- the technology according to the invention is related to Photo-Plethysmo-Graphy (PPG), as it is used in commercially available pulse oximeters, such as. B. in typical transmission pulse oximeters for fingers, is common.
- PPG wave corresponds to the absorption of light by tissue on the finger according to the Beer-Lambert law.
- the absorbed signal is based on two parts: a pulsatile component (AC), which represents the pulse pressure wave, and a non-pulsatile component (DC), which represents venous blood, nails, bones, skin, and soft tissue.
- AC pulsatile component
- DC non-pulsatile component
- the main differences between the PPG technology required according to the invention and standard pulse oximeters are:
- AC and DC data are available at least on a beat-by-beat basis
- PPG represents the non-invasive FLOW pulse wave (similar to the PRESSURE pulse wave, which is obtained through an intra-arterial catheter).
- the shape of the PPG - i.e. defined by the amplitude, width and the position of the dichrotic notch in the AC component - is related to the changes in arterial blood pressure caused by the change in vascular tone.
- the PPG can detect arterial hypertension and hypotension caused by vasoconstriction / vasodilation with high sensitivity and specificity (97.8% and 98.4%, respectively).
- the novelty of this approach is its unique ability to monitor vascular tone; a non-invasive diagnostic capability previously only available by invasive means in patients receiving advanced hemodynamic monitoring to calculate systemic vascular resistance.
- Our PPG waveform analysis offers an unprecedented non-invasive way of deriving beat-to-beat information about the vascular tone at the bedside.
- the DC component is influenced by two components:
- any change in the DC component is caused by changes in the volume of venous blood on the finger (the dynamic path). According to our measurements on patients, these changes are associated with changes in the volume state. Therefore, the DC component should be used both in the operating room and in the intensive care unit to diagnose and monitor the volemia or preload dependency of a patient.
- the combined monitoring of both the AC and DC components provides clinically relevant information about changes in vascular tone and volemic status.
- various causes such as vasoconstriction, normal vascular tone, vasodilation, hypovolemia, normovolemia and hypervolemia and thus the physiopathological mechanisms of arterial blood hyper- and hypotension can be identified.
- This type of monitoring is highly innovative as it is completely non-invasive and in real time.
- the technology is based on the idea that the DC signal can be used to detect the preload dependency or fluid response in critically ill patients in the context of a DYNAMIC maneuver such as increasing PEEP, maneuvering to raise the legs, etc.
