    摘要: A method of continuously, non-invasively determining the cardiac output of a patient. The method includes intermittently measuring the cardiac output, the volume of carbon dioxide exhaled by the patient per breath, and determining the arterial-venous gradient of the patient or a similar substantially constant value by dividing the volume of carbon dioxide exhaled by the measured cardiac output. The arterial-venous gradient or similar substantially constant value may then be employed to determine the cardiac output of the patient on a breath-by-breath basis. The carbon dioxide elimination, which is non-invasively measured as the volume of carbon dioxide exhaled by the patient per breath, is divided by the arterial-venous gradient or the substantially constant value to determine the cardiac output. The method may also include generating a signal to compensate for any non-metabolic changes in the carbon dioxide elimination, arterial-venous gradient, or other respiratory or blood gas profile measurements that may be caused by a change in ventilation or breathing of the patient. The compensatory signal may be employed to modify one or more of the respiratory or blood gas profile measurements in order to facilitate the accurate determination of cardiac output during or after changes in ventilation or breathing.

    摘要: A contact medium structure attachable to externally-applied medical diagnostic devices for providing self-adherence of the medical device to the skin of a patient thereby eliminating the need for belts or similar means. The contact medium is inherently adhesive, hydrophilic, skin-compatible, ultrasonic-compatible and pressure sensitive to facilitate self-adhesion of the medical device to the patient's skin. A particularly suitable contact medium is a mesh-reinforced hydrogel film which adheres to the device and extends beyond the perimeter of the device to provide additional adhesiveness and compliance with the contour of the patient's body. A support element associated with and extending beyond the perimeter of the medical device adheres to the contact medium and provides adjustability of the extended hydrogel film relative to the patient's skin.

    摘要: A formable reusable enclosure is disclosed for use as a container wrap, a mailing tube, or the like. One specific embodiment of the enclosure comprises a pliable, elongated, substantially rectangular panel member having opposing ends and a tongue portion extending from one of the opposed ends. The panel member has an outer layer of bendable kraft board and an inner layer of corrugated paper adhered to the kraft board. The panel member is adapted to be formed into an enclosure by bending the panel member into the configuration of the peripheral wall of a container with the tongue portion overlapping the opposing end of the panel member. A slot is formed through the panel member adjacent to the end which is opposite to the tongue portion end. The slot has an engagement edge aligned parallel to the corrugations in the inner paper layer, enabling adjustment of the size of the enclosure by selecting a desired corrugation for engagement with the slot edge. The selected corrugation locks against the engagement edge when the tongue portion is inclined at an acute angle with respect to the outer kraft paper layer, thereby preventing the tongue portion form withdrawing from the slot.

    摘要: An apparatus for reversing inhaled anesthesia, which is configured to be positioned along a breathing circuit or anesthesia delivery circuit, includes a filter for removing one or more anesthetic agents from gases passing therethrough, as well as a component for elevating CO2 levels in gases that are to be inhaled by an individual. The apparatus is configured to be positioned between a Y-connector of the breathing circuit and the portion of the breathing circuit that interfaces with the individual. The CO2 level-elevating component facilitates an increase in the ventilation of the individual without resulting in a significant decrease in the individual's PaCO2 level and, thus, a decrease in the rate at which blood flows through the individual's brain. A method of reversing the effects of inhaled anesthesia includes increasing the rate of ventilation of an anesthetized individual while causing the individual to inhale gases with elevated amounts of CO2 and while filtering anesthetic agents from such gases.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods for non-invasively determining cardiac output using partial re-breathing techniques are disclosed in which the apparatus is constructed with an instantaneously adjustable deadspace for accommodating differences in breathing capacities of various patients. The apparatus is constructed of inexpensive elements, including a single two-way valve which renders the apparatus very simple to use and inexpensive so that the unit may be readily disposable. The method of the invention provides a novel means of estimating cardiac output based on alveolar CO2 values rather than end-tidal CO2 values as previously practiced. A program for calculating cardiac output is also disclosed.
