Multi-sensor device for cardiopulmonary management

Abstract

A cardiopulmonary management system includes a multi-sensor device and a controller. The multi-sensor device includes an elongated body having a first end and a second end, a first electrode disposed at the first end of the body, a second electrode disposed at the second end of the body, an electrical circuitry disposed near a middle of the body, and a sound sensor. The multi-sensor device is configured to be disposed on a skin of a subject and to measure cardiopulmonary parameters from the subject. The controller is configured to derive a score of sound change, heart rate change, thoracic impedance change, respiratory rate change, QRS wavelength change, QT interval change, electromechanical activation time change, and left ventricular systolic time change based on the measured cardiopulmonary parameters. The controller is further configured to control an operation of the system when the derived score is greater than a threshold.
