    摘要: Several techniques are provided for aiding in the discrimination of detected biological signals indicative of blood pressure from detected signals not indicative of blood pressure (e.g., noise). A threshold, based predominantly on a level of noise, is developed and used in the discrimination. A second threshold, based predominantly on levels of previously detected biological signals, is developed and additionally used to help discriminate the biological signals from noise. The biological signals are detected during a selected portion of a cardiac cycle, and additional signals detected outside of the selected portion of the cycle are applied to the detected signals. Another threshold may be developed based predominantly on a level of signals sensed by a transducer positioned to preferentially sense noise; the transducer is positioned so that the noise that it detects is related to noise that is detected during the detection of the biological signals. Blood pressure is measured during periodically scheduled measurement cycles, and a measurement cycle is suspended if noise exceeds a predetermined level. The times at which the detected signals (i.e., the signals indicative of blood pressure and the signals not indicative of blood pressure) are processed during a given cardiac cycle are selected based at least in part on the pressure of the cuff. The biological signals indicative of blood pressure that are detected during a current measurement cycle are used to at least in part determine the times at which the detected signals will be processed during a succeeding measurement cycle.

    摘要: An infusion system for administering multiple infusates at individually programmable rates, volumes, and sequences in any order from any one or more of plural fluid input ports through a patient output port and into the circulatory system of a patient. Infusates may be either continuously or time sequentially administered, and infusates may be either intermittently administered at selectively regular intervals or in time overlap to administer a dilution. Various error conditions are automatically detected and alarms generated in the event of conflicts between infusates, to identify times of no infusions, and to identify system malfunctions. The system is selectively operable, among others, in a priming mode, a maintenance mode, a normal-on mode, and a manual override mode. The system is operative to adapt actual to desired flow rates in normal operation. All fluids flow through a unitary disposable cassette without making any other system contact. Air bubbles in the fluid line are automatically detected and disposed of. Fluid pressures are monitored and system operation adjusted as a function of such pressures. Infusates may be administered from syringes as well as from standard bag or bottle containers. Infusate from a selected input port may be controllably pumped into a syringe for unsticking the syringe plunger. The system is selectively operable to adjust total fluid volume and rate to below preselected values for patients whose total fluid intake must be restricted. The system is operable to maintain an accurate record of total infusion history. The system may be controlled by a terminal or a computer located remotely from the patient location. The system may include auxiliary pumps in addition to a primary pump, all controlled by a single computer.

    摘要: A stethoscope, operable in an acoustic or electronically augmented mode, is disclosed. In one electronically augmented mode of operation, the stethoscope simultaneously provides the listener with combined unmodified, familiar audible sounds and sounds which have been electronically augmented to bring them within the human auditory range. Additionally, a timing sound may be provided along with the unmodified, familiar audible sounds and electronically augmented sounds to assist the listener in determining when sounds occur in the heart cycle. The timing sound may be enabled in the acoustic mode of stethoscope operation so that the listener can place familiar audible sounds within the heart cycle.
