Cardio-Pulmonary Stethoscope: Clinical Validation With Heart Failure and Hemodialysis Patients

Conclusion: These results suggest that CPS technology accurately quantifies heart and respiration rates and measure fluid change- in the lungs. Significance: The CPS has the potential to accurately monitor lung fluid status noninvasively and continuously in a clinical and outpatient setting. Early and efficient management of lung fluid status is key in managing chronic conditions such heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and acute respiration distress syndrome.
