Tissue monitor
First Claim
1. A multisignal-multiprobe multiparameter analyzer apparatus to monitor simultaneously a redox state (NADH), blood volume and a blood flow (MBF) of a substantially identical volume of tissue element, and in a region of the substantially identical volume of tissue element, ECoG (electrocortical activity), the apparatus comprising:
- (a) a Multiprobe Assembly, including an optical fiber bundle/light guide comprising 240μ
excitation optical fiber for laser Doppler flowmetry and NADH monitoring to measure the substantially identical volume of tissue element;
(b) at least one electrocortical electrode for measuring ECoG;
(c) at least one reference electrode;
(d) a single housing for containing said Multiprobe Assembly, said at least one electrocortical electrode and said at least one reference electrode, said single housing being built with a cannula connected respectively to;
(e) a Fluorometer Reflectometer Doppler Analyzer (FRDA); and
(f) an amplifier.

Abstract
A single signal-single probe multiparameter analyzer apparatus for monitoring various parameters of the identical volume element of body tissue, which includes an input signal generator, a single signal guide which transmits input signal in, and transmits output signal out, constituting a single signal-single probe, a signal splitter which splits output signal into two or more parts, filters which separate various components of output signal, detectors which measure the different components of the output signal, a computer and an analog to digital convertor; and algorithms to evaluate the data.
