Abstract
A patient monitoring system comprises a non-invasive cardiac output sensor and a patient monitor console. The non-invasive cardiac output sensor is capable of acquiring a signal from a patient indicative of blood flow through a heart of the patient. The patient monitor console includes an analysis module and a display. The analysis module is coupled to the non-invasive cardiac output sensor and processes the signal from the patient indicative of blood flow to produce a value pertaining to cardiac output. The display is coupled to the analysis module and displays the value pertaining to cardiac output.
