20110184309 | METHOD FOR DETERMINING A CORRECTED VOLUME COMPARTMENT OF AN AMPUTATED PATIENT, DEVICE FOR CARRYING OUT THE METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - The invention relates to the field of monitoring the hydration—and/or nutrition status of a patient by means of bioimpedance measurement values. This is based on the problem of also being able to determine by such measurements the body composition of an amputated person simply and individually. The invention is based on the observation that volume compartments can also be determined in amputated patients by means of bioimpedance measurements when reference is made to the body models, used and established hitherto for patients without amputations, without major adaptation. Merely the determining of a characteristic factor for the amputation is necessary, which can be determined by comparative measurements in advance. In particular exceptional situations of multiple amputations, it can be indicated to submit additional parameters to increase accuracy. Then the body models hitherto can also be further used for these cases. | 07-28-2011 |
20120143076 | Isolating devie, set, treatment apparatus and methods - The present invention relates to an isolating device provided or intended for preventing or inhibiting a current flow between a first body section and a second body section of a patient during a bioimpedance measurement. It further relates to a set, a treatment apparatus and methods. | 06-07-2012 |
20120238935 | METHOD FOR ASSESSING A PATIENT'S FLUID STATUS AND/OR SENSITIVITY TO FLUID REMOVAL, CONTROLLER, AND DEVICES - The present invention relates to a method for assessing a patient's sensitivity to fluid removal from the patient's vascular system or to fluid replacement or addition with regard to the patient's hydration state, the method comprising the step of determining a value reflecting the distribution of fluid between at least two distribution spaces of the body of the patient or changes thereof from measured or calculated values, and assessing whether the value fulfils at least one criterion. It also relates to a controller, an apparatus, a device, a digital storage device, a computer program product, and a computer program. | 09-20-2012 |
20130018245 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EVALUATING VALUES REPRESENTING A MASS OR A CONCENTRATION OF A SUBSTANCE PRESENT WITHIN THE BODY OF A PATIENTAANM Chamney; PaulAACI HertsAACO GBAAGP Chamney; Paul Herts GBAANM Moissl; UlrichAACI Bad VilbelAACO DEAAGP Moissl; Ulrich Bad Vilbel DEAANM Wabel; PeterAACI DarmstadtAACO DEAAGP Wabel; Peter Darmstadt DEAANM Nier; VolkerAACI ReichelsheimAACO DEAAGP Nier; Volker Reichelsheim DEAANM Wieskotten; SebastianAACI Ober-RamstadtAACO DEAAGP Wieskotten; Sebastian Ober-Ramstadt DE - The present invention relates to a method for evaluating a value representing the mass or the concentration of a substance comprised by a tissue or a bodily fluid of a patient, the method including the steps of a) determining a relation between one or more calculated or measured value(s) reflecting the mass or the concentration and a distribution space of the patient or an approximation thereof, and b) assessing whether the relation fulfils a criterion. The present invention further relates to systems and computer programs for performing this method. | 01-17-2013 |
20130081998 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING OF A FILTRATION RATE, CONTROLLER, AND DEVICES - The present invention relates to a method for controlling a filtration rate during treatment of a body fluid, e.g., during hemofiltration or dialysis, comprising the steps of defining a target relation, or a development during dialysis thereof, between one or more calculated or measured value(s) reflecting the mass, concentration, or the volume of a substance comprised by a patient's tissue or bodily fluid, and one or more calculated or measured value(s) reflecting a patient's distribution space or an approximation thereof; during dialysis repeatedly calculating or measuring value(s) reflecting the mass, concentration or the volume of the substance and/or reflecting the distribution space or an approximation thereof, and determining the relation therebetween at least once; and controlling the filtration rate of the body fluid treatment device such that the determined relation is or approaches the target relation. It also relates to systems for conducting the method, and related computer-readable storage media. | 04-04-2013 |
