Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure relates to monitoring a characteristic respiration rate of a patient based at least in part on a suitable time period that either precedes or follows a triggering event, such as a clinician/patient interaction, where the triggering event may negatively impact the physiological parameter. In some embodiments, physiological parameter values falling between one or more pre-set thresholds may be used to derive the characteristic physiological parameter. In some embodiments, monitoring the respiration rate may provide additional information about the patient's status. In some embodiments, confidence measures may be associated with, or may be used to analyze features of the patient signal to derive information about, the characteristic respiration rate. The patient signal used to derive a patient's respiration rate may be of an oscillatory nature or may include oscillatory features that may be analyzed to derive a characteristic respiration rate.
