Abstract:
A method, system and apparatus for assessing the coupling between lung perfusion and ventilation in a patient who is mechanically ventilated or who is breathing spontaneously through a conventional artificial airway is provided. Embodiments of the apparatus comprise an adaptor configured to fit between the artificial airway and mechanical ventilator, a measuring chamber in constant fluid communication with the adaptor via one or more measuring chamber sampling ports, and a monitoring unit where data obtained from temperature and relative humidity sensors located in the measuring is calibrated, sampled, logged and analyzed together with anthropometric patient data to display a coupling index Qi and to enable ongoing diagnostic cardio-pulmonary monitoring of a patient by comparing changes in the patient's index during a monitoring interval.

Claim (Index 5):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the wherein the calculated coupling index is displayed relative to pre-defined normal values, and wherein the pre-defined normal values are defined with reference to values that are commonly observed at rest in persons in good general health and who generally match a given patient in gender, age, and body size; or are defined as a specific patient's baseline values at rest or under stress at commencement of the monitoring interval.
