Abstract: A medical sensor includes a first set of optical components configured to obtain a first set of signals for determining a first regional oxygen saturation measurement. The first set of optical components includes a first emitter, a first detector separated from the first emitter by a first distance along a first axis, and a second detector separated from the first emitter by a second distance along the first axis, wherein the second distance is greater than the first distance. The sensor also includes a second set of optical components configured to obtain a second set of signals for determining a second regional oxygen saturation measurement. The second set of optical components includes a second emitter and a third detector separated from the second emitter by a third distance along a second axis, different from the first axis.

Abstract: According to various embodiments, a regional oximetry sensor may include a light emitting element configured to emit light, a light detector configured to receive the light and generate a signal based on the received light. The regional oximetry sensor, itself or in conjunction with a monitor, may enable communicating adjustments in the administration of CPR to a patient based on one or more characteristics (e.g., pulse amplitude or pulse rate) of the signal generated by the regional oximetry sensor.

Abstract: A physiological sensor includes an emitter configured to transmit light and a detector configured to receive the transmitted light. The sensor also includes a first accelerometer disposed on a first portion of the sensor and a second accelerometer disposed on a second portion of the sensor, the second portion opposing the first portion. The first and second accelerometers are configured to measure a change in motion that corresponds to a change in distance between the detector and the emitter.
