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 2):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising an auxiliary adaptor configured to fit between the artificial airway and the adaptor and including a flexible membrane to create pressure differentials by resisting airflow therethrough, and a spirometer in fluid communication therewith to measure tidal or minute volume for use in the calculation of the coupling index.
