Patent ID: 8694068

Claim:
A method for automatically monitoring oxygenation levels of a compartment of a human body for automatically detecting conditions of a compartment syndrome, comprising: automatically monitoring oxygenation levels of the compartment of injured tissue in a continuous manner with a first sensor; automatically monitoring oxygenation levels of healthy tissue in a continuous manner with a second sensor, the second sensor detecting systemic perfusion of the human body from the healthy tissue; automatically monitoring blood pressure of the human body in a continuous manner, the blood pressure comprising diastolic and systolic blood pressure values; displaying oxygenation levels of the compartment on a display device; displaying diastolic and systolic blood pressure values simultaneously with the oxygenation levels of the compartment on the display device; and activating an alarm when both the blood pressure of the human body comprising the diastolic and systolic blood pressure values decreases and oxygenation levels of the first sensor of the compartment start decreasing in value compared to the oxygenation levels of the second sensor for the healthy tissue.
