ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for Measuring Stroke Volume/Cardiac Output includes a transducer for measuring arterial blood pressure waveform, a digitizer for digitizing the analog signal generated by the transducer and a digital signal processor for determining ejection time and heart rate. Processor circuitry determines cardiac output using the ejection time, heart rate, the body surface area and age of the patient, with the cardiac output measure being displayed by the meter.
