Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to display features that facilitate observation of monitored physiological data. According to certain embodiments, a monitoring system may include a monitor capable of receiving data related to the physiological parameters and storing data related to the parameters. The monitor may include a microprocessor configured to determine a blood pressure baseline from the data and to establish an alarm sensitivity for blood pressure based on the blood pressure baseline. The alarm sensitivity may comprise a first tier, a second tier, a third tier, and a fourth tier, and each tier may correspond to a blood pressure range. The alarm sensitivity may relate to an acceptable percent shift of the blood pressure from the blood pressure baseline, and the acceptable percent shift for at least one of the tiers is different from the acceptable percent shift of another one of the tiers.
