ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for detecting an alarm in a patient monitoring system during the transient period which occurs after performing a procedure that intentionally alters the patient's state. The patient monitoring system executes the steps of initiating a target mode when the user sets target limits of a physiological parameter, establishing dynamic limits that vary with time, comparing measured parameter values with the dynamic limits, and generating an alarm when any of the measured parameter values falls outside the dynamic limits. The target mode is terminated when any of the measured parameter values falls within the target limits. The dynamic limits ensure that the physiological parameter is monitored during the transient period after an intervention procedure, without generating false alarms.
