CARDIAC MEASUREMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

Cardiac output monitoring is important. Current methods are typically invasive, require intermittent reading, inaccurate, or a combination of the two. A method of monitoring blood flows through the body is disclosed, the method comprising the steps of: performing a substantially continuous blood pressure monitoring of a vessel at a first predetermined location to obtain a substantially continuous blood pressure signal; performing blood flow monitoring of a vessel at a first predetermined location to obtain a substantially continuous blood flow signal; providing an updated cardiac measure of said patient by continuously processing said flow signal and said pressure signal.
