1. An ICG control system comprising:
- a current source;
one or more electrode arrays with said electrode array comprising a stimulation electrode terminal and a measurement electrode terminal;
an ICG monitoring system operable to continuously detect the patient'"'"'s ICG and transmit the ICG data;
an ECG monitoring system operable to continuously detect the patient'"'"'s ECG and transmit ECG data; and
a computerized control system operable to control the current source and the electrode arrays, receive and record ECG data from the ECG monitoring system, and receive and record ICG data from the ICG monitoring system;
wherein the computerized control system is further programmed to;
present a first display comprising fields for entry of patient data;
record hemodynamic parameters for substantially the entirety of an ICG session;
present a second display comprising one or more trace data fields and present an ECG trace generated from the ECG data and present an ICG trace generated from the ICG data; and
analyze hemodynamic parameters and ECG data recorded during the ICG session for occurring trends.

Abstract
An ICG control system for improved performance of Impedance Cardiography and improved reporting of the hemodynamic parameters obtained during an Impedance Cardiography (ICG) session. When the ICG control system is used, impedance waveforms, ECG Waveforms, and hemodynamic parameters are recorded continuously for each session. The parameters and/or pictorial representations are stored in a computer memory for recall, and the parameters may be recalled in formats particularly conducive to assessing and managing a patient'"'"'s hemodynamic status.
