Hemodynamic monitoring systems and methods are disclosed including a device comprising a first sensor configured to measure a velocity of blood flow in an adjacently-located portion of a superior vena cava of a mammalian patient using ultrasound waves; a second sensor configured to measure respiratory cycle data of the mammalian patient; and a computer configured to process the measured velocity of blood flow and the measured respiratory cycle data to provide hemodynamic parameters corresponding to the mammalian patient.

Hemodynamic monitoring device and methods of using same

A method for determining the location of a medical device within a body is provided. The method includes transmitting from the medical device an acoustic signal; receiving with the medical device a reflected acoustic signal; advancing the medical device based on a first algorithm, the first algorithm including a first weighting factor and a first feature extracted from the reflected acoustic signal; determining a first location of the medical device based on the first algorithm; and moving the medical device to a second location based on a second algorithm, the second algorithm based on the determined first location and including at least one of a second weighting factor and a second feature extracted from the reflected acoustic signal. Also disclosed are systems and devices for performing the methods described herein.
