 8 As shown, the alarm parameter setting interface 101 displays a first type of parameter setting window 102. The first type of parameter setting window 102 includes several parameter value options, a first upper boundary option, and a first lower boundary option. In this embodiment, the first upper boundary option is updated to an option where the alarm height limit of NIBP-S is greater than 180 mmHg, while the first lower boundary option remains an option where the alarm height limit of NIBP-S is less than 95 mmHg. The recommended value may include at least one of 175 mmHg and 180 mmHg.
[0175] In some embodiments, the alarm management method further includes:
[0176] The alarm limits for the first type of target and the at least one alarm limit for the second type of target are displayed according to a preset display style.
[0177] The preset display style differs from the display styles of other alarm limits. In this embodiment, the preset display style includes, but is not limited to, the color, font, font size, font style, font effects, background image, or transparency of the parameter value, or dynamic effects displaying the parameter value. This allows medical staff to quickly and efficiently view the adjusted alarm limits, improving the user experience.
[0178] Please see Figure 9 , Figure 9 The diagram shows the alarm parameter setting interface for non-invasive blood pressure after adjusting the first and second alarm limits, as provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The values of the high alarm limit of NIBP-S corresponding to the first alarm limit and the extremely high alarm limit of NIBP-S corresponding to the second alarm limit are displayed in bold.
[0179] For example, the current parameter values corresponding to the first type of alarm limit and the at least one second type of alarm limit are referenced. Figure 3 As shown, if healthcare professionals need to increase the NIBP-S alarm limit from 160 mmHg to 175 mmHg, the expected adjustment value of the NIBP-S alarm limit of 175 mmHg is constrained by the NIBP-S alarm limit of 175 mmHg. In this case, the NIBP-S alarm limit is treated as the first type of alarm limit, and the NIBP-S alarm limit of 175 mmHg is treated as the second type of alarm limit. Please refer to the following: Figure 4 , Figure 5 Figure 8 and Figure 9Users can slide the first parameter value option corresponding to the alarm high limit (first type alarm limit) of NIBP-S within the first type parameter setting window 102. When the user selects the first upper boundary option corresponding to ">170", the first type parameter setting window 102 stops displaying, and the second type parameter setting window 103 corresponding to the alarm extreme high limit of NIBP-S is displayed on the alarm parameter alarm interface 101. The second type parameter setting window 103 also displays the first prompt message "Please adjust the limit value first!". At this time, users can slide the second parameter value option corresponding to the alarm extreme high limit (second type alarm limit) of NIBP-S within the second type parameter setting window 103. When the user selects the second parameter value option corresponding to "185", the content of the indicator icon corresponding to the alarm extreme high limit of NIBP-S is updated, that is, the parameter value of the alarm extreme high limit of NIBP-S is set to 185, and the parameter value 185 of the alarm extreme high limit of NIBP-S is displayed in bold. At this time, the monitoring device 100 uses the current alarm high limit parameter value of 185 of NIBP-S as the alarm condition to generate an alarm. After adjusting the alarm high limit of NIBP-S, the alarm parameter interface 101 displays the first type of parameter setting window 102 corresponding to the alarm high limit of NIBP-S again. At this time, the first upper boundary option of the first type of parameter setting window 102 is updated to ">180", and the first type of parameter setting window 102 adds parameter value options corresponding to 175 and 180. When the user selects the first parameter value option corresponding to "175", the content of the indicator icon corresponding to the alarm high limit of NIBP-S is updated, that is, the parameter value of the alarm high limit of NIBP-S is set to 175, and the parameter value of the alarm high limit of NIBP-S 175 is displayed in bold. After adjusting the alarm high limit of NIBP-S, the display of the first type of parameter setting window 102 stops. At this time, the monitoring device 100 uses the current alarm high limit parameter value of 175 of NIBP-S as the alarm condition to generate an alarm. The above alarm parameter linkage rules are alarm limit linkage rules of the same parameter type, that is, the parameter type corresponding to the first type of alarm limit is the same as the parameter type corresponding to the second type of alarm limit.
