Abstract
A method for generating an alarm during the monitoring of a patient with the step of determining a minute volume (MVpat) of the patient, setting a minute volume lower limit (MVlow) and/or a minute volume upper limit (MVhigh), wherein the minute volume (MVpat) is cumulated by means of an increment function into a volume (Vdeficit_kum) when the measured value drops below the minute volume lower limit (MVlow) or exceeds the minute volume upper limit (MVhigh), and an alarm is triggered when the cumulated volume (Vdeficit_kum) exceeds a maximum allowable volume (Vdeficit_apn). Furthermore, the present invention pertains to a device for reducing clinically irrelevant alarms during the monitoring of a patient for carrying out the method according to the present invention.
