1. A system for event-driven patient monitoring and treatment of a patient comprising:
a plurality of physiological sensors configured to be coupled to the patient and configured to produce patient-specific data from the patient, the plurality of physiological sensors including at least a blood oximeter;
a treatment device coupled to the patient and configured to administer a treatment to the patient under control of a computer;
a processor;
a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having computer-executable instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
receive patient-specific data associated with the patient, the patient-specific data comprising at least data from the blood oximeter coupled with the patient;
determine a plurality of physiological variables based on the received patient-specific data, the plurality of physiological variables including at least oxygen saturation;
define a state space with DO2 on a first axis and Qp/Qs on a second axis, the state space partitioned into a plurality of possible clinical patient states defined by a plurality of boundaries, the plurality of possible patient states comprising:
(i) inadequate DO2 along with normal Qp/Qs, wherein normal Qp/Qs is greater than one but not greater than 1.5;
(ii) adequate DO2 along with high Qp/Qs; and
(iii) inadequate DO2 along with high Qp/Qs;
determine from the patient-specific data, a current clinical patient state of the patient within the state space, the current clinical patient state being one of:
(a) inadequate DO2 along with normal Qp/Qs;
(b) adequate DO2 along with high Qp/Qs; and
(c) inadequate DO2 along with high Qp/Qs; and
send a signal to the treatment device coupled to the patient so that the signal causes the treatment device to administer a treatment to the patient, the treatment known to address the current clinical patient state.
