Methods And Apparatus For Using Multiple Sensors To Measure Differential Blood Transport Time In A Patient
US Patent:
2011003, Feb 10, 2011
Filed:
Aug 4, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/535311
Inventors:
Robert Stoughton - Boulder CO, US
Assignee:
Nellcor Puritan Bennett LLC - Boulder CO
International Classification:
A61B 5/1455, A61B 5/02
US Classification:
600323, 600504
Abstract:
The difference in time that it takes for blood to flow to two locations in a patient's body can be measured by placing, on the patient's body, sensors for non-invasively detecting a variable characteristic of the content of the blood at each of those locations. The time of occurrence of a change in that characteristic as detected by one of the sensors is compared to the time of occurrence of that same change as detected by the other sensor. The difference between these two times is a measure of the difference in time that it takes for blood to flow to the locations of the two sensors.
Systems And Methods For Normalizing A Plethysmograph Signal For Improved Feature Analysis
US Patent:
8463347, Jun 11, 2013

Assignee:
Nellcor Puritan Bennett Ireland - Galway
International Classification:
A61B 5/1455
US Classification:
600324, 600331, 600485, 600475
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for analyzing and normalizing signals, such as PPG signals, for use in patent monitoring. The PPG signal may be detected using a continuous non-invasive blood pressure monitoring system and the normalized signals may be used to determine whether a recalibration of the system should be performed.
Systems And Methods For Gating An Imaging Device
US Patent:
8400149, Mar 19, 2013
Filed:
Sep 25, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/567287
Inventors:
Robert Stoughton - Boulder CO, US

Assignee:
Nellcor Puritan Bennett Ireland - Mervue, Galway
International Classification:
G01V 3/00
US Classification:
324309, 324318
Abstract:
A method and system for automatically gating an imaging device is disclosed. Physiological process information of a patient may be derived from a plethysmographic signal, for example, by analyzing the plethysmographic signal transformed by a continuous wavelet transform. Other techniques for deriving physiological process information of a patient include, for example, analyzing a scalogram derived from the continuous wavelet transform. The physiological process information may be used to automatically gate imaging data acquired from an imaging device in order to synchronize the imaging data with the physiological process information.

Systems And Methods For Calibrating Physiological Signals With Multiple Techniques
US Patent:
2012013, May 31, 2012
Filed:
Nov 30, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/956932

Assignee:
Nellcor Puritan Bennett LLC - Boulder CO
International Classification:
A61B 5/021
US Classification:
600485
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for calibrating the calculation of physiological parameters. Two or more calibration techniques may be used to determine a relationship between physiological measurements and a desired physiological parameter, such as a relationship between differential pulse transit time (DPTT) and blood pressure. Different calibration techniques may be used in a serial fashion, one after the other, or in a parallel fashion, with different weights accorded to each calibration technique. When physiological or other changes occur, the calibration data may be stored for later use and new calibration data may be generated.
Systems And Methods For Processing Multiple Physiological Signals
US Patent:
2012002, Feb 2, 2012
Filed:

Assignee:
Nellcor Puritan Bennett LLC - Boulder CO
International Classification:
A61B 5/00
US Classification:
600301
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for patient monitors which apply different sets of signal processing operations to signals to identify multiple fiducials in physiological signals. PPG signals measured at two sensor sites may be processed with a first set of processing operations and analyzed to identify fiducials that allow the calculation of a diastolic DPTT. These PPG signals may then be processed with a different set of processing operations and the results analyzed to identify fiducials that allow the calculation of a systolic DPTT.

International Classification:
A61B 5/021, A61B 5/04
US Classification:
600485, 600509
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for measuring the electromechanical delay of the heart of a patient. An electrocardiogram (EKG) signal may be used to detect heart electrical activity. Photoplethysmograph (PPG) signals may be used to detect heart mechanical activity. The electromechanical delay may be calculated based at least in part on the timing of an EKG signal and at least two PPG signals.
