    摘要: Methods and systems are presented for determining whether a regional oximetry sensor is properly positioned on a subject. First and second metric values may be determined based on respective first and second light signals. The first and second metric values and a relationship between the first and second metrics are used to determine whether the sensor is properly positioned on the subject. The first and second metrics may form a pair of metrics, and whether the sensor is properly positioned on the subject may be determined based on whether the pair of metrics falls within a sensor-on region. In some embodiments, a plurality of metrics may be determined based on a plurality of received physiological signals. The plurality of metrics may be combined, using, for example, a neural network, to determine whether the regional oximetry sensor is properly positioned on a subject.

    摘要: A simultaneous bi-lateral blood pressure system with position indicator has a dual input blood pressure monitor that allows a left and right blood pressure cuff to be plugged and to obtain left and right readings simultaneously. A position indicator attaches to a comfortable adjustable collar that attaches to a patient's neck and is retractably positioned to indicate the position of the reading to be taken. The blood pressure monitor displays systolic and diastolic readings as well as pulse. If there is a significant difference between the left and right readings, then further tests are ordered. The position indicator is marked with measurement lines to allow the user to record the position where the reading is being taken. This establishes a repeatable baseline where further readings are taken from the same position.
