A method of monitoring and/or diagnosing an autoregulation mechanism of blood pressure of a living being using an ECG signal includes recording the ECG signal of the living being, and the recording a pulse wave curve synchronously with the recording of the ECG signal. Heart rate intervals are determined from the ECG signal. A pulse wave transit time is determined for each heart rate interval from the pulse wave curve. A plurality of significant changes in the pulse wave transit times are determined according to a specified criterion. One respective heart rate interval correlated in time with each significant change in the pulse wave transit times is selected as an anchor point. A determined limited number of temporally successive heart rate intervals temporally before and/or after each anchor point are selected to thus generate a limited sequence of heart rate intervals for each anchor point. The method further includes averaging the corresponding heart rate intervals of each sequence of a respective anchor point over all sequences of the anchor points.

A medical system () and method measures hemoglobin level of a subject (). A hemoglobin color scale (HbCS) () is projected into afield of view (FOV) () of an imaging system (). The HbCS () includes a plurality of blood color regions (-), each blood color region (-) corresponding to a hemoglobin level and colored to represent the color of blood at the corresponding hemoglobin level. An image of blood of the subject (), and the projected HbCS, is acquired using the imaging system ().

A controlling device () is configured for controlling a state of an alarm limit of an alarm device (). The alarm device () is configured for generating an alarm signal in association with a monitored physiological parameter of a patient. The alarm limit triggers the generation of the alarm signal. In order to automatically control the state of the alarm limit, the controlling device () comprises a receiving unit () configured for receiving information indicating an administration of a treatment to the patient, a determining unit () configured for determining whether the treatment is administered to the patient based on the received information, and a controlling unit () configured for controlling the state of the alarm limit based on a result of the determination of the determining unit ().
