Embodiments of the present invention encompass systems and methods for administering intrathoracic pressure and cooling treatments to patients suffering from or at risk of developing heart failure, cardiac arrest, sepsis, shock, acute respiratory distress syndrome, polytrauma, head disease, elevated hepatic or portal vein pressures, bleeding during abdominal, head and neck surgery, or insufficient circulation during open heart surgery.
摘要:
Medical techniques include systems and methods for administering a positive pressure ventilation, a positive end expiratory pressure, and a vacuum to a person. Approaches also include treating a person with an intrathoracic pressure regulator so as to modulate or upregulate the autonomic system of the person, and treating a person with a combination of an intrathoracic pressure regulation treatment and an intra-aortic balloon pump treatment.

An apparatus for treating an airway condition of a patient includes a handle sized to be hand-grasped by an operator and having an actuator mechanism to be selectively actuated by said operator. A needle is fixedly connected to the handle. The needle has an axially extending bore and a distal tip for penetrating into the airway tissue. An implant is disposed within said bore at the distal tip. The implant is formed of biocompatible material and is sized to be embedded within a tissue of said airway. The implant is ejected from the distal tip upon actuation of the actuator. The actuator has an indicator for indicating a position of the actuator and a lock for preventing movement of the actuator opposite a deployment direction.

A method and apparatus of occluding a lumen of a body cavity, more preferably, the lower uterine segment and/or cervix of a female patient is provided that results in a significant reduction or complete elimination of uterine bleeding, thereby providing a treatment option for conditions such as menorrhagia or dysmenorrhea.
摘要:
According to one aspect of the present invention, an apparatus and related kit are disclosed for treating an airway condition of a patient. A cartridge apparatus is disclosed for use in treating an airway condition of a patient and for use in combination with a handle sized to be hand-grasped by an operator and having an actuator mechanism to be selectively actuated by said operator. The cartridge includes a implant of biocompatible material sized to be embedded within a tissue of the airway. A needle has a distal tip for penetrating into the tissue. The needle has an axially extending bore. The implant is disposed within the bore at the distal tip. The cartridge has a proximal end adapted to be coupled to the handle for the implant to be ejected from the distal tip upon actuation of the actuator. The kit of the invention includes a container including a plurality of such cartridges.

A high-pass element of a filter assembly for a line connected to static converters having a high voltage level for filtering harmonics and damping resonance sites includes a first series circuit including a first capacitor, a first choke coil, and a second choke coil. A resistor is connected in parallel with the choke coils. A second series circuit is connected directly in parallel with the second choke coil. The second series circuit includes a second capacitor and a damping resistor. On the other hand, the second capacitor and the damping resistor may be in parallel with the second choke coil and at least one other series circuit may be connected in parallel with the second choke coil. The at least one other series circuit includes a series capacitor and a series resistor.
