METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETECTING A CRITICAL HEMODYNAMIC EVENT OF A PATIENT

摘要

The invention relates to a method and a device for detecting a critical physiological state of a patient, especially for detecting a critical hemodynamic event. A set of values of physiological parameters is measured, including the heart rate and the pulse arrival time. On the basis of these measurements, a risk assessment is performed including the allocation of a representation of the measured set of values as a vector in a vector space to a risk level representing the risk of the occurance of a critical hemodynamic event.
