Abstract

Le problème décrit par la présente invention est de permettre une mesure précise à la fois du débit cardiaque et de l'état respiratoire d'un sujet. La solution selon l'invention consiste en une unité de mesure de forme d'onde cardiaque 112 qui mesure la forme d'onde des micro-ondes traversant un organisme, une unité de calcul de nombre de respirations 114 qui mesure la forme d'onde lorsque l'organisme respire ou la forme d'onde lorsque l'organisme ne respire pas, et une unité de calcul de débit cardiaque 116 qui utilise la forme d'onde pendant la respiration ou la forme d'onde pendant la non-respiration pour calculer une forme d'onde afin d'obtenir le débit cardiaque de l'organisme et la forme d'onde lorsque l'organisme respire à partir de la forme d'onde des micro-ondes.
