DISPOSITIFS POUR ESTIMER LE TAUX METABOLIQUE REGIONAL D'ORGANES D'APRES LA PRODUCTION DE CHALEUR ET POUR ESTIMER UN OU DES DEBITS SANGUINS REGIONAUX POUR LE OU LES VOLUMES DE TISSU PERFUSE
The present application provides systems that includea controller, and an insertion device with at least one temperaturessensor thereon and a pump coupled to the controller. The insertiondevice provides temperature measurement(s) at/of a subject's organ tothe controller and the controller varies an infusate flow rate to inducetemperature changes in at least a portion of the subject's organ andstores the temperature measurements during perfusion induced temperaturechanges on a memory device. The controller may estimate atleast one hemodynamic characteristic of at least a portion of the subject'sorgan based on the temperature measurements obtained duringperfusion induced temperature changes.
