  • Publication number: 20230405200
    Abstract: Methods and systems for delivering gas-enriched blood within a vasculature of a patient may include providing a gas-enrichment system, the gas-enrichment system comprising a mixing chamber and a blood pump. The process may include inserting a catheter for drawing blood from the patient into a radial artery of the patient. The process may include drawing blood from the radial artery or from a vessel upstream of the radial artery at a blood flow rate without collapsing the artery or vessel to a degree that would substantially impede drawing blood. The process may include generating a gas-enriched blood by mixing the withdrawn blood with a gas-enriched liquid in a mixing chamber. The process may include delivering the gas-enriched blood to the vasculature of the patient.

  • Publication number: 20230293799
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for controlling gas-enrichment, e.g., oxygen-enrichment, therapy. One or more sensors and/or one or more imaging systems may be used to measure or determine one or more physiological parameters of the patient. Feedback regarding one or more physiological parameters or microvascular resistance may be provided for titrating or controlling the gas-enrichment therapy.

  • Publication number: 20230099024
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for controlling gas enrichment therapy. One or more sensors is used to measure one or more physiological parameters, e.g., blood or tissue oxygen parameters, of the patient. A processor is used to generate based on the measured parameters an alert through a user interface indicating a value or level of the measured physiological parameter, which is indicative of an effectiveness of the gas enrichment therapy.

  • Publication number: 20220313885
    Abstract: A system delivers gas-enriched blood or liquid within the vasculature of a patient while partially obstructing a flow of blood within the vasculature of the patient. The system may include a first catheter configured for inserting into a vasculature of a patient to deliver gas-enriched blood or liquid to a region of the vasculature of the patient. The system may include a second catheter configured for inserting into the vasculature of the patient. The second catheter includes lumens and an occlusion structure configured to partially obstruct a flow of blood within the vasculature of the patient while allowing the first catheter to deliver the gas-enriched blood or liquid to the region of the vasculature, and to divert the blood flow to the region where the gas-enriched blood or liquid is delivered.
