Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Claims

The Patent Description & Claims data below is from USPTO Patent Application 20060276695, Microprocessor system for the analysis of physiologic and financial datasets.

1) A microprocessor system for evaluation of a patient, the system comprising: a monitor having a plurality of sensors for positioning adjacent said patient and a processor programmed to: a) produce a first timed waveform based on a first physiologic parameter of a patient, b) produce a second timed waveform based on a second physiologic parameter which is generally subordinate to said first physiologic parameter, so that said second parameter normally changes in response to changes in said first parameter, c) identify pathophysiologic divergence of at least one of said first and second physiologic parameters in relationship to the other of said physiologic parameters, d) outputting an indication of said divergence.

2) The system, as in claim 1, wherein the processor is further programmed to: a) calculate an index of said divergence and, b) provide an indication based on said index.

3) The system of claim 1, wherein said first parameter comprises at least one of an indication and measure of the magnitude of timed ventilation of a patient.

4) The system of claim 1, wherein said second parameter comprises a measure of arterial oxygenation.

5) The system of claim 3, wherein said first parameter is at least one of the amplitude and frequency of the variation in chest wall impedance.

6) The system of claim 3, wherein said first parameter is at least one of the amplitude and frequency of the variation in nasal pressure.

7) The system of claim 3, wherein said first parameter is at least one of the amplitude and frequency of the variation of at least one of the tidal carbon dioxide.

8) The system of claim 3, wherein the first parameter is measure of the timed volume of at least one gaseous component of ventilation.

9) A method of monitoring a patient comprising: a) monitoring a patient to produce a first timed waveform of a first physiologic parameter and a second timed waveform of a second physiologic parameter, the second physiologic parameter being physiologically subordinate to said first physiologic parameter, b) identifying a pattern indicative of divergence of at least one of said waveforms in relation to a physiologically expected pattern of the other of said waveforms, c) outputting an indication of said divergence.

10) The system of claim 9, wherein said first timed waveform is defined by a time interval of greater than about 5-20 minutes.

11) The system of claim 9 wherein said first and second time series are physiologic time series derived from airflow and pulse oximetry.

12) The system of claim 9 wherein said processor comprises a primary processor, said system further including a secondary processor and at least one of a diagnostic and treatment device, said primary processor being connectable to said secondary processor, said secondary processor being programmed to control at least one of said diagnostic and treatment device, said secondary processor being programmed to respond to the output of said primary processor.

13) The system of claim 12 wherein said primary processor is programmed to adjust the said program of said secondary processor.

14) The system of claim 12 wherein said treatment device is an airflow delivery system controlled by a secondary processor, said secondary processor being programmed to recognize hypopneas, said primary processor adjusting said program of said secondary processor based on said identifying.

15) The system of claim 12 wherein said treatment device is an automatic defibrillator

16) The system of claim 12 wherein said secondary processor is mounted with at least one of said treatment and diagnostic device, said primary processor being detachable from said connection with said secondary processor.

17) The system of claim 12 wherein said primary processor is hospital patient monitor capable of monitoring and analyzing a plurality of different patient related signals including electrocardiographic signals.

18) The system of claim 12 wherein said primary processor is a polysomnography monitor capable of monitoring a plurality of different signals including encephalographic signals.
