Apparatus And Method For Measuring Myocardial Oxygen Consumption
US Patent:
2007027, Nov 29, 2007
Filed:
Feb 16, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/707138
Inventors:
Guillermo Gutierrez - McLean VA, US
International Classification:
A61B 5/00
US Classification:
600325000
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method to determine a cardiac characteristic determined at a proximal end and a distal end of a pulmonary artery catheter. The present invention also relates to a method of treating a patient based on a determination of a determined difference between a cardiac characteristic a proximal end and a distal end of a pulmonary artery catheter.
Apparatus And Method For Measuring Myocardial Oxygen Consumption
US Patent:
7181260, Feb 20, 2007
Filed:
Nov 12, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/987505
Inventors:
Guillermo Gutierrez - McLean VA, US
International Classification:
A61B 5/00
US Classification:
600325, 600323, 600324
Abstract:
Disclosed is a pulmonary artery catheter (“PAC”) that is used in determining myocardial oxygen consumption. Myocardial oxygen consumption is of critical importance because decreased myocardial energy utilization during acute illness may lead to tissue hypoperfusion, multiple organ failure, and eventually death. The inventor has discovered that myocardial oxygen consumption is a function of the difference in oxygen levels in atrial and mixed venous blood. The invention has further discovered that differences in lactate, glucose or any other measurable blood concentration metabolite in atrial or superior vena cava and mixed venous blood can also be used in determining myocardial oxygen consumption.
