Improved apparatus and methods for non-invasively assessing one or more hemodynamic parameters associated with the circulatory system of a living organism. In one aspect, the invention comprises apparatus adapted to accurately place and maintain a sensor (e.g., tonometric pressure sensor) with respect to the anatomy of the subject, including an alignment apparatus which is separable from an adjustable fixture. The alignment apparatus moveably captures the sensor to, inter alia, facilitate coupling thereof to an actuator used to position the sensor during measurements. The alignment apparatus also advantageously allows the sensor position to be maintained when the fixture is removed from the subject, such as during patient transport. Methods for positioning the alignment apparatus and sensor, correcting for hydrostatic pressure effects, and providing treatment to the subject are also disclosed.

L'invention concerne un appareil amélioré et des procédés d'évaluation non invasive d'un ou de plusieurs paramètres hémodynamiques associés au système circulatoire d'un organisme vivant. Dans un aspect, on décrit un appareil adapté pour placer avec précision et maintenir un capteur (par exemple un capteur de pression tonométrique) relativement à l'anatomie du sujet, et un dispositif d'alignement détachable d'un accessoire de fixation réglable. Le dispositif d'alignement saisit en mouvement le capteur, entre autres pour faciliter son raccordement à un actionneur utilisé pour positionner le capteur pendant les mesures. Le dispositif d'alignement permet aussi avantageusement de maintenir la position du capteur lorsque l'accessoire de fixation est retiré du sujet, par exemple au cours du transport du patient. On décrit en outre des procédés de positionnement du dispositif d'alignement et du capteur, de correction des effets de la pression hydrostatique, et d'application d'un traitement au sujet.
