Abstract
A medical device () determines a resistance parameter (), of a patient to be treated, indicating a peripheral vascular resistance. A reception module () is configured to receive a pulsatile signal (). The pulsatile signal indicates a blood pressure curve (), especially an arterial blood pressure curve, or a blood volume curve. A reading module () is connected to the reception module and is configured to read a number of predefined curve parameters () from the received pulsatile signal and to provide corresponding, read measured values () for the number of predefined curve parameters. A calculation module () is connected to the reading module and is configured to calculate the resistance parameter of the patient with the use of a predefined estimation function () based on the read measured values and on a predefined parameter () indicating the cardiac output of the patient and to output same.
