ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for determining and displaying hemodynamic characteristics of a living body instantaneously and over a time period, i.e., rate of blood flow, stroke volume, cardiac output, cardiac index, systemic vascular resistance, useful power of the heart and elastic properties of the walls of blood vessels. The improved method and apparatus deal with physical measurements of body electrical impedance and blood pressure in relationship with other known or derived factors to produce signals representing these characteristics and which may be displayed for the information of surgeons or others who may be interested in this information.
