International Classification:

A61B 5/04

US Classification:

600513000

Abstract:

An approach for improving the chances of survival of an individual who has received a trauma including, for example, hemorrhage or blunt injury, by providing more relevant information regarding the individual to first responders including at least one of heart rate variability index value, a baroreflex sensitivity value, and a pulse pressure. This information being used in at least one implementation to provide medical treatment to injured individuals including dispatching assistance and/or prioritizing in a triage situation increasing the speed at which these decisions can be made. In one exemplary embodiment, the heart rate variability index value is determined based on the relative power of the high frequencies versus the relative power of the low frequencies. In one exemplary embodiment, the pulse pressure is determined based on the difference between systolic pressure and diastolic pressure.

A61B 5/352

Abstract:

The invention in at least one embodiment includes a method for providing a beat determination based on signals from a plurality of medical sensors in substantially real time, said method including: receiving in at least two analysis modules at least one signal (including an ECG signal and/or a pulse signal) from at least one medical sensor such that at least one analysis module receives one ECG signal and at least one analysis module receives one pulse signal; in each analysis module processing one signal through a plurality of detection algorithm modules to produce at least one quantitative decision, fusing the quantitative decisions together with a fusion module, and outputting at least one detected peak from the fusion module to an aggregation module; and producing from the aggregation module a series of detected peaks based on detected peaks received from the analysis modules. In a further embodiment, the detected peaks produced by the aggregation module are used to determine heart rate variability/complexity. At least one embodiment includes a system for performing any of the above methods.

A61B 8/00

Abstract:

An embodiment of the invention provides a method to measure fluid within a body cavity where data is received with an interface , the data being received from an ultrasound transducer. A three-dimensional sonographic image is generated with an image generator connected to the interface , the three-dimensional sonographic image being generated from the data received from the ultrasound transducer. The body cavity is identified in the three-dimensional sonographic image with an image processor connected to the image generator ; and, an area of fluid in the body cavity in the three-dimensional sonographic image is identified with the image processor . The volume of the area of fluid is calculated using the three-dimensional sonographic image and a stacked crescents process, a spherical fill process, a convex hull process, and/or a triangulation process.
