    摘要: A system (1500) for treating and/or preventing a disorder in a subject in need thereof, the system (1500) comprising: at least one processor (1402); and a cardiac rhythm anagement, CRM (1404), containing a disorder treatment application comprising a plurality of modules executable on the at least one processor (1402), the plurality of modules comprising: a reflex stimulation module (1506) for delivering at least one stimulation to modulate at least one reflex chosen from a swallowing reflex, a negative-pressure reflex, and any combination thereof, wherein: the disorder is chosen obstructive apnea, central apnea, mixed apnea, snoring, flow limitation, obesity hypoventilation syndrome, dysphagia, esophageal reflux, laryngeal reflux, pharyngeal reflux, presence of unswallowed bolus, acid reflux, GERD" and any combination thereof; each of the at least one stimulations is delivered with parameters chosen from subthreshold parameters insufficient to independently elicit the reflex and a suprathreshold parameters sufficient to independently elicit the reflex; and the at least one stimulation is delivered in response to at least one stimulation signal; and a graphical user interface, GUI, module (1418) for generating one or more forms used to receive inputs to the system (1500) and to deliver output from the system (1500).

    摘要: In one embodiment, a method of rehabilitating a patient's cardiac/pulmonary activity and achieving increased fluid distribution, includes placing one inflatable/deflatable chest cuff over the patient's chest area and another inflatable/deflatable cuff over the patient's abdominal area, the chest cuff, when inflated, being arranged to depress the chest and force air out of the patient's lungs, the abdominal cuff being arranged, when inflated to apply pressure to the underlying vessels to direct blood into the patient's chest area; inflating and deflating the chest cuff and the abdominal cuff; connecting an intravenous (IV) line to one of the patient's blood vessels, the IV line connected to a fluid source, to facilitate the distribution of medications, by enhancing IV medication and fluid infusion rates, the chest and abdominal cuff inflation and deflation serving as multiple external circulatory pumps to increase the fluid infusion rate. In another embodiment, a patient interface kit includes an inflatable chest cuff adapted to extend over a patient's chest, the cuff including an inflatable bladder and a fastener system to secure the cuff in position for use on a patient, and at least a first electrode attached to a surface of the chest cuff and positioned to be adjacent the patient's heart with the cuff secured in position on the patient's chest, and a second first wiring lead configured for attachment to a utilization device. In another embodiment, a patient interface kit for a system for providing cardiopulmonary resuscitation or circulatory support to a patient, the system including a control unit, the kit including an inflatable abdominal cuff adapted to extend over a patient's abdomen and including an elongated flexible strap, an inflatable bladder and a fastener system to secure the abdominal cuff in position for use on a patient; an inflatable chest cuff adapted to extend over a patient's chest and including an elongated flexible strap, an inflatable bladder and a fastener system to secure the chest cuff in position for use on a patient; a patient platform or backboard configured for disposition against the patient's back during use; and a cuff prepositioning system configured to secure the chest and abdomen compression cuffs to the patient platform in a ready position and to facilitate rapid deployment of the cuffs for use on the patient.
