Abstract:
Cardiac output of a test individual is determined in a noninvasive method, by processing CO. sub. 2 expirogram data obtained from the individual. The method also noninvasively determines pulmonary arterial blood CO. sub. 2 concentration for the test individual. An apparatus for carrying out this noninvasive method includes a database of computed numerical CO. sub. 2 expirograms, a device for measuring experimental CO. sub. 2 expirogram data and means for processing the data sets to determine cardiac output.
