APPARATUS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR DETERMINING VOLEMIC STATUS OF PATIENT SHOWN BY CARDIOPULMONARY BLOOD VOLUME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and computer program for determining a patient's volemic status shown by cardiopulmonary blood volume CPBV continuously and easily.

SOLUTION: An apparatus for determining a patient's volemic status is adapted to make use of a physiological heart-lung interaction during spontaneous breathing or mechanical ventilation. Further, a computer program for determining the patient's volemic status has instructions to carry out the steps of generating data of a physiological heart-lung interaction during spontaneous breathing or mechanical ventilation, and determining the patient's volemic status when making use of the data of the physiological heart-lung interaction when run on a computer.
