Abstract:
A hidden semi-Markov model is proposed to describe a trend signal for non-invasive mean blood pressure. Based on the model, a Viterbi beam search algorithm working with an adaptive cumulative sum test is proposed to detect change points and recognize change patterns online. Testing results on the simulated signals and clinical signals demonstrate that the algorithm has improved performance over the standard cumulative sum test for change detection, and has the potential to provide a clinically relevant description of trend changes.

This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...
