1. A method for assessing a dynamic respiratory arterial pressure wave, comprising:
- detecting the dynamic respiratory arterial pressure wave as a function of changing blood volume using a plethysmographic device;
assessing at least one characteristic of the dynamic respiratory arterial pressure wave; and
providing at least one output for diagnostic purposes, wherein the at least one output represents the assessed at least one characteristic of the dynamic respiratory arterial pressure wave, andwhereby providing the at least one output further comprises specifying at least one of an amplitude change, a frequency change, and a phase change for the dynamic respiratory arterial pressure wave.
