A device and method are disclosed for electronically measuring the degree of pulsus paradoxus in a patient from a single patient data source. The single data source may be any device that outputs a waveform indicative of patient pulsatile cardiovascular behavior such as an optical plethysmograph, a pulse oximeter, or a blood pressure monitor. The invention is useful for rapidly assessing the status of a patient in acute respiratory distress for the purpose of objectively determining the severity of their condition.
L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé permettant de mesurer électroniquement le pouls paradoxal d'un patient, à partir d'une source unique de données concernant un patient. Cette source unique de données peut être un dispositif quelconque qui émet une de forme d'onde indiquant la conduite cardio-vasculaire pulsative d'un patient, notamment un pléthysmogramme optique, un sphygmo-oximètre, ou un appareil de mesure de la pression sanguine. L'invention est utile pour évaluer rapidement l'état d'un patient en souffrance respiratoire aiguë, ce qui permet de déterminer objectivement la sévérité de son état.
