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: Provided herein are methods and apparatuses for facilitating clinical acceptance of patient monitoring features. These methods may be used in conjunction with a computer that includes software for viewing the type of display associated with the monitoring feature. The clinical acceptance systems as provided herein may display a new or experimental monitoring feature along with a benchmark feature that a clinician is familiar with. In certain embodiments, the viewing tool may be isolated from the calculation tools so that the computer may include stored files that are in a format ready for display.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein may include systems and methods for detecting events that may be associated with sleep apnea. Some embodiments are directed to a system and/or method for automated detection of reduction in airflow events using polysomnograph signals, wherein the reduction in airflow events may relate to sleep apnea. The PSG signals may be limited to four signals, including data from an airflow channel, a blood oxygen saturation channel, a chest movement channel, and an abdomen movement channel. Using information from these channels, some embodiments may automatically identify reduction in airflow events.
