The present disclosure belongs to the field of treatment devices, and specifically relates to a medicated thread drainage treatment device. The treatment device includes a first treatment unit used for postoperative pain relief and drainage; a second treatment unit used for promoting quick healing of a wound; a third treatment unit used for preventing deep venous thrombosis; and an electropneumatic, negative-pressure, electric stimulation multipurpose therapy apparatus connected with the first treatment unit, the second treatment unit, and the third treatment unit and providing electropneumatic pressure, negative pressure, and electric energy. The present disclosure is used for postoperative quick healing and recovery; promotion of clinical use guidelines will greatly reduce and even eliminate the postoperative complications, particularly postoperative complications of pulmonary embolism, thus saving patients' lives.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for the extracorporeal removal of protein-bound toxins from blood comprising at least one blood purification apparatus, in particular at least one dialysis machine, hemofilter or adsorber, as well as at least one means for generating a field in the blood purification apparatus and/or in an element in flow communication with the blood purification apparatus, in particular in a line section connected to the blood purification apparatus, wherein the means comprises at least two strip conductors which are arranged on at least two preferably oppositely disposed sides of the blood purification apparatus or of the element such that the field is preferably predominantly generated within the blood purification apparatus or preferably predominantly within the element.

A system for stimulating body tissue may include a stimulation lead, sensors, and a control unit. The stimulation lead may include one or more energy sources. The control unit may include a processor and non-transitory computer readable medium, and an interface (e.g., touch screen interface) for receiving user inputs and communicating information to the user. The sensors may be configured to provide impedance measurements to the control unit. The control unit may calculate lung gas distributions and/or generate an image modeling lung gas distributions. Stimulation delivered by the stimulation may be adjusted based on the impedance measurements.

Systems and methods are provided for portable and compact nitric oxide (NO) generation that can be embedded into other therapeutic devices or used alone. In some embodiments, an ambulatory NO generation system can be comprised of a controller and disposable cartridge. The cartridge can contain filters and scavengers for preparing the gas used for NO generation and for scrubbing output gases prior to patient inhalation. The system can utilize an oxygen concentrator to increase nitric oxide production and compliment oxygen generator activity as an independent device. The system can also include a high voltage electrode assembly that is easily assembled and installed. Various nitric oxide delivery methods are provided, including the use of a nasal cannula.

Devices and methods for allowing for improved assisted ventilation of a patient. The methods and devices provide a number of benefits over conventional approaches for assisted ventilation. For example, the methods and devices described herein permit blind insertion of a device that can allow ventilation regardless of whether the device is positioned within a trachea or an esophagus. In addition, the methods and device allow for timed delivery of ventilations based on a condition of a thoracic cavity to increase the amount and efficiency of blood flow during a resuscitation procedure.

A percutaneous electrical phrenic nerve stimulation (PEPNS) system that measures the patient Work of Breathing (WOB) of each type of ventilator breath and determines when to deliver electrical stimulus based upon the measured WOB. The PEPNS system alters its behavior based upon the type and origin of the ventilator breath delivered and provides warnings for certain identified interactions between the ventilator and the patient.

The mood adjuster device comprises: a housing; a plurality of detectors or sensors for obtaining information on the physical characteristics of an individual; a plurality of sensory stimulus generators for providing sensory stimulus to the individual; a controller that receives information from the detectors or sensors and analyzes the information to determine a physical treatment; a memory for storing the information received by the plurality of detectors or sensors, the analyzes performed by the controller and the physical treatment as applied by the sensory stimulus generators; a user interface to allow the individual to communicate with the controller; a medical practitioner interface for accessing information stored in the memory or for providing instructions to the controller or to interface directly with the individual; and a power supply.

A system and method is disclosed for detecting remaining battery voltage or capacity in an infusion device and generating alarms based on the detection. The battery lifetime extension method includes providing an infusion device that derives its power from a rechargeable battery. The infusion device may derive its power from a rechargeable battery. Furthermore, the infusion device receives, at predetermined intervals of time in real-time sensor data comprising: a voltage, a change in the voltage over the predetermined interval of time, an average current, a temperature, and a remaining voltage or capacity reported by a battery gas gauge integrated circuit (“IC”) associated with the rechargeable battery. An improved and customized neural network model utilizes the sensor data to determine an indicia of the actual remaining voltage or capacity of the rechargeable battery in real-time. The indicia may be used to lengthen and/or abate ongoing medical infusion therapy.

A ventilator system for a patient includes: an intubation tube configured to flow oxygen-enriched humidified air (OHA) toward patient lungs and to evacuate exhaust air exhaled from the lungs, the intubation tube includes: a distal end, configured to be inserted into patient trachea, and a proximal end, configured to be connected to tubes for receiving the OHA and evacuating the exhaust air; a first microgravity sensor, coupled to the intubation tube at a first position, and configured to produce a first signal indicative of a first micro-acceleration of the intubation tube at the first position; a second microgravity sensor, coupled to the intubation tube at a second different position, and configured to produce a second signal indicative of a second micro-acceleration of the intubation tube at the second position; and a processor, configured to control the ventilation system to apply a ventilation scheme responsively to the first and second signals.

A system and method is provided for healing a wound in a subject in need thereof. The system includes a wound dressing that has a therapeutic agent and at least one electrode in electrical communication with the therapeutic agent. The system also includes a power source in electrical communication with the at least one electrode and a vacuum source in fluid communication with the wound dressing.
