US Patent:

20180125450, May 10, 2018

Filed:

Apr 25, 2016

Appl. No.:

15/568974

Inventors:

- Fort Detrick MD, US
Jose Salinas - Houston TX, US
Ronald D. Grisell - Fort Sam Houston TX, US

Assignee:

U.S. Government, as Represented by the Secretary of the Army - Fort Detrick MD

International Classification:

A61B 8/08
A61B 5/00

Abstract:

An embodiment of the invention provides a method including obtaining ultrasonic images of one or more vessel to be catheterized with an ultrasonic imaging device and identifying the center(s) of the vessel(s) with the ultrasonic images. One of the vessels is punctured with a needle based on the identifying of the center of the vessel. A guide wire is inserted into the vessel and maneuvered with guide wire ultra-sonic feedback control. The guide wire ultra-sonic feedback control includes obtaining ultrasonic images of the vessel and the guide wire in the vessel, and displaying the ultrasonic images of the vessel and the guide wire in the vessel to a user. A catheter sheath is inserted over the guide wire and maneuvered with sheath ultrasonic feedback control. The guide wire is removed and a catheter is inserted into the catheter sheath and maneuvered with catheter ultrasonic feedback control.

Abstract:

A system for assessing lung function in a patient is enclosed. The oxygen delivery system in the system (e.g., a ventilator or portable standalone system) preferably includes an oximeter sensor for receiving SpO2 from a patient. The assessing lung function in a patient includes an FiO2 adjust algorithm operable in logic circuitry in the ventilator that can control an oxygen fraction FiO2 provided to the patient in a closed loop fashion. In a preferred example, the algorithm controls FiO2 using the SpO2, but also displays a ratio of SpO2-to FiO2 (S/F) as a function of time. One or more S/F ratio threshold may be used to allow the clinician and/or the algorithm to understand a degree of lung injury, and to allow the algorithm to adjust FiO2 appropriately. Preferably, the algorithm keeps SpO2 to a range of 88-95%.
