Patent number: 12257206Abstract: A CPR machine (100) is configured to perform, on a patient's (182) chest, compressions that alternate with releases. The CPR machine includes a compression mechanism (148), and a driver system (141) configured to drive the compression mechanism. A force sensing system (149) may sense a compression force, and the driving can be adjusted accordingly if there is a surprise. For instance, driving may have been automatic according to a motion-time profile, which is adjusted if the compression force is not as expected (850). An optional chest-lifting device (152) may lift the chest between the compressions, to assist actively the decompression of the chest. A lifting force may be sensed, and the motion-time profile can be adjusted if the compression force or the lifting force is not as expected.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2023Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: PHYSIO-CONTROL, INC.Inventors: Anders Nilsson, Jonas Lagerstrom, Bo Mellberg, Anders Jeppsson, Marcus Ehrstedt, Bjarne Madsen Hardig, Fredrik Arnwald, Erik von Schenck, Paul Rasmusson, Sara Lindroth, Fred Chapman, Ryan Landon, Mitchell A.

Patent number: 12089985Abstract: The disclosed non-invasive blood pressure systems and methods measure a patient's blood pressure without restricting blood flow. Other sensors, such as physiological sensors, sensors that sense data about the NIBP system components, and/or environment sensors sense data that is combined with the NIBP signal. The combined NIBP and sensor signals are used to measure a patient's non-invasive blood pressure.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2018Date of Patent: September 17, 2024Assignee: Stryker CorporationInventors: Clinton T. Siedenburg, Arthur T. Lounsbery, Mitchell A. Smith, Robert G. Walker

Publication number: 20240298999Abstract: Non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) systems and methods are disclosed that measure a blood pressure, and in some examples a beat-to-beat blood pressure, of a patient without restricting blood flow. The NIBP systems determine an efficacy of administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to the patient based on the measured blood pressure and are able to optionally output the CPR efficacy or generate user prompts based on the CPR efficacy. Further, the disclosed NIBP systems can generate user instructions to administer further treatment to the patient based on the CPR efficacy.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2024Publication date: September 12, 2024Inventors: Clinton T. Siedenburg, Arthur T. Lounsbery, Mitchell A. Smith, Robert G. Walker

Patent number: 11830613Abstract: A prehospital telemedicine system comprises a physiologic monitor; an electronic patient care reporting system (ePCR) system; and a point-of-care blood analyzer communicatively coupled to the physiologic monitor and the ePCR system. The point-of-care blood analyzer is configured to perform an analysis of a blood sample based on an indication of a need for a specific blood analysis provided by one of the physiologic monitor and the ePCR system, and to automatically transmit a result of the analysis to a remote data receiving system. The indication of a need for a specific blood analysis may be based upon any one of the following: vital signs data obtained for a patient by the physiologic monitor; and/or current documentation or past medical history captured on or available through the ePCR system.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2021Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Physio-Control, Inc.Inventors: Robert G. Walker, Tyson G. Taylor, Alexander Esibov, Mitchell A. Smith

Patent number: 11406839Abstract: A defibrillation device for administering an electrotherapy, such as a dual-sequential defibrillation (DSD) electrotherapy. The defibrillation device can include a defibrillation therapy module, a physiological parameter module and a control module. The defibrillation therapy module can output one or more energies and the physiological parameter module can receive one or more physiological parameters, including electrocardiogram (ECG) data. The control module can analyze the physiological parameters to determine an indication for the administration of an electrotherapy and can determine a DSD electrotherapy. The DSD electrotherapy can be based at least in part on the physiological parameters, the indication for the administration of an electrotherapy or a review of the ECG data.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2020Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: Physio-Control, Inc.Inventors: Fred W.
