  • Patent number: 7997269
    Abstract: The system and method includes a treatment device such as an anesthetic machine or IV, a monitor and a display configured to display real-time PK/PD data associated with an anesthetic agent administered to the patient. The system and method further includes a safety control means configured to control the display such that one of a basic display state, an interactive effects display state, and a display inhibited state is selected and displayed according to the anesthetic agents and levels of the same being administered to the patient.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 4, 2007
    Date of Patent: August 16, 2011

  • Publication number: 20070255159
    Abstract: The present invention is a system and method of independent control and regulation of blood gas, sedation, and pulmonary resistance using an intravascular membrane catheter. The system and method monitors a patient to determine whether the patient requires an adjustment of his level of sedation, pulmonary vascular resistance, or some other pre-determined physiological blood concentration that can be controlled by adjusting metabolic and inhaled anesthetic gas concentrations in the blood. A gas mixer or blender combines the O2 with the required gases, and the IGEC is reset to administer the gas mixture. To add an inhaled anesthetic such as desflurane, enflurane, halothane, isoflurane, sevoflurane, or some other anesthetic known in the art, the blended gases are directed through an anesthetic vaporizer, for example the TEC 5, TEC 6, TEC 7, or the Aladin™ vaporizer which are commercialized by GE Healthcare.
