SYSTEM FOR DETECTING CARDIAC TAMPONADE IN A PATIENT

摘要

System (1) for indicating a possibility a cardiac tamponade occurring in a patient (2), comprising: - a right atrium pressure sensor (9), configured for measuring a right atrium pressure (Pra) in a right atrium (4) of the patient (2); - an intra pericardial pressure sensor (10), configured for measuring an intra pericardial pressure (Pip) in a portion of an intra-pericardial space (6) of the patient; - a processing device (14) that is operatively connected to the pressure sensors (9, 10), is provided with a predetermined statistical distribution of pressure versus tamponade probabilities, and is configured for: - determining a trans-mural pressure difference (APtm) between the right atrium pressure (Pra) and the intra pericardial pressure (Pip); - comparing the trans-mural pressure difference with the statistical distribution, and - indicating the possibility of cardiac tamponade occurrence, based on the trans-mural pressure difference comparison.
