SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SENSING AND STIMULATION
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.
MECHANICAL VENTILATION SYSTEM FOR RESPIRATION WITH DECISION SUPPORT
The invention relates to a mechanical ventilation system (10) for respiration of a patient (5), the system being adapted for providing decision support for mechanical ventilation. Control means (12) is adapted for using both first data (D1) and second data (D2), indicative of the respiratory feedback in the blood, in physiological models (MOD) descriptive of, at least, lung mechanics, and/or gas exchange in the lungs of the patient, the physiological models comprising a number of model parameters (MOD_P). The control means is further arranged for simulating the effect on one, or more, model parameters (MOD_P) of the physiological models for a suggested value of the positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) setting for the ventilation means, and thereby provide decision support in relation to said suggested PEEP value. The invention is advantageous for providing mathematical based models of changes in physiology in response to changes in ventilator settings of the PEEP thereby allowing mathematical physiological models to predict changes in clinical variables for a given value of PEEP.
ONE-TOUCH VENTILATION MODE
Systems and methods for one-touch ventilation mode are disclosed. In examples, settings for a medical ventilator are determined and delivered to a patient with a minimum of one input parameter. The one-touch ventilation mode may reference or apply one or more respiratory mechanics planes to determine desired ventilation parameters. In an example, the input parameter may be mapped to initial ventilation settings on a respiratory mechanics plane. During ventilation delivered according to the initial ventilation settings, ventilation data may be obtained. Based on the ventilation data, one or more ventilation strategies may be implemented, including breath type strategy, alarming strategy, triggering/cycling strategy, and PEEP strategy. Updated ventilation settings may be determined based on the ventilation data and/or the ventilation strategy.

Method and system for controlled hyperthermia
Methods and for treatment of cancer and other diseases including complications from late stage viral infections by inducing hyperthermia in a patient relying on withdrawing blood from the patient and returning the withdrawn blood to the patient to establish an extracorporeal flow circuit. Blood is heated by passing through the extracorporeal circuit at a controlled rate until a target body core temperature in is achieved. Usually, the blood will be subjected to a continuously re-circulating dialysis to balance electrolytes. Additionally, the blood will be subjected to a continuously recirculating regeneration through a carbon sorbent column where toxins and contaminants are removed. The blood temperature is maintained at the target blood temperature for a treatment period, and the blood is cooled after the treatment period has been completed. The method can also be effective in treating rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, hepatitis, sepsis, the Epstein-Barr virus, and patients with life threatening complications from other viruses, including the COVID-19 virus. A method for removing viruses from the blood supply in an external circuit is also presented.
BLOOD PROCESSING SYSTEM
A blood gas management device comprises a blood passage having a gas-blood interface with a plurality of gas passages, and is arranged to direct a flow of supply gas from the gas inlets through the gas passages to the gas outlets, and to allow a flow of blood in a blood flow path through the blood passage to thereby permit an exchange of blood gas with the supply gas via the interface. The blood gas management device comprises a supply gas distribution arrangement allowing the supply gas to be provided from different directions relative to the blood flow path. This provides an improved gas-transfer gradient at different locations along the gas passage.
