Abstract:
A resuscitation system for use by a rescuer for resuscitating a patient having a ventricular arrhythmia, comprising circuitry and processing configured for detection of chest compression/phase timing information indicative of the start of the decompression phase, circuitry and processing configured for delivery of electromagnetic therapy for the termination of ventricular arrhythmias, wherein the circuitry and processing for the delivery of electromagnetic therapy utilizes the chest compression phase timing information to initiate delivery of the electromagnetic therapy within 300 milliseconds of the start of the decompression phase.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an instrument which aids the rescuing person in the cardiopulmonary resuscitation process applied for the patients concerning the field of the cardiac resuscitation. SOLUTION: The instrument aids the rescuing person when the CPR is applied for a patient and is provided with at least one of a pulse sensor for measuring the number of pulses of the patient and SpO2 for measuring oxygen in blood, an electronic apparatus which processes the outputs of the sensor to judge one or more actions which should be carried out by the rescuing person to improve the existing CPR and a reminder for conveying one or more of the actions to the rescuing person.

Abstract:
A device for assisting a caregiver in delivering cardiac resuscitation to a patient, the device comprising a user interface configured to deliver prompts to a caregiver to assist the caregiver in delivering cardiac resuscitation to a patient; at least one sensor configured to detect the caregiver's progress in delivering the cardiac resuscitation, wherein the sensor is configured to provide a signal containing information indicative of ventilation; a memory in which a plurality of different prompts are stored, including at least one ventilation progress prompt to guide the rescuer's performance of ventilation; a processor configured to process the output of the sensor to determine a parameter descriptive of ventilation progress and to determine whether the ventilation progress prompt should be selected for delivery. Possible parameters descriptive of ventilation progress include ventilation rate, delivered tidal volume, and flow rate.
Abstract:
A very-simply-structured and easy-to-use device for maintaining negative pressure under the skin which is capable of generating such negative pressure that speeds up the metabolism of the cells under the skin to allow activation of the cells. The device (1) for maintaining negative pressure under the skin comprises a stuck part (10) to be stuck to the skin (S), and a holding part (20) which is placed on the skin (S) so as to from above cover the stuck part (10) stuck to the skin (S), thereby holding the stuck part (10) at a predetermined position. The stuck part (10) stuck to the skin (S) is lifted and held at the predetermined position by the holding part (20) to maintain the state of the negative pressure generated under the lifted skin (S).
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a resuscitation system for use by a rescuer for resuscitating a patient, the resuscitation system incorporating defibrillation therapy and resuscitation prompts.SOLUTION: The resuscitation system includes: at least two high-voltage defibrillation electrodes 12, 14; a first electrical unit comprising circuitry for providing resuscitation prompts to the rescuer; a second electrical unit separate from the first unit and comprising circuitry for providing defibrillation pulses to the electrodes; and circuitry for providing at least one electrical connection between the first and second units. In another aspect, the system includes at least two electrical therapy electrodes, circuitry for monitoring ECG, an activity sensor for the patient, and at least one processor configured for estimating the patient's current activity by analyzing the output of the activity sensor, analyzing the ECG, and determining whether electrical therapy should be delivered to the electrodes.
