Abstract
A method for monitoring a patient () includes determining () convex hulls for pairs of monitored signals from the patient, and determining whether a perturbation has occurred () in one or more of the convex hulls. This exemplary embodiment () can also include alerting an operator that a clinically significant change may have occurred () in the patient if each of the convex hulls has been perturbed. If only a subset of the convex hulls is perturbed, an artifact has probably occurred ().
