Abstract
A shock monitor comprising one or more probes, for measuring physiological conditions indicative of shock, and a controller for calculating blood flow values, as an indicator of the state-of-shock, is disclosed. The probe is used to introduce an input signal and produces an output signal, which represents the state-of-shock of the tissue in communication with the probe. The output signal is used to calculate a blood flow value.
