Arterial, venous, pulmonary artery and intracranial pressures and ventilator waveforms guide decisions in operating rooms and intensive care units, yet foundation models for physiological waveforms have been built almost entirely on the electrocardiogram and photoplethysmogram. We present CARMEN, a single encoder pretrained without labels on ten cardiorespiratory waveforms (2.27 million modality-hours). CARMEN accepts any combination of co-recorded signals from 10 s to 5 min, and a conditioning mechanism, LSCNorm, restores the absolute signal level that normalization removes; without it, the AUROC for intraoperative hypotension fell from 0.894 to 0.780. Across 19 tasks from Korean and US cohorts, the frozen encoder outperformed supervised models on 12 of 15 and three foundation models, one general-purpose and two for biosignals, on 14 to 17 of 19, with none exceeding it on any task. Given the electrocardiogram or photoplethysmogram alone, it matched or exceeded signal-specific foundation models in most comparisons, and it retained its performance when channels were missing.
