ABSTRACT:
A monitor for continuously determining a patient's physiological parameter includes a means for obtaining a periodic calibration measurement of the patient's physiological parameter. An exciter, positioned over an artery of the patient induces an exciter waveform into the patient's arterial blood. A noninvasive sensor, positioned over the artery, senses a hemoparameter and provides a noninvasive sensor signal output representative of the hemoparameter. A processor receives the calibration measurement and noninvasive sensor signal output. The processor determines a DC offset based on the calibration measurement and processes the noninvasive sensor signal to continuously determine the patient's physiological parameter. A method includes steps for performing the present invention. In the preferred embodiment, the physiological parameter measured is blood pressure, however, the present invention can also be used to analyze and track other physiological parameters such as vascular wall compliance, strength of ventricular contractions, vascular resistance, fluid volume, cardiac output, myocardial contractility and other related parameters.
