Abstract
A method of monitoring blood flows through the body includes 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 the flow signal and the pressure signal.
Claims20
A method for monitoring blood flows through a patient, the method comprising:
- (a) performing a substantially continuous blood pressure monitoring of a vessel at a first predetermined location to obtain a substantially continuous blood pressure signal;
- (b) performing blood flow monitoring of a vessel at a first predetermined location to obtain a substantially continuous blood flow signal;
- (c) providing an updated cardiac measure of said patient by continuously processing said flow signal and said pressure signal.
A system for monitoring blood flows through a patient, the system comprising:
- a transducer element for providing a blood flow signal;
- a blood pressure monitor for providing a blood pressure signal;
- a processing unit adapted to receive said flow signal and said pressure signal, and configured to process said flow signal and said pressure signal for providing an updated cardiac measure of said patient.