[0180] For example, the current parameter values corresponding to the first type of alarm limit and the at least one second type of alarm limit are referenced. Figure 3As shown, if healthcare professionals need to increase the patient's NIBP-M alarm limit from 125 mmHg to 175 mmHg, the expected adjustment value of 175 mmHg for the NIBP-M alarm limit is constrained by the NIBP-S alarm limit of 175 mmHg. In this case, the NIBP-M alarm limit is considered a first-class alarm limit, and the NIBP-S alarm limit is considered a second-class alarm limit. Healthcare professionals must first increase the NIBP-S alarm limit to 180 mmHg or higher before increasing the NIBP-M alarm limit from 125 mmHg to 175 mmHg. The above alarm parameter linkage rule is a cross-parameter type alarm limit linkage rule, meaning that the parameter type corresponding to the first-class alarm limit is different from the parameter type corresponding to the second-class alarm limit. In this embodiment, taking non-invasive blood pressure as an example, the alarm limit linkage rule across parameter types can be: alarm high limit of NIBP-S > alarm high limit of NIBP-M > alarm high limit of NIBP-D, and alarm extreme high limit of NIBP-S > alarm extreme high limit of NIBP-M > alarm extreme high limit of NIBP-D.
[0181] The alarm management method provided in this embodiment of the invention outputs a first prompt message when the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit meets a preset first boundary condition, so as to remind the user to prioritize adjusting at least one second type of alarm limit that is linked with the first type of alarm limit. This helps medical staff to quickly understand the linkage relationship between different types of alarm limits, so as to efficiently and easily complete the setting of the first type of alarm limit. This eliminates the trouble caused to medical staff by the complex and disordered alarm limit setting steps, and avoids alarm fatigue.
[0182] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 10 , Figure 10 The diagram shown is a flowchart of an alarm management method provided in another embodiment of this application. Figure 10 As shown, the alarm management method is applied to the aforementioned monitoring system 1000. Specifically, the alarm management method can be applied solely to the aforementioned monitoring device 100, solely to the aforementioned third-party device 300, or simultaneously to both the monitoring device 100 and the third-party device 300. In this embodiment, the alarm management method is described using the monitoring device 100 as an example. The monitoring device 100 displays an alarm parameter setting interface, which includes indicator icons for at least one type of alarm limit. The alarm management method includes the following steps.
[0183] Step S101: Receive a first adjustment instruction for the first type of alarm limit, and obtain the desired adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit according to the first adjustment instruction.
[0184] Specifically, you can refer to the corresponding references. Figure 2 The method steps S201 in the implementation method will not be described again here.
[0185] Step S102: When it is determined that the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit meets the preset first boundary condition, the control outputs a first prompt message, wherein the first prompt message is used to remind the user to adjust multiple second type alarm limits that are linked with the first type of alarm limit.
[0186] Specifically, you can refer to the corresponding references. Figure 2 The method steps S203 in the implementation method will not be described again here.
[0187] Step S103: Determine the priority level of each second type of alarm limit according to the preset priority rules.
[0188] The preset priority rules can be system defaults, user-defined rules, or rules customized by technicians for each monitoring device 100 at the time of terminal delivery. This embodiment of the invention does not specifically limit the content of the preset priority rules. In this embodiment, the alarm limits of NIBP are used as an example. The order of priority of NIBP alarm limits from high to low includes, but is not limited to, NIBP-S alarm high limit > NIBP-S alarm high limit, NIBP-M alarm high limit > NIBP-M alarm high limit, NIBP-D alarm high limit > NIBP-D alarm high limit, NIBP-S alarm high limit > NIBP-M alarm high limit > NIBP-D alarm high limit, and NIBP-S alarm high limit > NIBP-M alarm high limit > NIBP-D alarm high limit. The alarm priority rules are as follows: NIBP-M alarm high limit > NIBP-D alarm high limit; NIBP-S alarm very low limit > NIBP-S alarm low limit; NIBP-M alarm very low limit > NIBP-M alarm low limit; NIBP-D alarm very low limit > NIBP-D alarm low limit; NIBP-D alarm very low limit > NIBP-M alarm very low limit > NIBP-D alarm very low limit; NIBP-D alarm low limit > NIBP-M alarm high limit > NIBP-S alarm low limit. The priority rules for various alarm limits can be classified according to the object constrained by boundary conditions or according to alarm linkage rules. This invention does not specifically limit the priority rules for alarm limits.
[0189] Step S104: Receive the second adjustment instruction for each of the second type of alarm limits in order of priority from high to low, and obtain the expected adjustment value of the corresponding second type of alarm limit according to the second adjustment instruction.
[0190] In some embodiments, receiving the second adjustment instruction for each of the second type of alarm limits in descending order of priority, and obtaining the expected adjustment value of the corresponding second type of alarm limit according to the second adjustment instruction, specifically includes:
[0191] The process of "receiving a second adjustment instruction for each second type of alarm limit and obtaining the expected adjustment value of at least one second type of alarm limit according to the second adjustment instruction" is executed continuously in order of priority from high to low until the expected adjustment values of all second type of alarm limits are obtained.
