Abstract:
Two methods based on trend extraction have been designed to provide automatic analysis of physiological data recorded on adult patients hospitalized in intensive care unit. We focused our work on the characterization of events occurring on SpO2 signal, this signal being used to detect vital problems. Our aim was to recognize events related to technical or vital problems to assist medical staff in his decision process. Our results show that both methods are able to detect and distinguish between probe deconnection, transient hypoxia and desaturation events.

Guidelines For Measuring Vital Signs
Before taking a patient's vital signs, a nurse would consider and assess the patient's comfort level and ensure appropriate equipment is available.
Correlation between ECG and Cardiac Cycle
A cardiac action potential originates in the SA node and spreads throughout the atria and the AV node in approximately 0.03 seconds. This results in the P wave in an ECG and triggers atrial contraction. The action potential is then briefly slowed at the AV node, allowing the atria to contract and fill the ventricles with blood before...
