Abstract

A method for patient monitoring includes receiving one or more first patient parameters from at least one medical device. The method further includes transforming the one or more first patient parameters into one or more gauge display parameters. The method further includes generating data operable to display the one or more gauge display parameters individually in a particular portion of a display device. The one or more gauge display parameters include at least a historical range and a current value within the historical range. The method further includes analyzing one or more second patient parameters to adjust the one or more gauge display parameters.

Claims (30)

1. A method, comprising the steps of:

receiving one or more first patient parameters from at least one medical device;

transforming the one or more first patient parameters into one or more gauge display parameters;

generating data operable to display the one or more gauge display parameters individually in a particular portion of a display device, the one or more gauge display parameters comprising at least a historical range and a current value within the historical range, the historical range comprising a particular color indicative of a frequency of observations; and

analyzing one or more second patient parameters to adjust the one or more gauge display parameters.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more gauge display parameters comprise one or more bar graphs.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more gauge display parameters comprise a lower-alarm boundary and an upper-alarm boundary.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more gauge display parameters comprise a safe zone that includes a range of parameter values that will not cause an alarm to be triggered.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more gauge display parameters comprise a waveform.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more gauge display parameters comprise a target measure.

7. A system, comprising one or more processing units operable to:

receive one or more first patient parameters from at least one medical device;

transform the one or more first patient parameters into one or more gauge display parameters;

generate data operable to display the one or more gauge display parameters individually in a particular portion of a display device, the one or more gauge display parameters comprising at least a historical range and a current value within the historical range, the historical range comprising a particular color indicative of a frequency of observations; and

analyze one or more second patient parameters to adjust the one or more gauge display parameters.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the one or more gauge display parameters comprise one or more bar graphs.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the one or more gauge display parameters comprise a lower-alarm boundary and an upper-alarm boundary.

10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the one or more gauge display parameters comprise a safe zone that includes a range of parameter values that will not cause an alarm to be triggered.

11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the one or more gauge display parameters comprise a waveform.

12. The system of claim 7 , wherein the one or more gauge display parameters comprise a target measure.

13. Logic embodied in at least one tangible, computer-readable medium and when executed operable to:

receive one or more first patient parameters from at least one medical device;

transform the one or more first patient parameters into one or more gauge display parameters;

generate data operable to display the one or more gauge display parameters individually in a particular portion of a display device, the one or more gauge display parameters comprising at least a historical range and a current value within the historical range, the historical range comprising a particular color indicative of a frequency of observations; and

analyze one or more second patient parameters to adjust the one or more gauge display parameters.

14. The logic of claim 13 , wherein the one or more gauge display parameters comprise one or more bar graphs.

15. The logic of claim 13 , wherein the one or more gauge display parameters comprise a lower-alarm boundary and an upper-alarm boundary.

16. The logic of claim 13 , wherein the one or more gauge display parameters comprise a target measure.

17. The logic of claim 13 , wherein the one or more gauge display parameters comprise a safe zone that includes a range of parameter values that will not cause an alarm to be triggered.

18. The logic of claim 13 , wherein the one or more gauge display parameters comprise a waveform.