[0192] In this way, medical staff can execute multiple Category II alarm limits in descending order of priority, which simplifies the alarm limit setting process, improves the efficiency of alarm limit setting, and reduces the workload of medical staff, which also saves them a lot of time in setting alarm limits.
[0193] In some other embodiments, the step of receiving the second adjustment instruction for each of the second type of alarm limits in descending order of priority, and obtaining the expected adjustment value of the corresponding second type of alarm limit according to the second adjustment instruction, specifically includes:
[0194] Receive a second adjustment instruction for the highest priority second type alarm limit, and obtain the expected adjustment value of the highest priority second type alarm limit according to the second adjustment instruction;
[0195] Update the preset first boundary condition based on the expected adjustment value of the highest priority second-type alarm limit and the remaining second-type alarm limits;
[0196] Receive the first adjustment instruction for the first type of alarm limit again, and obtain the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit according to the first adjustment instruction;
[0197] When it is determined that the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit meets the preset first boundary condition, the control outputs a new first prompt message, wherein the new first prompt message is used to remind the user to adjust the next priority second type of alarm limit that is linked to the first type of alarm limit;
[0198] Update the second type alarm limit of the next priority to the second type alarm limit of the current highest priority, and return to execute "receive the second adjustment instruction for the second type alarm limit of the current highest priority, and obtain the expected adjustment value of the second type alarm limit of the current highest priority according to the second adjustment instruction", until the expected adjustment values of all second type alarm limits are obtained.
[0199] In this way, medical staff can set the first type of alarm limit and the second type of alarm limit alternately, thereby improving the accuracy of setting the first type of target alarm limit and the second type of target alarm limit, and avoiding the problem of alarm fatigue caused by the monitoring equipment generating too many repeated alarms due to improper alarm limit settings.
[0200] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the alarm management method may also receive the second adjustment instruction for each second type of alarm limit in a non-priority order from high to low, and obtain the expected adjustment value of the corresponding second type of alarm limit according to the second adjustment instruction. Since the user is familiar with the linkage relationship between various types of alarm limits, the second type of alarm limit can be set in a non-order manner until the expected adjustment value of all second type of alarm limits is obtained.
[0201] Step S105: When it is determined that the expected adjustment value of the plurality of second-type alarm limits does not meet the preset second boundary condition, the expected adjustment value of the plurality of second-type alarm limits is set as a plurality of second-type target alarm limits.
[0202] Specifically, you can refer to the corresponding references. Figure 2 The method steps S207 in the implementation method will not be described again here.
[0203] Step S106: The first type of target alarm limit is set according to the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit.
[0204] Specifically, you can refer to the corresponding references. Figure 2 The method steps S209 in the implementation method will not be described again here.
[0205] This invention provides an alarm management method, a monitoring device, a monitoring system, and a readable storage medium. The alarm management method includes the following steps: receiving a first adjustment instruction for a first type of alarm limit, and obtaining a desired adjustment value for the first type of alarm limit according to the first adjustment instruction; when it is determined that the desired adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit meets a preset first boundary condition, controlling the output of a first prompt message, wherein the first prompt message is used to remind the user to adjust at least one second type of alarm limit linked to the first type of alarm limit; receiving a second adjustment instruction for the at least one second type of alarm limit, and obtaining a desired adjustment value for the at least one second type of alarm limit according to the second adjustment instruction; when it is determined that the desired adjustment value of the at least one second type of alarm limit does not meet a preset second boundary condition, setting the desired adjustment value of the at least one second type of alarm limit as at least one second type of target alarm limit; and setting a first type of target alarm limit according to the desired adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit. Thus, when the expected adjustment value of the first type of alarm limit meets the preset first boundary condition, a first prompt message is output to remind the user to prioritize adjusting at least one second type of alarm limit that is linked with the first type of alarm limit. This helps medical staff quickly understand the linkage relationship between different types of alarm limits, efficiently and easily complete the setting of the first type of alarm limit, thereby eliminating the trouble caused to medical staff by the complex and disordered alarm limit setting steps and avoiding alarm fatigue.
[0206] Furthermore, by receiving second adjustment instructions for each of the second type of alarm limits in descending order of priority, and obtaining the desired adjustment value of the corresponding second type of alarm limit based on the second adjustment instructions, the alarm limit setting process is simplified, improving the work efficiency of medical staff. In addition, it avoids simultaneously displaying corresponding prompts for multiple second type of alarm limits, greatly enhancing the user's operational and visual experience, and making it more convenient for medical staff to operate, thus being more user-friendly.
[0207] This invention also provides a computer storage medium, wherein the computer storage medium may store a program, and the program, when executed, includes some or all of the steps of any of the alarm management methods described in the above method embodiments.
