Regional Anesthetic Method And Apparatus
US Patent:
7931594, Apr 26, 2011
Filed:
Nov 2, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/555965
Inventors:
Robert A. Hirsh - Merion Station PA, US
Assignee:
The Cooper Health System - Camden NJ
International Classification:
A61B 8/14
US Classification:
600454, 600437, 600449, 600463, 604264
Abstract:
A system and method for regional anesthesia using ultrasound to assist in locating the anesthetic needle are disclosed. One or more piezo-electric crystal transducers is placed either at the tip of the needle or near the tip of the needle on a stylet which is inserted into the lumen of the needle. The transducer(s) are pulsed with ultrasonic frequency, the reflected ultrasonic signals from structures are detected and converted into a digital signal and may be displayed in an oscilloscopic format to indicate anatomical structures forward to the needle and allow the medical professional to avoid errors and/or increase efficiency and accuracy. An array of transducers can be pulsed in a phased array fashion to generate a 2D image, or a single transducer can be pulsed to generate a 1D image. A 2D image can also be obtained by mechanically sweeping a single transducer, for example by means of a miniature motor in or at the base of a needle or stylet.
Method And Device To Administer Anesthetic And Or Vosactive Agents According To Non-Invasively Monitored Cardiac And Or Neurological Parameters
US Patent:
2009012, May 14, 2009

International Classification:
A61M 21/00
US Classification:
600301, 128898, 600509, 600529, 600544, 12820314, 604503
Abstract:
A method of and a device for non-invasively measuring the neurological depressed state and the hemodynamic state of a human patient and involving steps and units of non-invasively measuring EEG, cardiac cycle period, electrical-mechanical interval, mean arterial pressure, and ejection interval and converting the EEG into a neurological index as well as converting the measured electrical-mechanical interval, mean arterial pressure and ejection interval into the cardiac parameters such as Preload, Afterload and Contractility, which are the common cardiac parameters used by an anesthesiologist. A general anesthetic is administered based upon the converted neurological index. A vasoactive agent is independently administered based upon the converted cardiac parameters as necessary in order to restore cardiovascular homeostasis in the patient. The converted neurological and hemodynamic state of a patient are displayed on a screen as an index value and a three-dimensional vector with each of its three coordinates respectively representing Preload, Afterload and Contractility. Therefore, a medical practitioner looks at the screen and quickly obtains the important and necessary information.
Non-Invasive Method And Device To Monitor Cardiac Parameters Without Use Of Electrical-Mechanical Interval
US Patent:
7761141, Jul 20, 2010
Filed:
Mar 22, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/689934
Inventors:
Robert Hirsh - Merion Station PA, US
International Classification:
A61B 5/029
US Classification:
600513, 600485, 600508, 600526
Abstract:
A method of and a device for non-invasively measuring the hemodynamic state of a subject or a human patient involve steps and units of non-invasively or minimally invasively measuring cardiac cycle period, mean arterial pressure, stroke volume, diastolic interval and ejection interval and converting the measured mean arterial pressure, stroke volume, diastolic interval and ejection interval into the cardiac parameters such as Preload, Afterload and Contractility, which are the common cardiac parameters used by an anesthesiologist. In the current invention, the use of electrical-mechanical interval has been eliminated for various advantageous reasons. The converted hemodynamic state of a patient is displayed on a screen as a three-dimensional vector with each of its three coordinates respectively representing Preload, Afterload and Contractility. Therefore, a medical practitioner looks at the screen and—quickly obtains the important and necessary information.

Abstract:
A system and method for endotracheal intubation of airways are disclosed. A malleable stylet having a distal end and a proximal end, a charged coupled device (CCD) at the distal end and a transmitter, at or near the proximal end or connected to the proximal end of the stylet with connectors, transmits video to a visualization device comprising a receiver means, a display means, and a display support adapted to be worn on an operator in a position so that the operator can view the display with one eye while simultaneously viewing the airway directly. The display support is typically worn on the head of a physician. A second display can be worn by a student or observer. In some instances, the transmitter means and receiver means are wireless.
