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 3):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the monitoring unit further comprises reference temperature and relative humidity sensors, and wherein the monitoring unit is configured, prior to step (a), to initially calibrate the measuring chamber temperature and relative humidity sensors readings relative to the reference temperature and relative humidity sensor readings, and to apply suitable compensatory correction factors during step (c).
