Methods, and devices are provided for assessing impairment of blood circulation in a patient, such as that in perfusion failure, by measurement of blood flow in the gastro-intestinal tract or upper respiratory/digestive tract of the patient. The method comprises introducing a blood - flow sensor (212) into the gastrointestinal tract or the upper respiratory/digestive tract of a patient, placing the sensor (212) adjacent a mucosal surface therein, and measuring blood flow in adjacent tissue to determine blood flow in that tissue. The method may also involve the measurement of PCO~2? and/or pH in combination with the blood flow determination. This invention affords rapid measurement, and detection of perfusion failure.

L'invention porte sur des procédés et des dispositifs permettant d'évaluer la détérioration de l'écoulement sanguin chez un patient telle qu'une défaillance dans une perfusion en mesurant l'écoulement sanguin dans les voies gastro-intestinales ou dans les voies respiratoires/digestives supérieures du patient. Ce procédé consiste à introduire un capteur (212) d'écoulement sanguin dans les voies gastro-intestinales ou dans les voies respiratoires/digestives supérieures du patient, placer le capteur (212) à côté d'une muqueuse et mesurer et déterminer l'écoulement sanguin dans le tissu adjacent. Dans ce procédé, à la détermination de l'écoulement sanguin peut également être associée la mesure de PCO2 et/ou du pH. Cette invention permet d'obtenir une mesure et une détection rapides d'une défaillance dans une perfusion.
