ABSTRACT:
Provided herein are methods and apparatus for stroke volume determination by bioimpedance from a patient's upper arm, or brachium, utilizing pulsations of the brachial artery contained therein. The apparatus includes two or more spaced apart alternating current flow electrodes positioned on the patient's arm proximate the brachial artery and two or more spaced apart voltage sensing electrodes positioned on the patient's arm proximate the brachial artery. The voltage sensing electrodes are positioned between the alternating current flow electrodes on the arm. An alternating current source is electrically connected to the alternating current flow electrodes and a voltmeter electrically is connected to the voltage sensing electrodes. A data input device is provided along with a processing unit in communication with the data input device, the alternating current source, alternating current flow electrodes, the voltmeter, and voltage sensing electrodes. The processing unit is capable of using data from the data input device and voltage sensing electrodes to calculate the stroke volume of the patient.
