    Abstract: A cardiac output probe assembly (10) is disclosed wherein the assembly includes a chest tube (12) which carries a cardiac output probe (14) therein. The chest tube (12) includes a main lumen (40) for draining fluids from the thoracic cavity of the chest and a secondary lumen (18) which carries leads (24) attached to the probe (14). The probe (14) is attached to the pulmonary artery or aorta vessel with detachable tines (52) and/or sutures. The tines (52) are uniquely configured to ensure that good contact between the probe (14) and vessel is maintained. When cardiac output monitoring is complete, a pulling force is applied to the probe leads (24) extending out through a proximal end (18) of the tube (12). The pulling force detaches the tines (52) and sutures, releasing the probe (14) from connection with the vessel. Further withdrawal of the leads (24) through the tube (12) retracts the probe (14) within the tube (12), where it is housed until the tube (12) is removed from the thoracic cavity.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for correcting thermal drift in cardiac output measurements based upon a temperature signal indicative of the change in temperature of blood leaving the heart is disclosed. In a first preferred embodiment of a cardiac output monitoring system (10), the catheter (14) is provided with an electrical resistance heater (22). An electrical current having a sinusoidal waveform 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 a distal end of 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 (an input signal) are filtered at a frequency omega n corresponding to the frequency of the applied electrical current, i.e., the frequency of the input signal. An output signal indicative of the temperature of the blood leaving the heart corrected for the effects of thermal drift is then calculated. The blood temperature output signal is first split into two equal overlapping time periods. The two signals are then filtered separately to produce two partially independent output signals in the frequency domain. These two frequency domain output signals are then combined into a single corrected frequency domain output signal with the effects of thermal drift removed. The amplitude of the input power, the amplitude of the temperature signal corrected for thermal drift, and their phase difference are then used in calculating cardiac output.

    Abstract: Method of determining the stroke volume of the human heart from the pulse-type blood-stream pressure signal derived from the aorta and consisting in each case of a systolic and a diastolic period. Said method comprises calculating the flow q(t) from the pressure p(t) and integrating the flow over the systolic period, the aorta being regarded as a transmission line supplemented with a windkessel compliance and the pressure/volume relationship in the aorta as an arctangent relationship. The pressure represented by the pressure signal - for each stroke prior to the calculation of the flow - is linearised by means of the arctangent relationship, for fixed aorta length, of the aorta pressure/cross section, the values, associated with the final diastolic pressure, of the characteristic impedance of the transmission line and windkessel compliance being adhered to or is used without modification. The characteristic impedance of the transmission line and the windkessel compliance are continuously adapted to the pressure of the windkessel compliance for each stroke concerned. Additionally, to calculate the flow, the flow through the peripheral resistance is added.

    Abstract: The present invention measures cardiac power and power increase under stress, thus calculating contractile reserve (CR), the difference between cardiac peak power and cardiac power at rest by connecting a person to an electrocardiograph and determining the pressure-volume loop (PVL) of a patient's heart. While deflating an inflated cuff on the person's arm at a controlled rate, a series of data points from peak systolic to diastolic pressure is obtained, each point consisting of cuff pressure at penetration coupled with the time of its occurrence after the corresponding ORS complex; a curve-fitting procedure is applied to turn said data points into a pressure curve resembling the ascending limb of the aortic pressure wave. The end systolic pressure (ESP) is calculated using the expression ESP = DP + 2/3 (PSP - DP), where DP = diastolic pressure and PSP = peak systolic pressure. The volume at point ESP is calculated by integrating said flow curve throughout the ejection phase of the patient's heart.
