Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: processing one or more signals with one or more signal processors, said signals responsive to attenuation of light by body tissue of a monitored patient; noninvasively, electronically determining measured values of oxygen saturation and arterial carbon monoxide saturation, based at least in part on the processed one or more signals; providing a first oxygen saturation threshold for the oxygen saturation based at least in part on at least one measured value of the arterial carbon monoxide saturation satisfying an arterial carbon monoxide saturation threshold; providing a second oxygen saturation threshold for the oxygen saturation based at least in part on the at least one measured value of the arterial carbon monoxide saturation not satisfying the arterial carbon monoxide saturation threshold; and activating a caregiver alert associated with a display based at least in part on at least one measured value of the oxygen saturation satisfying at least one of the first oxygen saturation threshold or the second oxygen saturation threshold.
