SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREDICTING THE VIABILITY OF A BODY TISSUE IN A PATIENT, AND MEASURING DEVICE USED THEREIN

摘要

The invention relates to a system for predicting the viability of a body tissue in a patient. The system comprises a computing device (1), and a first pressure measuring device (2) for measuring local perfusion pressure in the body tissue of the patient. This measuring device is connected to the computing device. A second pressure measuring device (5) is provided for measuring the systemic perfusion pressure of the patient, said second pressure measuring device being connected to the computing device. A feedback indicator (6) is connected to the computing device and is adapted to indicate the viability of the tissue calculated by the computing device on the basis of the measured local and systemic perfusion pressures. The invention also includes a method of predicting the viability of the body tissue and to the first pressure measuring device.
