Device for continuous and simultaneous monitoring of autonomous bodily processes for use in patient monitoring combines a number of stand alone monitoring systems into a single integrated device

摘要

Device for the continuous simultaneous measurement of autonomous bodily functions, especially baroreflex and chemoreflex sensitivity by non-invasive determination of the haemodynamic, respiratory and metabolic parameters. The device comprises a spiro- ergometry system, a computer system, standard ECG system, non-invasive blood pressure measurement system, tilting table and bicycle ergometer with a pulse-meter that are coupled together to form a single device.
