20080214948 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MONITORING RESPIRATION - A device for monitoring respiration comprises a duct, a flow restricting element in the duct, and a pressure sensor arranged in the duct. The pressure sensor measures a pressure drop across the flow restricting element as a pressure difference between a pressure at a location in the duct on a first side of the flow restricting element and a substantially constant pressure on a second side of the flow restricting element opposite the first side. | 09-04-2008 |
20080215102 | Method and system aiding decision making during CPR - An embodiment of the invention is a method for recommending actions to be taken during resuscitation of a patient. Input signals related to the resuscitation are received during the resuscitation. The input signals are processed to generate output signals based on the input signals and predetermined criteria. The output signals are representative of the actions to be taken and are provided for further action. | 09-04-2008 |
20080294252 | CARDIOPULMONARY BYPASS DEVICES AND METHODS - A cardiopulmonary bypass device may include a first tube configured for connection to a vein and a second tube configured for connection to an artery. The device may further include a pump connected between the first and second tubes. In a first mode, the pump may pump fluid in one direction and in a second mode, the pump may pump fluid in the opposite direction. A control unit may be coupled to the pump to control its operation. Lungs may functions as the oxygenator of the cardiopulmonary bypass device. | 11-27-2008 |
20080314386 | Ventilation device for reducing hyperventilation - A ventilation device is disclosed including a self-inflating bag which when compressed produces an outgoing flow, an inlet and an outlet and at least one valve connected to the inlet and/or outlet. The valve is disposed to control the flow out of the air outlet. One or more sensors positioned to sense air flow through the inlet or outlet produce outputs that are used by a controller to control opening and closing of the at least one valve to reduce hyperventilation. | 12-25-2008 |
20090014001 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING VENTILATION AND PERFUSION - The present invention relates to a device and method for providing ventilation and perfusion in a patient. The device comprises an airway pressure supply device and a controller for controlling the airway pressure of the airway pressure supply device. In one embodiment, the airway pressure supply device comprises a piston moveably arranged in a cylinder and a motor connected to the piston. Activation of the airway pressure supply device is performed by moving the piston in the cylinder by the motor. | 01-15-2009 |
20090149771 | Vessel locator - The present invention is a vessel detector comprising a sensor, a display and an access device for positioning the sensor in a detection area. According to the invention the sensor device is an impedance sensor. The invention comprises also a method for locating vessels comprising impedance measuring. | 06-11-2009 |
20090221894 | MINIMALLY INVASIVE VESSEL LOCATION - The present invention is related to a blood vessel locator and a method for locating blood vessels. In one or more embodiments, the locator comprises at least one filiform element, a sensor device and a display. The filiform elements are connected to the sensor device, which is arranged to detect a parameter indicative of the presence of a blood vessel and connected to a display, and the display is arranged to give an indication of vessel location. | 09-03-2009 |
20100036266 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DETECTING HEART BEATS USING AIRWAY PRESSURE - Embodiments are directed to a device and method for detecting heart beats and/or monitoring ventilation and/or respiration of a patient using air pressure. In one embodiment, a monitoring device comprises a gas duct and at least one pressure sensor configured to measure pressure in the duct. The duct may be in fluid communication with a patients airways. Based on the sensed pressure, a heart beat of the patient may be detected. In another embodiment, a flow rate of the air expired from the patient may be calculated based on the pressure and a known flow resistance. | 02-11-2010 |
