  • Systems and methods for determining respiration information from a photoplethysmograph
    Patent number: 9119597
    Abstract: A signal representing physiological information may include information related to respiration. A patient monitoring system may generate a plurality of autocorrelation sequences from the signal and combine the autocorrelation sequences to generate a combined autocorrelation sequence. The combined autocorrelation sequence may be analyzed to identify one or more peaks that may correspond to respiration information. Respiration information such as respiration rate may be determined based on the one or more peaks.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 23, 2011
    Date of Patent: September 1, 2015
    Assignee: Nellcor Puritan Bennett Ireland
    Inventors: Jimmy Dripps, James Ochs, Paul S. Addison, James Watson
  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING RESPIRATION INFORMATION BASED ON PRINCIPAL COMPONENT ANALYSIS
    Publication number: 20140275877
    Abstract: A patient monitoring system may receive a physiological signal such as a photoplethysmograph (PPG) signal. A plurality of respiration morphology signals may be determined from the PPG signal. Principal component analysis may be performed on the respiration morphology signals, resulting in one or more principal components. Respiration information such as respiration rate may be determined at least in part from a principal component that corresponds to a respiration source signal.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING RESPIRATION INFORMATION BASED ON INDEPENDENT COMPONENT ANALYSIS
    Publication number: 20140275879
    Abstract: A patient monitoring system may receive a physiological signal such as a photoplethysmograph (PPG) signal. A plurality of respiration morphology signals may be determined from the PPG signal. Independent component analysis may be performed on the respiration morphology signals, resulting in a plurality of independent components. An independent component corresponding to a respiration source signal may be selected from the plurality of independent components. Respiration information such as respiration rate may be determined based at least in part on the selected independent component.
