ABSTRACT:
In a method for calibrating an indicator of the status of blood volume in a patient breathing with the aid of a mechanical ventilator, blood pressure data is obtained from the patient and used to determine a patient blood volume status indicator. Changes in at least one patient physiological characteristic or ventilator operating parameter are ascertained and used to alter the patient blood volume status indicator to provide a calibrated patient blood volume status indicator.
