MONITORING PNEUMOCARDIAL FUNCTION

摘要

A pneumocardial function monitor (10) includes a carrier (12) configured to be mounted about at least a part of a trunk of a body of a subject. A sensing arrangement (16) is mounted on the carrier (12), the sensing arrangement (16) comprising at least one element for monitoring changes in volume of the part of the subject's body. A signal processing module (24) is in communication with the sensing arrangement (16) for processing signals output from the sensing arrangement (16), the signal processing module (24) having at least one output for outputting a signal related to respiratory function and/or cardiac function.
