Abstract: A handheld ultrasound guiding system for the transcutaneous delivery of a needle into blood vessel that can be used to then deliver a guidewire, the battery powered light-weight device consisting of a phased array ultrasound generator, a transducer probe, a screen, computer processor that is mechanically coupled to a needle holder mounted at an angle to the ultrasound probe, the needle is mounted such that it can be advanced into a target blood vessel that is being visualized real-time by the ultrasound probe.
Abstract: An inspiratory resistor valve system (IRV) to regulate intrathoracic pressure during positive pressure breathing, spontaneous inspirations, and CPR may include an inspiratory port. The IRV system may include patient port. The IRV system may include a separate expiratory port. The IRV may include a plurality of atmospheric pressure sensitive valves. The plurality of atmospheric pressure sensitive valves may isolate the expiratory port and the inspiratory port from one another.
