ABSTRACT:
A method, apparatus and software program for measuring a parameter relating to the heart-lung system of a mammal are described. The method, software and apparatus can be implemented in a dialysis or other blood treatment apparatus comprising an extracorporeal blood circuit connected to a mammal; the circuit comprises a dialyzer, or other treatment unit, having a blood inlet, a blood outlet, a treatment fluid inlet and a treatment fluid outlet. The method comprises the steps of providing a pulse of a detectable substance in the blood circuit, measuring an integrated concentration of the detectable substance on the dialysis fluid outlet, determining the parameter based on the measurements on the dialysis fluid outlet.
