Title:
METHODS OF ACHIEVING INCREASED FLUID DISTRIBUTION WITH AND PATIENT KITS FOR RESUSCITATION SYSTEMS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/039860
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A system for providing cardiopulmonary resuscitation or circulatory support to a patient, comprising a control unit (30), an inflatable chest cuff (50), an inflatable abdominal (60) cuff, an inflatable leg cuff (70), an intravenous (IV) line (380) to one of the patient's blood vessels, a ventilator module including a face mask (40) for providing fluid communication to the patient's lungs, electrodes (310, 312 attached to a surface of the inflatable bladder for connection to a defibrillator or other patient monitoring or treatment systems such as an ECG, a patient platform or backboard (100) configured for disposition against the patient's back during use; and a cuff prepositioning system (320,330,340) configured to secure the chest and abdomen cuffs to the patient platform in a ready position and to facilitate rapid deployment of the cuffs for use on the patient. A method of rehabilitating a patient's cardiac/pulmonary activity and achieving increased fluid distribution, comprising the steps of: placing an inflatable chest cuff over the patient's chest for forcing air out of the patient's lungs and another inflatable cuff over the patient's abdomen for applying pressure to the underlying vessels to direct blood into the patient's chest area; connecting an intravenous (IV) line to one of the patient's blood vessels, the chest and abdominal cuff inflation and deflation serving as multiple external circulatory pumps to increase the fluid infusion rate.
