Applying pain inhibiting stimuli comprises the steps of sensing a need for the therapeutic painful stimulus, preparing to deliver the pain inhibiting stimuli to the patient prior to applying the therapeutic painful stimulus, and delivering the pain inhibiting stimuli to the patient prior to applying the therapeutic painful stimulus. The method and apparatus are embodied in modern, fully automatic, fully implantable, single or dual chamber atrial or ventricular cardioverter-defibrillators. The pain inhibiting prepulse method is intended primarily for use in conscious patients but may also be used in sleeping patients.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for delivering a truncated damped sinusoidal external defibrillation waveform which, when applied through a plurality of electrodes positioned on a patient's torso will produce a desired response in the patient's cardiac cell membranes is provided. The external defibrillator is utilized for applying a damped sinusoidal waveform having a first waveform phase and a second waveform phase to a pair of electrodes. The external defibrillator has a first capacitive component, a first inductive component, a first truncating switch, and waveform control circuitry. The waveform control circuitry of the defibrillator controls the first and second truncating switches such that the duration of the second phase waveform delivered by the second charge storage component is greater than the duration of the first phase waveform delivered by the first charge storage component.

    摘要: The present invention is an external defibrillator which controls and manages the formation of defibrillation waveforms. The waveforms are dynamically adjusted and created to be consistent with a myocardial cell response waveform. Dynamic tilt calculations based on time slices and corresponding functions based on best-fit models are used to generate the waveforms. The waveforms are dynamically adjusted to compensate for changes in resistance due to changes in the voltage during delivery of the waveform. The waveforms include a first and a second phase and are formed with minimal delay therebetween.
