    摘要: A method and apparatus for automatically recognizing meaningful patterns in non-stationary periodic data is provided. The invention may be used in making measurements of physiological phenomena, such as arterial blood pressure, wherein data of interest is undergoing small changes in timing and magnitude in succeeding cycles, and wherein noise artifacts are detected along with the data of interest. Data points of interest are identified by grouping all received data points into family groups of multi-dimensional data points wherein each data point in the family group has dimensional values similar to at least one other data point in the family. The present invention may preferably be employed for the determination of a patient's systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels. For this application, the data points include a time dimension value corresponding to the delay time between an ECG signal and the detection of a potential blood pressure sound by a microphone placed in an inflatable cuff on the arm of a patient, and a magnitude dimension value corresponding to the cuff pressure at the time of the potential blood pressure sound detection. Data points are collected for a series of cuff pressures ranging from above the systolic blood pressure level of the patient to below the diastolic blood pressure level of the patient. The highest and lowest pressures of data points in the family containing the largest number of data points are used to derive the systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels of the patient, respectively.

    摘要: A vital signs monitor includes an ECG sensor, an oximetric finger probe, a respiration impedance sensor, a respiration strain gauge, and a blood pressure cuff with a pressure sensor. Signals generated by these sensors are processed by a microcomputer which is programmed to cross-reference data from multiple channels in order to improve accuracy. The microcomputer is programmed to select the more regular pulses from the ECG sensor and the finger probe to arrive at a better measure of heart rate. In addition, the microcomputer is programmed to use the strain gauge signal to remove artifacts from the signal generated by the impedance sensor. In this way a more artifact-free measure of respiration rate is obtained. Blood pressure is measured by using timing information derived from pulses sensed by the oximetric finger probe in combination with signals generated by the blood pressure cuff pressure sensor to determine systolic and diastolic pressures of the subject. A calibrated blood pressure waveform is generated automatically from the oximetric finger probe and the blood pressure cuff.

    摘要: Apparatus which detects ventricular depolarizations originating at an ectopic focus. Ventricular depolarization is sensed at a plurality of areas of the heart including one area within the interventricular septum or near the right ventricular apex. Logic circuity responds to the sensed depolarizations to discriminate between normal and abnormal origination of an impulse propagated through the ventricular conduction system. A signal representative of such abnormal impulse origination may be employed in any desired manner.
