    摘要: The present invention provides a system and a method for estimating changes in cardiac pumping capacity in response to an intervention from data recorded by an accelerometer positioned on an outer surface of the heart. Interventions such as intravenous administration of nitroprusside, betablocker, epinephrine (adrenaline), or changes in the intravascular volume such as by fluid filling, are considered. It is shown that it is possible to directly correlate changes in cardiac pumping capacity to changes in parameters or graphical representation derived from signals characteristic to the acceleration an outer surface of the heart. In particular, it is shown how the effect of the interventions can be directly read from these parameters or graphical representations, and can thereby assist in decisions regarding the treatment of a cardiac surgery patient. The invention is preferably used in a post-surgery monitoring unit for surveillance of cardiac surgery patients.

    摘要: A method for interconnection of two tubular organs via an opening at one end of an end portion of a first organ and an aperture in a side wall of a second organ. The end portion is initially passed through a first passage of a first element until the end portion projects past an end edge of the element, whereupon the end portion is everted round the end edge. Gripping parts of a second element with a second passage are then inserted in the second organ via the aperture. Finally, the first element with the everted portion of the first organ is inserted in the second passage, whereby the gripping parts are influenced in such a manner that they come into engagement with the inside of an edge portion of the aperture. A device for implementation of the method.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method and a post-operative care unit for analysing and quantifying an ultrasound tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) signal from a transducer fastened on the myocardium to obtain a parameter indicating regional cardiac ischaemia or correlates with global hypokinetic heart function. This has the advantage over manually operated probes that it can be automated and used continuously over long time. According to the method, a TDI signal trace corresponding to at least one of tissue velocity, strain or strain rate is extracted and correlated with an electrocardiogram to define subsections within a cardiac cycle in the extracted trace corresponding to the early systolic phase and the post-systolic phase. Then, a velocity, strain or strain rate is read in at least the post-systolic phase of the extracted trace, and a parameter which is a function of one of these readings and which indicates ischaemia or global hypokinetic function is generated.
