Abstract
Apparatus for evaluating a mechanically ventilated patient's hemodynamic status, adapted to provide a respiratory variation diagram of a hemodynamic variable, and being capable of deriving the value of a hemodynamic parameter for each mechanical breath cycle as well as an assessment of its suitability for the hemodynamic analysis on basis of the respiratory variation diagram. A method is also provided.
