Patent ID: 8639309

Claim:
A method for automatically monitoring oxygenation levels of a compartment of a human body for automatically detecting conditions of a compartment syndrome, comprising: displaying one or more visuals on a display device comprising anatomical locations in which to position a compartment sensor to monitor a compartment of injured tissue; receiving confirmation with a computing device that the compartment sensor is ready; automatically monitoring oxygenation levels of the compartment in a continuous manner with the computing device coupled to the compartment sensor; automatically monitoring oxygenation levels of healthy tissue with the computing device coupled to a sensor in a continuous manner, the sensor detecting systemic perfusion of the human body from the healthy tissue; automatically monitoring blood pressure of the human body in a continuous manner with the computing device, the blood pressure comprising diastolic and systolic blood pressure values; displaying oxygenation levels of the compartment on the 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 with the computing device when both the blood pressure of the human body comprising the diastolic and systolic blood pressure values decreases and oxygenation levels of the compartment sensor start decreasing in value compared to the oxygenation levels of the sensor for the healthy tissue.
