摘要 |
Unit for continuously monitoring and detecting variations in physiological cardiorespiratory variables, such as electrocardiogram signals (QRS-T), heart rate, ventilation/minute (VE), breathing rate, systolic output (SO), cardiac output (CO) and arterial pressure (AP). The said unit comprises a first subcutaneous part (1) having means (6, 9, 12) for detecting first physiological parameters, such as the difference in potential between electrodes, transthoracic impedance and subcutaneous blood pressure, and means for handling first signals, depending on the said physiological parameters, and for transmitting them, by radio-frequency, to a second part (18) outside the body; the latter part having means for receiving the said physiological variables, which are then processed for detecting critical conditions and activating alarm means (35, 36). |
