A method for monitoring cardiac output (pulmonary blood flow) of a subject, the method including: measuring a first net pulmonary uptake or elimination of a breathed gas species by the subject and a first partial pressure of the gas species at a first time, and at a second time later than the first time, determining a first pulmonary blood flow of the patient at the first time, and determining a pulmonary blood flow of the subject at the second time on the basis of the first pulmonary blood flow, the first net pulmonary uptake or elimination, the second net pulmonary uptake or elimination, the first partial pressure, and the second partial pressure. |
