    Abstract: A system (10) for in vivo measuring chemical and physical parameters of a patient's blood includes a probe (12), a sensing system (14), and flush interference warning devices (20). The system measures pH, pCO2, and temperature values, and determines a base excess value using the measured pH and pCO2. The time rate of change of the base excess value is also determined, as is the time rate of change of temperature. The warning devices are activated, indicating that the measured parameters are likely affected by the presence of flush solution flowing past the probe, when either: (a) the base excess value is less than a predefined threshold base excess; (b) the absolute value of the time rate of change of the base excess value is greater than a predefined threshold time rate of change of base excess; or, (c) the absolute value of the time rate of change of temperature is greater than a predefined threshold time rate of change of temperature.

    Abstract: A method for compensating the determination of cardiac output for a baseline blood temperature drift, or other long-term noise. The method is applicable to the continuous monitoring of cardiac output, which is carried out by modifying the temperature of blood within a heart (12) using a periodically varying electrical current that is applied to a heater (22) disposed on the outer surface of a catheter (14) inserted within the heart. A temperature sensor (24) disposed near a distal end (18) of the catheter monitors the temperature of blood leaving the heart, producing a blood temperature signal that periodically varies in a manner corresponding to the input signal. Alternatively, the temperature of blood within the heart can be modified by heat exchange with a fluid circulated within a heat exchanger (16) on the catheter, so that heat is transferred between the fluid and blood.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for continuously monitoring cardiac output based upon phase shift between an input signal and a temperature signal indicative of change in blood temperature leaving the heart. In a preferred embodiment of a cardiac output monitoring system (10), a catheter (14) is provided with an electrical resistance heater (22). An electrical current having a sinusoidal wave form with a period of from 30 to 60 seconds is applied to the heater, causing power to be dissipated into the blood within a patient's heart (12). A temperature sensor (24) disposed near the catheter produces a signal indicative of the temperature of blood leaving the heart. The temperature signal and the signal corresponding to the electrical power dissipated in the heater are filtered at a frequency φ corresponding to the frequency of the applied electrical current. The amplitude of the input power, the amplitude of the temperature signal, and their phase difference are used in calculating cardiac output.

    Abstract: A catheter assembly for measuring a fluid pressure in a body cavity includes an optical converter (39) responsive to an electrical power source for energizing a light-emitting diode (45) which has drift characteristics which vary in response to temperature. An optical sensor (72) is adapted to receive the light from the light-emitting diode and to provide a measurement signal indicative of the fluid pressure in the cavity. This measurement signal has undesirable characteristics related to the thermal drift characteristics of the diode. A detection circuit (93, 109) detects the measurement signal and provides an output signal indicative of fluid pressure in the cavity. A special filter (63) is included in this detection circuit which has optical characteristics that substantially offset the undesirable characteristics of the measurement signal, so that the output signal is substantially independent of the temperature of the diode. A power conversion (36) circuit enables the assembly to be energized by an excitation voltage which is provided in several different forms by various monitors.

    Abstract: A pressure cuff (200; 500) is fastened to the brachium to cause ischemia in the brachium by a blood impediment bladder (210; 520) of the cuff. A sound wave sensor (110) and a pressure sensor (120) are provided in the rear bladder (230; 530) on the downstream side of the blood impediment bladder to detect Korotkoff sound and pulse wave. The standard internal pressure in the pressure cuff is controlled by an air pump and a leak valve controlled by the CPU (130; 430; 640). By monitoring the Korotkoff sound or the pulse wave, the standard internal pressure in the pressure cuff can be maintained at a diastolic pressure. The pulse wave obtained in the brachium at the time of this pressure approximates to the aortic wave. This approximate aortic wave is displayed together with the Korotkoff sound and its envelope curve, and an output that gives information on the trouble of the blood circulation in the circulatory organ system is performed.

    Abstract: The invention refers to a method and an apparatus which in situ measure the flow in a blood vessel mean (9). A local disturbance of the optical properties of the blood is performed at the measuring place. The disturbance is optically detected by means of an optical conduit (1) introduced into the vessel, the field of view of the conduit being directed towards the central portion of the vessel. The detected optical signal is used to form a measure of the flow. The device comprises a conduit introduced into the vessel up to the measuring place. A fibre optical light conductor (7) is provided within the conduit. According to the invention the end surface of the light conductor is bevelled to look into the central portion of the blood vessel. A light detector (7) is provided in the proximal end of the light conductor and detects the local disturbance of the optical properties of the blood. The disturbance may be brought about by introducing a fluorescent substance into the blood or by making use of the autofluorescence of the blood. Disturbances may also be brought about by locally producing microbubbles in the blood upstreams of the measuring position or by locally disturbing the orientation of the blood corpuscles.

    Abstract: When a pulse wave is counted by pressing a pulse wave sensor to the artery of a living body, required detection accuracy of the pulse wave cannot be obtained from time to time due to a factor resulting from the living body itself as well as due to the pressing condition of the pulse wave sensor. In the case of such a factor resulting from the living body itself, no effect can be obtained even if the pressing condition of the pulse wave sensor is changed, and the condition for counting the pulse wave from a radial artery can be improved by changing the bending angle of a wrist, for example. The present invention comtemplates to detect automatically that detection accuracy of the pulse wave cannot be obtained due to a factor resulting from the living body itself. The present invention judges whether or not the detection accuracy of the pulse wave is abnormal due to a factor resulting from the living body itself, on the basis of a first pressing force width where the change of the amplitude of the pulse wave counted during the change process of the pressing force of the pulse wave sensor is below a predetermined value and a second pressing force width where the change of the minimum value of the pulse wave counted during the change process of the pressing force of the pulse wave sensor with the pressing force is below a predetermined value, and an abnormality signal representing the abnormality is outputted.
