Abstract

A system includes a guidance device that provides feedback to a user to compress a patient's chest at a rate of between about 90 and 110 compressions per minute and at a depth of between about 4.5 centimeters to about 6 centimeters. The system includes a pressure regulation system having a pressure-responsive valve that is configured to be coupled to a patient's airway. The pressure-responsive valve is configured to remain closed during successive chest compressions in order to permit removal at least about 200 ml from the lungs in order to lower intracranial pressure to improve survival with favorable neurological function. The pressure-responsive valve is configured to remain closed until the negative pressure within the patient's airway reaches about −7 cm H2O, at which time the pressure-responsive valve is configured to open to provide respiratory gases to flow to the lungs through the pressure-responsive valve.

Abstract

A system for removing device signals from surface electrical signals received from an ambulatory patient worn device is provided. The system includes a wearable cardiac monitoring device configured to be continuously worn by a patient. The wearable cardiac monitoring device includes signal generation circuitry to provide a device-generated signal having a predetermined frequency; a skin-contacting surface to inject the device-generated signal into a skin of the patient; an electrode to acquire the surface electrical signal from the skin of the patient; and processing circuitry. The surface electrical signal includes a device-generated signal and a physiological signal generated by the patient. The processing circuitry samples the surface electrical signal from the patient, identifies, based on the predetermined frequency, aliasing content generated by the device-generated signal within the surface electrical signal, filters the aliasing content generated by the device-generated signal to isolate the physiological signal, and provides the physiological signal.

Abstract

Data samples derived from raw physiological data captured by sensors of a wearable medical device monitoring a patient's heart, such as a first ECG channel data sample, a second ECG channel data sample, and/or a cardio-vibrational data sample, are applied to a multi-tier machine learning engine to determine a cardiac condition measure traditionally calculated based upon information typically derived in a laboratory or clinical setting. A first tier of the multi-tier machine learning engine may analyze the physiological data sample(s) using first machine learning classifier(s) to obtain a first result. The first result may then be applied to second machine learning classifier(s) of a second tier of the machine learning engine, along with physiological metrics and/or patient clinical information, to determine the cardiac condition measure.

The system primes the circuit while the catheter is connected to the circuit by controlling a first flow control mechanism to close to prevent blood flow through the draw line to a catheter and causes a pump to circulate blood in a first direction through a mixing chamber and/or through a bubble trap that removes air bubbles from the circuit. The system controls a second flow control mechanism to close to prevent blood flow in a return line to the catheter while causing the first flow control mechanism to open after the second flow control mechanism is closed and while causing the pump to circulate the blood in a second, opposite direction through the mixing chamber that removes air bubbles from the circuit.

Abstract

A chest compression device includes a piston to apply compression to the sternum and incorporates leaf springs simultaneously driven by the piston to apply lateral compression to the thorax during chest compressions. A motor in the chest compression device provides motive power to cyclically extend and contract the piston to provide therapeutic chest compressions. One end of each leaf spring is operably connected to the piston and the other end of each leaf spring is secured to the backboard/base or to a support leg of the chest compression device such that during extension of the piston, each leaf spring is compressed against the device base or leg which causes the springs to flex and provide lateral compression of the patient's thorax in addition to the sternal compression of the piston.

Therapeutic current control networks are described that are quasi-resonant and boost a voltage of an electrotherapeutic waveform delivered to the patient. Therapeutic current control networks are also described that may switch between a parallel resonance mode and a series resonance mode. Systems are described that may utilize one or more of soft switching, wide bandgap materials and a bidirectional power supply.

Abstract

A system for facilitating resuscitation includes: a first electrode assembly having a therapy side and a first motion sensor; a second electrode assembly having a therapy side and a second motion sensor; processing circuitry operatively connected to and programmed to receive and process signals from the first and second motion sensors to estimate at least one of a chest compression depth and rate during administration of chest compressions and to compare the chest compression depth or rate to a desired range; and an output device for providing instructions to a user to administer chest compressions based on the comparison of the estimated chest compression depth or rate to the desired range. One or both of the electrode assemblies may be constructed so that the conductive therapeutic portion is able to maintain substantial conformance to the anatomy of the patient when coupled thereto. For example, at least a portion of the flexible electrode pad may be able to flex from a more rigid sensor housing, or the sensor housing itself may be relatively small compared to the flexible electrode pad so as not to cause lift off of the therapeutic side from the patient.

The baseline generator is configured to record a baseline ECG signal, generate one or more ECG templates, and store the one or more ECG templates in the memory. The cardiac event detector is configured to select an ECG template and compare a current ECG signal with the selected ECG template to determine whether the patient is experiencing a cardiac arrhythmia. The mode selector is configured to identify whether any ECG templates are stored in the memory, determine whether a new ECG template is needed, and, upon determining that a new ECG template is needed, enter a baselining mode by activating the baseline generator.
