Method and apparatus for monitoring parameters of a patient during surgery with extracorporeal circulation

The method for monitoring parameters of a patient during surgery with extracorporeal circulation serves to estimate the presence of AKI risk and comprises calculating a dynamic global index of AKI risk as a logistic regression deriving from a static AKI risk index and a dynamic index of AKI risk. The value and / or the time trend of such global index of AKI risk can be advantageously displayed on a monitor during the surgery. The dynamic AKI risk index is calculated at least on the basis of the extracorporeal circulation time, the minimum level of oxygen supply and the exposure time to oxygen supply below a critical threshold which are measured or determined repeatedly during surgery. Preferably, the dynamic AKI risk index is also calculated on the basis of the minimum mean arterial pressure during surgery and / or the maximum concentration of lactate in the blood during surgery and / or the minimum hematocrit during surgery and / or the fact that the patient has been subjected to transfusion(s) during the extracorporeal circulation.

Method and apparatus for noninvasive blood pressure estimation using footwear-integrated pressure sensing

PendingUS20260248397A1Blood pressureBlood arterial
Methods and apparatuses for noninvasive, continuous blood pressure estimation using one or more pressure sensors integrated into footwear, such as slippers, shoes, insoles, or padded socks. The sensors measure time-varying plantar pressure signals that include both weight-bearing and cardiovascular components. When a wearer stands or walks, the body weight load compresses underlying plantar arteries against the sensor surface, creating an oscillometric interaction between externally applied mechanical pressure and internal arterial blood pressure. Signal processing extracts blood-pressure-induced pulsatile modulations from the measured plantar pressure signal and estimates systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and mean arterial pressure by analyzing the envelope of these modulations as a function of the applied weight-bearing pressure. The system operates passively and continuously without an inflatable cuff, without requiring user intervention, and without interrupting the wearer's daily activities.
