US Patent:

6390977, May 21, 2002

Filed:

Dec 11, 1996

Appl. No.:

08/764607

Inventors:

Nicholas Simon Faithfull - La Jolla CA
Glenn Rhoades - San Diego CA

Assignee:

Alliance Pharmaceutical Corp. - San Diego CA

International Classification:

A61B 500

US Classification:

600300, 600505, 600526, 600483

Abstract:

Systems are methods described for calculating, in real-time, various oxygenation parameters including total oxygen transport, mixed venous blood oxygen tension and mixed venous blood oxyhemoglobin saturation in a patient. The system preferably uses a computer, an arterial pressure line and a blood chemistry monitor to assist a physician in accurately determining when to give a patient a blood transfusion or otherwise alter the clinical management of that patient.

US Patent:

56344619, Jun 3, 1997

Filed:

Jun 7, 1995

Appl. No.:

8/487086

Inventors:

Nicholas S. Faithfull - La Jolla CA
Glenn Rhoades - San Diego CA

Assignee:

Alliance Pharmaceutical Corp. - San Diego CA

International Classification:

A61B 500

US Classification:

128637

Abstract:

A system and software is described for calculating, in real-time, the mixed venous partial pressure of oxygen in a patient. The system uses a computer, an arterial pressure line and a blood chemistry monitor to assist a physician with an on-line system for accurately determining when to give a patient a blood transfusion or otherwise alter the clinical management of that patient.

US Patent:

62349635, May 22, 2001

Filed:

Feb 9, 1998

Appl. No.:

9/020472

Inventors:

George T. Blike - Norwich VT
Nicholas Simon Faithfull - La Jolla CA
Glenn Rhoades - San Diego CA

Assignee:

Alliance Pharmaceutical Corp. - San Diego CA
The Trustees of Dartmouth College - Hanover NH

International Classification:

A61B 500

US Classification:

600300

Abstract:

A system and method is described for determining and graphically displaying oxygenation states of a patient in real time. The system is non-invasive and can display information to a physician that is intuitive. Various display objects are described for illustrating the output of oxygenation values. The display objects reflect the in vivo physiology that they measure, thus making interpretation of the measured values very intuitive.
