The qCO is a non-invasive cardiac output monitor for healthcare professionals trained in all areas of the hospital. From the impedance signal, the monitor calculates the Cardiac Output (CO), the stroke volume (SV) and the Heart Rate Variability (HRV) parameters.

The aim is to guide the experts to detemine the cardiac output of the patient when monitoring the thorax blood flow. Besides, the HRV parameters are related to respiration, blood pressure and other vital signs (which could be strongly correlated to the degree of sepsis), thanks to the relation between the central nervous system and pacemaker cells.

HRV parameters recorded during the recovering of a patient with sepsis are depicted. It is noticeable the growing trend according to the improving. Hence, this data could be used to drive a prognosis.
