Method and system for creating a diagnostic vascular window

Abstract

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method and system for providing a diagnostic vascular window that may be used in real time to monitor a patient's fluid conditions in a variety of settings. The diagnostic vascular window may, for example, be used pre-surgery, during surgery, and post-surgery to determine whether a correct type and dose of diuretic drugs are being used for the patient. The diagnostic vascular window utilizes low flow accesses to view blood/fluids leaving and entering the patient's body. In addition, the same amount of fluids leaving the body enters the body, so there are no fluid losses or gains within the diagnostic vascular window. The low flow accesses in conjunction with a monitoring system allows for real-time measurements of blood parameters without fluid loss.
