    摘要: Embodiments may include systems and methods capable of processing an original signal by selecting and mirroring portions of the signal to create new signals. Any suitable number of new signals may be created from the original signal and scalograms may be derived at least in part from the new signals. Regions of the scalograms may be selected based on a characteristic of the original signal. The selected regions may be concatenated, and a sum along amplitudes across time may be applied to the concatenated regions. Desired information, such as respiration information within the original signal, may be determined from the sum along amplitudes across time.

    摘要: One or more physiological conditions of a patient can be observed by obtaining a photoplethysmograph (“PPG”) signal from the patient and by only lightly filtering that signal. The light filtering of the PPG may be such as to only remove (for example) high frequency noise from that signal, while leaving in the signal most or all frequency components that are due to physiological events in the patient. In this way, such physiological events can be observed via a visual display of the lightly filtered PPG signal and/or via other signal processing of the lightly filtered PPG signal to automatically extract certain physiological parameters or characteristics from that signal.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to signal processing and, more particularly, relates to determining the slope of a signal. In embodiments, first slopes between a first point in the signal and other points in the signal may be determined. Second slopes between a second point in the signal and other points in the signal may also be determined. The first and second slopes may be used to generate a histogram, and a desired slope may be selected from the preferred value of the histogram. In an embodiment, a two-dimensional Lissajous figure may be selected from a three-dimensional Lissajous figure and a histogram of the slopes within the selected Lissajous figure may be created to determine the desired slope. The desired slope may have clinical relevance (e.g., it may be used to determine a patient's blood oxygen saturation level). The three-dimensional Lissajous figure may be derived at least in part from surface signals related to two transform-surfaces. Each transform-surface may be the result of performing a continuous wavelet transform on a signal. A confidence measure may be generated with respect to determining the desired slope.

    摘要: According to embodiments, systems, devices, and methods for ridge selection in scalograms are disclosed. Ridges or ridge components are features within a scalogram which may be computed from a signal such as a physiological (e.g., photoplethysmographic) signal. Ridges may be identified from one or more scalograms of the signal. Parameters characterizing these ridges may be determined. Based at least in part on these parameters, a ridge density distribution function is determined. A ridge is selected from analyzing this ridge density distribution function. In some embodiments, the selected ridge is used to determine a physiological parameter such as respiration rate.

    摘要: The present disclosure is directed towards embodiments of systems and methods for discriminating (e.g., masking out) scale bands that are determined to be not of interest from a scalogram derived from a continuous wavelet transform of a signal. Techniques for determining whether a scale band is not of interest include, for example, determining whether a scale band's amplitude is being modulated by one or more other bands in the scalogram. Another technique involves determining whether a scale band is located between two other bands and has energy less than that of its neighboring bands. Another technique involves determining whether a scale band is located at about half the scale of another, more dominant (i.e., higher energy) band.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a sensor with color-coded indications that various patient physiological parameters are being monitored, such as blood oxygen saturation, blood pressure, respiration rate, and respiration effort. The sensor may sense a physical characteristic used to monitor the physiological parameter, and a visible light emitter emits visible light of a first color that is color-coded to the physiological parameter, but is not used to sense the physical characteristic. The visible light emitter may emit visibly flashing light in response to the sensor sensing a threshold value of the physical characteristic. The sensor may include a second light emitter that may sense the physical characteristic, and may emit light of a second color that is color-coded to a first or second physiological parameter. In some embodiments, the first and second colors may visibly mix. The first and second visible light emitters may emit light independently, including visibly flashing light.

    摘要: Methods and systems for determining blood pressure from a pressure signal are disclosed. A patient's blood pressure may be determined by analyzing features of a wavelet transformation of a pressure signal obtained during an occlusion procedure. Ridges in a scalogram of the transformed signal may be identified and used to determine an envelope of a pressure oscillation signal, to which oscillometric blood pressure determination techniques may be applied.
