Method and apparatus for hemodynamic monitoring using combined blood flow and blood pressure measurement

摘要

A hemodynamic monitoring device including: a probe configured to measure blood flow in an adjacently-located artery of a human subject using ultrasound waves, wherein the probe is further configured to provide blood flow measurement information based on said 5 measured blood flow; and an input for receiving blood pressure information corresponding to arterial pressure within said adjacently-located artery, wherein the arterial pressure is measured simultaneously with said blood flow, wherein the device is configured to provide ultrasound with a wide beam angle and to restrict the depth of view and minimize confounding signals, process said blood flow measurement information and 10 blood pressure information to provide hemodynamic parameters corresponding to the human subject. 330 Selected gate width 320 310 30" to 600 300
