Patent number: 9730633Abstract: Immediately after airway placement and/or following any patient transfer, an automated program may be activated in a CO2 monitoring device to provide an airway device placement check. The automated program needs time to determine if the airway placement has been successful or not. During analysis of CO2 respiration data by the program, real-time feedback is displayed to the user as soon as the airway check program is activated until the time that a final decision on the success of airway placement is made. The real-time feedback displays one or more indicators of the progress of the program toward a determination of a successful or failed placement.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2012Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Saeed Babaeizadeh, Eric Helfenbein, Sophia Huai Zhou

Patent number: 9538933Abstract: An ECG monitoring system continuously monitors a patient's ECG waveform and periodically identifies the patient's QT interval. QT interval values are averaged over time and a corrected interval value QTc and a change in QTc relative to a baseline, dQTc, are periodically produced. An alarm is responsive to updated QT interval values and issues an alarm whenever a selected QT value exceeds an alarm limit. The periodically produced QT interval values are stored and a trend display may be produced showing changes in the QT interval information over different periods of time. The trend display may selectively display the trend information either graphically or in tabular form.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2008Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Eric Helfenbein, Sophia Huai Zhou, James E.

Patent number: 9039629Abstract: A CO2 monitoring system (20) is described which is operable to monitor the CO2 content of respiratory gases during intubation, CPR, or ventilation treatment of a patient. The patient's respiratory gases are sensed for CO2 content (17) and characteristics of a CO2 waveform are detected (30), such as waveform baseline, waveform amplitude, waveform frequency, waveform slope, waveform rhythm, and waveform corners. One or more of the waveform characteristics are analyzed in consideration of the type of respiration treatment being performed to identify an abnormal respiratory condition. These abnormal conditions may include the intubation tube located in the esophagus, ineffective CPR, or an airway obstruction, for example. When an abnormal condition is identified (34) a visual or audible alarm (40) is issued to alert a caregiver to tend to the patient.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2009Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Sophia Zhou, Eric Helfenbein, John Cadigan, William Grube, James Russell, Saeed Babaeizadeh

Patent number: 8233971Abstract: A diagnostic ECG system analyzes lead traces for evidence of ST elevation in the lead signals. The pattern of ST elevation in leads having predetermined vantage points to the electrical activity of the heart and, in some instances, the presence of ST depression in certain other leads, identifies a specific coronary artery or branch as the culprit coronary artery for an acute ischemic event. The identity of the culprit coronary artery or branch is presented to the interventional cardiologist so that the correct coronary artery is accessed and the obstruction cleared. The technique can be used with standard 12-lead ECG systems as well as with ECG systems using fewer or more leads.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2008Date of Patent: July 31, 2012Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Sophia Zhou, Shankar Reddy, Richard E.
