Zusammenfassung:A method and system for assessing alarm events generated in a physiological monitoring system is described. The method identifies one or more qualitative measures associated with the generation of the alarm event. The one or more qualitative measures can include a calculated trajectory of the monitored physiological parameter, the calculated time between alarm events and the duration of the current alarm event. Based upon the qualitative measures, the method calculates a clinical relevancy score for the alarm event. The alarm event, each of the qualitative measures and the clinical relevancy score are presented on a display panel. The method and system can generate an urgent alarm based on the calculated relevancy score. The system includes a processor that calculates the clinical relevancy score based on qualitative measures and algorithms entered into the processor.
