  • Publication number: 20220369941
    Abstract: A probe with a blood circulation sensor and a force or pressure sensor is placed against a patient. One part of the probe applies a force to another part of the probe which is pressed against the patient at one or more locations. The variation of a measure of blood circulation is recorded as a function of the applied pressure, thereby giving the operator a specific knowledge of the Tissue Perfusion Pressure (TPP), a measure of circulatory health, at each location.
