Reporting systems for patients following medical interventions, e.g. heart surgery, where alongside classical monitoring, bio-signal processing is undertaken, e.g. monitoring of baro-receptor reflex, to improve reporting accuracy

摘要

Reporting system comprises an input unit (1), a signal processing unit (2) and an output unit (3). The system enables improved conclusions about the healing process or risk quantifications to be made by determining clinically relevant parameters and characteristics of autonomous vegetative regulation mechanisms thorough bio-signal processing. This is in addition to classical monitoring functions. Such autonomous vegetative regulatory parameters are the baro-receptor reflex, chemo-reflex, heart frequency variation, blood pressure variation, etc.
