Abstract
The pulsed-Doppler flowmeter permits continuous, non-invasive measurem ent of blood flow through several arteries simultaneously. Summation o f volume flow rates through all arteries leaving the heart allows dete rmination of cardiac output, stroke volume, and the percentage of card iac output delivered to each region of the body. The use of this syste m for investigating changes in arterial perfusion as well as its calib ration in situ are described.
