A method of determining the cardiac output of a human heart, comprising: providing a sensor for measuring an expiratory tidal volume; a sensor for measuring an oxygen uptake from the expiratory tidal volume; a sensor for measuring a CO2 partial pressure in the expiratory tidal volume; and providing a circulation model for relating a measured CO2 partial pressure and oxygen uptake to a heart stroke volume per breath. The measured expiratory tidal volume, oxygen uptake and CO2 partial pressure are inputted in said circulation model and a heart stroke volume per breath consistent with said circulation model is calculated.

La présente invention a pour objet une méthode visant à mesurer le rythme cardiaque du cAEur humain, qui comprend : un capteur permettant de mesurer le volume courant d~air expiré ; un capteur permettant de mesurer le taux d~oxygène dans le volume courant d~air expiré ; un capteur permettant de mesurer la pression partielle de CO2 dans le volume courant d~air expiré ; et un modèle de cycle respiratoire permettant de corréler la pression partielle de CO2 et le taux d~oxygène au volume de sang pompé par le cAEur à chaque respiration. Le volume courant d~air expiré, le taux d~oxygène et la pression partielle de CO2 mesurées sont inclus dans ledit modèle, ce qui permet de calculer un volume de sang pompé à chaque respiration suivant ledit modèle.
