摘要

Device for determining the blood flow in the abdominal aorta or pelvic aorta (34) of a person in a motor vehicle using ultrasound comprises an ultrasound transmitter (18) and an ultrasound receiver (20) for carrying out a Doppler-based ultrasound diagnostic method. The ultrasound transmitter and the ultrasound receiver are arranged in a passenger restraint system of the motor vehicle so that they lie in the lower abdominal region of the person. An independent claim is also included for the use of an ultrasound transmitter and an ultrasound receiver for determining the vital functions of a person in a motor vehicle using a Doppler-based ultrasound diagnostic method.
