Abstract: Systems and methods for Endovascular Perfusion Augmentation for Critical Care (EPACC) are provided. The system may include a catheter having an expandable aortic blood flow regulation device disposed on the distal end of the catheter for placement within an aorta of a patient. The system may also include a catheter controller unit that causes the expandable aortic blood flow regulation device to expand and contract to restrict blood flow through the aorta.

Abstract: A heat flux gauge comprising first and second thermographic phosphor layers separated by a layer of a thermal insulator. The gauge may be mounted on a surface with the first thermographic phosphor in contact with the surface. A light source is directed at the gauge, causing the phosphors to luminesce. The luminescence produced by the phosphors is collected and its spectra analyzed in order to determine the heat flux on the surface. First and second phosphor layers must be different materials to assure that the spectral lines collected will be distinguishable.
