Abstract: An apparatus comprising a housing, a detection system, and a transmission system. The detection system is disposed within the housing. The detection system is configured to measure a blood pressure of a patient. The transmission system is disposed within the housing. The transmission system is operatively coupled to the detection system and is configured to transmit a signal indicative of a blood pressure of the patient.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising a monitor, a blood pressure measuring device, and a controller. The monitor is configured to estimate a blood pressure of a patient. The blood pressure measuring device is configured to measure a blood pressure of the patient. The controller is operatively coupled to the monitor and to the blood pressure measuring device. The controller is configured to cause the blood pressure measuring device to take a first blood pressure measurement of the patient in response to an estimated blood pressure deviating from a baseline. The controller is also configured to cause the blood pressure measuring device to take a second blood pressure measurement of the patient in response to an estimated blood pressure deviating from a second baseline different than the first baseline.

Abstract: A system for measuring ECG data and respiratory data for a patient. The system includes at least four ECG wires configured to communicate a first set of cardiac electrical activity from the patient. A respiratory wire distinct from the at least four ECG wires is configured to communicate respiratory electrical activity from the patient. An electronics device is electrically coupled to the at least four ECG wires and to the respiratory wire. The electronics device is configured to measure the ECG data based on the first set of cardiac electrical activity from the at least four ECG wires, and to measure the respiratory data based on the respiratory electrical activity from the respiratory wire.
