Abstract: A method for monitoring a patient. The method includes connecting a first and a second sets of ECG wires to the patient to receive a first and a second sets of cardiac electrical activity from the patient therewith. The method further includes monitoring the patient based on the first and second sets of cardiac electrical activity when the first and second sets of ECG wires are both connected to the patient. The method further includes disconnecting the second set of ECG wires from the patient without disconnecting the first set of ECG wires from the patient and monitoring the patient based on the first set of cardiac electrical activity when the second set of ECG wires is disconnected from the patient. Optionally connecting the second set of ECG wires allows monitoring in two different configurations without disconnecting the first set of ECG wires from the patient to transition therebetween.

Abstract: A sensing device for acquiring data via a finger. The device includes a wrap having a central portion with a tip wing, a first side wing, and a second side wing each extending therefrom. The wrap has an exterior side and an opposite finger side that faces towards the finger. An electronics system is coupled to the wrap and has a sensor configured to acquire the data from the finger. An adhesive is configured to adhere the sensing device to the finger. First and second attachment portions are positioned on finger side of the first side wing and on the exterior side of the second side wing, respectively, where the first and second attachment portions removably attach to each other to non-adhesively secure the wrap around the finger.

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.
