SYSTEMS FOR CHARACTERIZING PHYSIOLOGIC PARAMETERS AND METHODS FOR USE THEREWITH
First Claim
1. A medical system for continuously measuring a physiologic parameter of a patient and adjusting therapy based upon feedback information on the physiologic parameter, comprising:
- a first probe having an elongate body, the first probe configured to be inserted into a first location;
a first sensor operably connected to the first probe and configured to continuously provide feedback information on at least one physiologic parameter at the first location, the physiologic parameter selected from the group consisting of;
pH, pCO2, pO2, pressure, and temperature; and
a controller operably connected to the first probe,wherein the controller is configured to receive the feedback information and to adjust a therapeutic setting on a therapeutic device based at least in part on the feedback information.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for continuously measuring a physiologic parameter of a patient, and can also include adjusting therapy based upon the physiologic parameter. The system can include a first probe having an elongate body, the probe configured to be inserted into a first location within a patient. At least one sensor can be operably connected to the first probe and configured to continuously provide real-time feedback information on one or more physiologic parameters at the first location within the patient, such as pH, pCO2, pO2, pressure, or temperature. A controller can be connected to the probe and configured to receive the real-time feedback information and to adjust a therapeutic setting on a therapeutic device based at least in part on the feedback information.

8. A medical system for continuously measuring a physiologic parameter of a patient and adjusting therapy based upon feedback information on the physiologic parameter, comprising:
-
a first probe having an elongate body, the first probe configured to be inserted into a first location within the arterial circulation of a patient; a sensor array operably connected to the first probe and configured to continuously provide feedback information on at least one physiologic parameter at the first location within the patient, the at least one physiologic parameter selected from the group consisting of;
pH, pCO2, pO2, pressure, and temperature;a controller configured to operably communicate with the first probe; and a module configured to calculate the patient'"'"'s cardiac output based in at least in part upon feedback information from the sensor array, wherein the controller is configured to receive the feedback information and to adjust a therapeutic setting on a ventilator based at least in part on the feedback information.

9. A method of continuously monitoring at least one physiologic parameter of a patient, comprising:
-
providing a first probe having an elongate body, the first probe configured to be inserted into a first location, the probe operably connected to a first sensor; delivering the first probe to the first location; continuously measuring the at least one physiologic parameter of the patient at the first location using the first sensor, wherein the at least one physiologic parameter is selected from the group consisting of;
pH, pCO2, pO2, pressure, and temperature; andtransmitting feedback information regarding the physiologic parameter to an output device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
