Patent

CA 2460201

The invention involves a device and method for ascertaining the functioning of the respiratory system and determining whether a pulmonary embolism is present. The device comprises an apparatus containing sensors which measure the amount of a particular gas expired from a patient's lungs, including a non- ambient gas which is previously provided to the patent. From this data, a processor computes the concentration of expired gas as a function of expired volume and displays the results on a screen. By comparing the results to predetermined values from afflicted and healthy patient populations, an accurate determination can be made regarding the presence of a pulmonary embolism.

L'invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé permettant de vérifier le fonctionnement du système respiratoire et de déterminer la présence éventuelle d'une embolie pulmonaire. Le dispositif selon l'invention comprend un appareil pourvu de capteurs qui mesurent la quantité d'un gaz particulier expiré des poumons d'un patient, notamment d'un gaz non ambiant qui a été administré précédemment au patient. A partir de ces données, un processeur calcule la concentration de gaz expiré comme fonction du volume expiré et affiche les résultats sur un écran. La comparaison de ces résultats avec des valeurs prédéterminées provenant de populations de patients sains et de patients malades permet d'obtenir des indications précises sur la présence éventuelle d'une embolie pulmonaire.
