Abstract:
The invention is to provide a pressurized gas mist bathing system, ensuring hygiene and reduction in costs, by making only one part of the system disposable. This system causes a mist to contact the skin or the mucous membrane of a living body in a high pressure not less than a predetermined value, the mist is prepared by pulverizing liquid and the mist of micron size dissolving oxygen and/or carbon dioxide gases and comprises a gas supply means 10; a gas mist generating means 30 having a fluid nozzle 32 of generating the gas mist and a liquid storage 34 of storing liquid; a pressure cover 50 for covering the skin and the mucous membrane of the living body and formed with a space for sealing inside the gas mist supplied from the gas mist generating means 30; and a humors circulating means 41 for circulating the liquid from the liquid storage 34 of the gas mist generating means 30 to the fluid nozzle 32 and wherein, in the gas mist generating means 30, at least the liquid storage 34 is displaceable and replaced by another liquid storage.
Abstract:
A pneumatic circulatory enhancer to enhance a blood flow of a leg of a patient that includes a chamber that surrounds the leg and is filled with gas having a negative, a zero-point, or a pressure, a pneumatic gas pump having a cylinder and a piston, the piston moving in the cylinder by an electrical motor, a plurality of ECG electrodes that are connected to body parts of the patient, a pressure sensor that is connected to the chamber and measures a pressure of the gas inside the chamber, a controller that receives the ECG signals from the plurality of ECG electrodes and controls the electrical motor based on the received ECG signals to pump-in or pump-out the gas from the chamber by moving the piston inside the chamber such that the zero-point pressure is an atmospheric pressure of a location that the pneumatic circulatory enhancer is operated.
Abstract:
Device and method for identifying respiration waveforms during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), the method including obtaining CO2 measurements from a subject undergoing CPR, processing the CO2 measurements by applying a waveform detection algorithm thereto, wherein the waveform detection algorithm is configured to identify respiration waveforms and filtering out compression derived waveform-like signals; and identifying a respiration rate of the subject based on the identified respiration waveforms.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for inhibiting an occurrence of an apneic or hypoxic event are disclosed. Physiological data is received from a subject and analyzed to detect an impending apneic event or an impending hypoxic event. A stimulation is applied to the subject to inhibit occurrence of the impending apneic or hypoxic event after an occurrence of a predetermined condition. The physiological data can include respiratory data, cardiological data, or a combination thereof. The analyzing includes use of a point-process model and gross body movement data of the subject. Therapeutic effectiveness of the stimulation is increased by accounting for gross body movements of the patient.
Abstract:
A carbon dioxide gas mist pressure bath apparatus for preventing, improving or curing a myocardial infarction by contacting a carbon dioxide gas mist to a skin and a mucous membrane of a living organism directly or through a clothing, thereby to improve or promote a circulation of a blood, includes a carbon dioxide gas mist-enclosing unit for enclosing the living organism; a gas supply unit for supplying a carbon dioxide gas; a carbon dioxide gas mist generating and supplying unit for pulverizing and dissolving the carbon dioxide gas into a liquid, and supplying the carbon dioxide gas mist into the carbon dioxide gas mist-enclosing unit; an exhausting device for exhausting the gas in the carbon dioxide gas mist-enclosing unit to an outside thereof; and a control device for controlling a supplying amount of the carbon dioxide gas mist from the carbon dioxide gas mist generating and supplying unit.
Abstract:
A resuscitation device for automatic compression of a victim's chest using a compression belt operably attached to a platform upon which a patient rests. In use, the compression belt is wrapped around the patient and at least one spindle operably attached to the platform.
Abstract:
Apparatus for automatic delivery of chest compressions and ventilation to a patient, the apparatus including: a chest compressing device configured to deliver compression phases during which pressure is applied to compress the chest and decompression phases during which approximately zero pressure is applied to the chest a ventilator configured to deliver positive, negative, or approximately zero pressure to the airway; control circuitry and processor, wherein the circuitry and processor are configured to cause the chest compressing device to repeatedly deliver a set containing a plurality of systolic flow cycles, each systolic flow cycle comprising a systolic decompression phase and a systolic compression phase, and at least one diastolic flow cycle interspersed between sets of systolic flow cycles, each diastolic flow cycle comprising a diastolic decompression phase and a diastolic compression phase, wherein the diastolic decompression phase is substantially longer than the systolic decompression phase.

Abstract:
A resuscitation device for automatic compression of victim's chest using a compression belt which exerts force evenly over the entire thoracic cavity. The belt is constricted and relaxed through a motorized spool assembly which repeatedly tightens the belt and relaxes the belt to provide repeated and rapid chest compression. An assembly includes various resuscitation devices including chest compression devices, defibrillation devices, and airway management devices, along with communications devices and senses with initiate communications with emergency medical personnel automatically upon use of the device.
Abstract:
An apparatus for the production of ionized oxygen and ozone from pure oxygen. An adjustable high voltage power supply is connected to an ozone generator having at least one ozone generator therein. The HV power supply has a relatively low voltage setting for producing negative ionized oxygen and a relatively high voltage setting for producing ozone. A negative ionizer may be included to increase the concentration of negative ionized oxygen. Outputted gasses are directed to a hermetically sealed envelope positioned around and in spaced relation from the surface of a patient's injury. If the wound is infected, ozone is selectively used to treat the infection for a first predetermined period of time sufficient to neutralize the infection. After the wound is treated with ozone, negative ionized oxygen is selectively used to treat the wound for a second predetermined period of time sufficient to enhance the healing of the wound.
