COMPACT TECHNIQUE FOR VISUALIZATION OF PHYSIOLOGICAL CLINICAL AND BEDSIDE DEVICE DATA USING FISHBONE REPRESENTATION FOR VITALS

摘要

A patient's vital sign measurements are displayed in a fishbone diagram defined by a horizontal line with a vertical line crossing it to form four compartments. The patient's respiratory rate and heart rate are displayed in assigned compartments above the horizontal line separated by the vertical line and the patient's oxygen saturation (SpO2) and temperature are displayed in assigned compartments below the horizontal line separated by vertical lines. Two diverging horizontal lines form a sideways “V” are connected with the right hand side of the horizontal line to define a fifth compartment in which the patient's blood pressure is displayed.
