CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR) USING CHEST COMPRESSIONS SYNCHRONISED WITH ALTERNATING PRESSURE MECHANICAL VENTILATION
20220008288 · 2022-01-13 ·

Disclosed are systems and processes related to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). One embodiment of the system comprises an inspiration chamber and an expiration chamber, which work cooperatively to provide gas (e.g., Oxygen (O.sub.2)) to a subject (e.g., human patient) during inspiration and extract and expel expired gas (e.g., Carbon Dioxide (CO.sub.2)) from the subject during expiration as a medical professional applies CPR to the subject. In other words, this disclosure provides systems and processes that allow for substantially synchronous chest compressions with positive pressure active inspirations and, also, substantially synchronous chest decompressions with negative pressure active expirations.

SYSTEMS, DEVICES AND METHODS FOR MODULATING A RESPIRATORY DRIVE OF A PATIENT

A mechanical ventilation system comprises a plurality of ventilation therapy sub-systems. Each of the ventilation therapy sub-systems is adapted to assist a respiratory function of the patient. The system also comprises a detector of the respiratory drive of the patient, an operator interface receiving one or more control parameters, and a main controller. The main controller assigns a therapeutic contribution to each of the ventilation therapy sub-systems based on the respiratory drive of the patient and on the control parameters. The controller modulates the respiratory drive of a patient by controlling each of the plurality of the ventilation therapy sub-systems according to its assigned therapeutic contribution. Distinct ventilation therapy sub-systems may apply negative pressure on the abdomen of the patient, deliver a non-pressurizing inspiratory flow to the patient, or induce a positive pressure in the airways of the patient.
