    摘要: Improved sensors and sensing methods for detection of Neuromuscular Blockade (NMB), for example to improve monitoring generally, as well as facilitate automated NMB drug administration. The methods, systems, devices, etc., herein can increase the quantity and quality of data available. The methods, etc., include translation between commonly available sensing types, use of partially saturated sensor measurements, use of a model of neurotransmitter storage and release and sophisticated use of more than one sensor simultaneously. These methods are aided by new sensors and methods of decreasing electrical noise. An implementation of the methods, systems, devices, etc., herein is automated drug delivery for NMB, whether through an advisor system or through with full computer control.

    摘要: Patients undergoing general anesthetics frequently experience emergence clenching where the patient may bite onto their breathing tube and may clench their teeth. These activities lead to dental damage and negative pressure pulmonary edema. The invention of this patent is a simpler, better bite block that may be used to prevent these injuries. The bite block presented comprises a deformable material used as a core around which a bite-resistant material is wrapped to prevent damage to the core by patient biting. The bite-resistant material may be formed into a distal tail that the user can pull to retain or retrieve the device. It may also have a patch of adhesive to attach the bite block to locations including the patient, the surgical drapes and the patient's breathing airway, and thereby prevent loss of the bite block.

    摘要: Under- and overinflation of retention balloons and cuffs for catheters including Foley catheters, and for endotracheal tubes, tracheostomy tubes, laryngeal mask airways and similar devices is correlated with hospital acquired infections and with patient injury. In this patent, a solution that correctly inflates inflatable retention devices is taught, whereby a pressure release means is incorporated into the inflation pathway from the fluid input syringe to the retention means while inflating. This pressure release means can be set to open at or near the optimal fluid pressure so that overinflation can be prevented by releasing any pressure above the optimal pressure and underinflation can be prevented by a user pressurizing the cuff until the valve is noticed to open. As well, observation of fluid leaked through the pressure relief means can indicate misplacement of the retention means, allowing the user to reposition it before patient injury occurs. The invention is presented as a standalone part and in a format whereby the invention is integrated into existing airway cuff inflation designs.

    摘要: The present invention relates generally to methods of modeling and handling of nonlinearities for application of automatic control to systems with high inter-process variance and nonlinearities. The variance and nonlinearities make these systems difficult to control. Variance is accounted for by replacing the mathematical model of the system with a more representative model from a modelset that may or may not be chosen based on characteristics of the system under test, and then adapting using recursive estimation techniques. Nonlinearities defined by threshold to response and maximal responses are incorporated into linear models relating accumulated inputs to response. Example implementations in relation to automated drug delivery for neuromuscular blocking drugs through warning, advisory and closed-loop control systems are discussed.
