10 results about "Autoregulation" patented technology

Autoregulation is a process within many biological systems, resulting from an internal adaptive mechanism that works to adjust (or mitigate) that system's response to stimuli. While most systems of the body show some degree of autoregulation, it is most clearly observed in the kidney, the heart, and the brain. Perfusion of these organs is essential for life, and through autoregulation the body can divert blood (and thus, oxygen) where it is most needed.

Blood pressure and autoregulation monitoring

ActiveUS12364441B2Evaluation of blood vesselsSensorsIntensive care medicineMean arterial pressure
In some examples, a method includes receiving a signal indicative of a blood pressure of a patient and identifying at least one first portion of the signal comprising a first characteristic of the signal exceeding a first threshold. The method also includes identifying at least one first portion of the signal comprising a second characteristic of the signal exceeding a second threshold, the first characteristic being different than the second characteristic. The method further includes determining a filtered signal indicative of the blood pressure of the patient by excluding the at least one first portion and the at least one second portion from the signal. The method includes determining a set of mean arterial pressure values based on the filtered signal and determining an autoregulation status of the patient based on the set of mean arterial pressure values.

Determining arterial pressures

An example autoregulation monitoring system includes processing circuitry configured to receive a blood pressure signal indicative of a blood pressure of a patient; determine a derivative of at least a portion of the blood pressure signal; determine, based on the derivative, a characteristic arterial pressure (CAP) value; determine, based on the CAP value, an autoregulation value of the patient; and output a signal indicative of the autoregulation value of the patient.

System and method for monitoring autoregulation

A system includes a first sensor to continuously measure a signal of a renal blood flow of a patient. A second sensor continuously measures an arterial pressure signal of the patient. A blood flow monitor is in communication with the first and second sensors. The blood flow monitor includes system memory that stores monitoring software code and a processor. The processor is configured to execute the monitoring software code to estimate a flow rate of the renal blood flow of the patient from the signal of the renal blood flow and monitor changes in the flow rate of the renal blood flow over time. The processor is also configured to execute the monitoring software code to monitor changes in the arterial pressure signal over time and evaluate a mathematical relationship between the changes in the arterial pressure signal and the changes in the flow rate of the renal blood flow.

System and method for monitoring self-adjustment

The system includes a first sensor for continuously measuring a signal of renal blood flow of a patient. The second sensor continuously measures an arterial pressure signal of the patient. A blood flow monitor is in communication with the first and second sensors. The blood flow monitor includes a processor and a system memory storing monitoring software code. The processor is configured to execute the monitoring software code to assess a flow rate of the renal blood flow of the patient from the renal blood flow signal and to monitor a change in the flow rate of the renal blood flow over time. The processor is further configured to execute the monitoring software code to monitor changes in the arterial pressure signal over time and evaluate a mathematical relationship between the changes in the arterial pressure signal and changes in the flow rate of the renal blood flow.

System and method for identifying blood pressure zones during autoregulation monitoring

A monitor configured to monitor autoregulation includes a memory encoding one or more processor-executable routines and a processor configured to access and execute the one or more routines encoded by the memory. When executed, the routines cause the processor to receive one or more physiological signals from a patient, determine a measure indicative of an autoregulation status of the patient based on the one or more physiological signals, generate an autoregulation alarm indicative of an impaired autoregulation status when the measure exceeds a predetermined threshold for more than a predetermined period of time.
