Abstract:
A system for assisting with a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) treatment being administered to a patient. In one aspect, the system includes electrodes to provide an ECG signal of the patient, one or more sensors configured to measure an intrinsic myocardial wall movement of the patient, and one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to perform operations including: during the CPR treatment being administered to the patient, receiving an input from the sensor(s), processing the input from the sensor(s) and the ECG signal, determining, based on processing, whether the intrinsic myocardial wall movement is indicative of a perfusion movement of the patient's heart, and providing an indication to a user of the system based on the determination.
Abstract:
An oral device includes an intraoral bolus simulator comprising an exterior surface and having an interior volume fillable with a fluid. An extraoral user interface extends from the bolus simulator, and can be used to locate or position the intraoral bolus simulator. In various embodiments, the fluid may be a gas or a liquid, or combinations thereof. In other embodiments, an oral device includes an extraoral handle, a shield connected to the handle, a tether extending from the shield, and a bolus simulator connected to the tether.
Abstract:
Device (1) for monitoring cardiac compression being applied to a patient comprises a body to overlie and contact the sternum, preferably of width no greater than the width of the sternum. The device includes indication means (9) responsive to the force applied to the body by the user for providing an indication of the cardiac compression applied to the sternum. Also disclosed is a resuscitation mask adapted to be placed over the mouth of a patient, the mask includes a nostril closing means adapted to press against the sides of the nose to close the nostrils when the mask is sealed against the face of the patient.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a medical use of water exerting a hydrostatic pressure higher than 1.1 bar, completely surrounding and affecting a patient's organism under total submergence, for use in prophylaxis, physiotherapy, rehabilitation and therapy of disorders, defects and injuries of skeletal system, arthroskeletal system, musculoskeletal system and other body systems such as circulatory system, nervous system, immune system, as well as pain conditions, such as migraine, myalgia and neuralgia, skin diseases, fertility disorders, potency dysfunctions, as well as overweight, obesity and defects of posture. According to the invention the hydrostatic pressure of water is preferably higher than 1.2 bar, and the patient is human being. The invention is of a particular importance in rehabilitation and therapy that follows after aesthetic medicine treatment, after surgeries, after physical injuries of motor system. The solution according to the invention is advantageously used in combination with procedures of classic hydrotherapy, manual therapy, kinesitherapy or combination thereof. It is of a particular benefit to provide air, mixture of gases of a composition different to the composition of air, mixtures of air and oxygen or pure oxygen for breathing (hyperbaric oxygen therapy HBO/HBOT), while the water may be supplemented with various additives appropriate for the kind of an ailment treated, such as mineral, gaseous, herbal, antiinflamatory, antimicrobial including antibacterial additives.
Abstract:
L'invention porte sur un appareil d'assistance respiratoire (1) apte à délivrer un flux de gaz à un patient (P) comprenant un conduit d'acheminement de gaz (2) pour acheminer un flux de gaz, tel de l'air, des moyens de mesure (6) conçus pour mesurer au moins un paramètre représentatif du flux de gaz et fournir au moins un signal correspondant audit moins un paramètre représentatif dudit flux de gaz, par exemple le débit ou la pression de gaz; des moyens de traitement de signal (8) conçus pour traiter ledit au moins un signal provenant des moyens de mesure (6) et en déduire au moins une information (II, I2, I3) caractéristique d'un massage cardiaque opéré sur un patient; et des moyens d'affichage (7) conçus pour afficher ladite au moins une information (II, I2, I3) caractéristique d'un massage cardiaque provenant des moyens de traitement de signal (8). De préférence, les moyens de traitement de signal (8) sont aptes à déterminer une information représentative du travail (W v , W T ) fourni par le massage ou des amplitudes de pression et/ou de débit résultant du massage. Procédé de monitorage susceptible d'être mis en œuvre par un tel appareil d'assistance respiratoire (1).
Abstract:
The apparatus is arranged to supply a flow of substantially pure oxygen to a person, and comprises a source of substantially pure oxygen gas, means for release of the substantially pure oxygen gas from the source into an ambient atmosphere; and means for cooling the substantially pure oxygen gas released from the source to a temperature below that of the ambient atmosphere. The substantially pure oxygen gas when cooled by the cooling means can be allowed to sink under ambient pressure by convection into a zone including the ambient atmosphere, the zone being beneath, and in convective communication with, the cooled substantially pure oxygen gas, whereby the cooled and sunken substantially pure oxygen gas can come into contact with the skin of a person in that zone. At least one parameter (such as temperature, oxygen concentration, sound or vibration) is monitored in the zone and operation of the release means is only permitted when the parameter is in a predetermined range.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an exercising apparatus (2) for stretching of the calf muscle, comprising a foot support (4) arranged with an inclination (α). On one side (18) on the foot support (4) a bar (22) extending in a vertical direction is arranged in a joint (20). The bar (22) is rotatably arranged to the foot support (4) in said joint (20). The bar (22) comprises a handle part (23) and a supporting part (24). The supporting part extends at least around a part of the calf, where stretching of a calf muscle on the practician can be achieved by bringing the bar (22) during rotation in the joint (20) in a direction (Rl) towards a first part (12) of the foot support while a heel part of the practician is secured at the foot support (4).
Abstract:
An oxygen bottle holder for attachment to a rolling walker without the need of tools. The oxygen bottle holder has a cylindrical container sized to receive an oxygen bottle. Upper and lower hangers extend from opposite sides of the container. The upper hanger may engage and be supported either by basket mounting hooks or by an upper cross member on the rolling walker, and the lower hanger engages and is supported by a lower cross member on the rolling walker. The oxygen bottle holder is positioned so that when an oxygen bottle is inserted into the container, the center of gravity of the oxygen bottle is low and positioned within the wheelbase of the rolling walker, preferably near the center of the wheelbase.
Abstract:
An oral device comprises an extraoral handle, a shield connected to said handle, a tether extending from said shield, and a bolus simulator connected to said tether.
