  • Method and apparatus for determining cardiac output
    Patent number: 7367954
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for use in determining the cardiac output. The method includes measuring a first parameter indicative of a patient's oxygen uptake and a second parameter indicative of the patient's fractional arterial oxygen concentration. The method also includes inducing a change in the patient's arterial oxygen concentration while taking these measurements to monitor the effects of the change in the patient's arterial oxygen concentration. The cardiac output is determined from the data collected regarding the effects of the change in the patient's arterial oxygen concentration.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 23, 2004
    Date of Patent: May 6, 2008
    Assignee: RIC Investments, LLC
    Inventors: Eric W Starr, Bernard Pennock, Mouhyieldin Kandis
  • Method and apparatus for determining cardiac output
    Publication number: 20040171950
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for use in determining the cardiac output. The method include quantitatively measuring the patient's airflow, a first parameter indicative of the percent oxygen inhaled and exhaled by the patient, and a second parameter indicative of the patient's fractional arterial oxygen concentration. The method also includes inducing a change in the patient's arterial oxygen concentration while taking these measurements to monitor the effects of the change in the patient's arterial oxygen concentration. The cardiac output is determined from the data collected regarding the effects of the change in the patient's arterial oxygen concentration.
