Abstract: A bow shaped pulse meter for new-born patients, comprising a control unit arranged in a central portion of the pulse meter, a first arm with an integrated first electrode and a second arm with an integrated second electrode extending respectively in a bow from opposite sides of the central portion, the integrated electrodes are configured to be in contact with a patient body (not shown) when in use, the electrodes being further electrically connected to the control unit.

Abstract: A bow shaped pulse meter for new-born patients, comprising —a control unit (21) arranged in a central portion (3) of the pulse meter (1), a first arm (2) with an integrated first electrode and a second arm (2) with an integrated second electrode extending respectively in a bow from opposite sides of said central portion (3), —said integrated electrodes are configured to be in contact with a patient body (not shown) when in use, said electrodes being further electrically connected to said control unit (21).

Abstract: Pulse meter comprising a first electrode (4) and second electrode (5), which are adapted to be arranged in contact with a patient body part (9). The first and the second electrode (4, 5) are arranged on a first arm (1) and a second arm (2), respectively. The first and second arm (1, 2) extend out from a central portion (3), and the respective first ends (4a, 5a) of the first and second arm (1, 2) are arranged to be bent away from each other when the pulse meter (10) is being arranged into the applied position on the patient body part (9).

Abstract: Resuscitation assembly (101) comprising a patient mask (107), a ventilation bag (105), an inflation valve (113), an exhalation valve (111), and an expiration indicator (119). The expiration indicator (119) is a positive end expiratory pressure valve in the form of a slit valve that exhibits a slit (131) in a flexible sheet part (125). Also disclosed is a resuscitation assembly (101) comprising a patient mask (107), a ventilation bag (105), an inflation valve (113), an exhalation valve (111), a positive end expiratory pressure valve (119), and a pressure sensor (133) adapted to measure pressure on the patient side (127) of the positive end expiratory pressure valve (119).

Abstract: Device for simulating variable lung compliance, comprising a structure having two main components (3, 4) between which an artificial lung (1) is situated, the main components (3, 4) being adapted to be moved away from each other by the lung (1) when the lung is inflated and are adapted to move towards one another to force air out of the lung (1) in an exhalation phase; and a biasing means (17, 18) acting to provide a force that acts to move the two main parts (3, 4) towards one another. The biasing means comprises at least one spring (17, 18), which is selectively attachable to impose the force, upon actuation by a spring holding mechanism (22, 32).

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved pulse simulator and to an improved method for simulating pulse. It comprises a palpation conveyor connected with a flexible pump means. The flexible pump is operatively coupled to a solenoid arranged about a fixed core. The solenoid is magnetized and demagnetized by an electrical energy source causing back and forth motion of the solenoid, with consequential expansion and contraction of the flexible pump means, thereby releasing fluid in back and forth direction to the palpation conveyor for generating pulse sensation.

Abstract: Medical patient simulator comprising a torso (2) that contains an artificial lung (6), a chest skin (3) and means (8, 9) for pulling the chest skin (3) downward in an area corresponding with an area where such retractions occur on a human being. The simulator also provides for changes in the compliance of the lung (6). The lung (6) is situated between two plates (5, 7), the spacing of which can be adjusted. The torso (2) has one actuator (23, 24) on each side of the back to simulate muscular activity. It includes a system for control of pneumatic functions by measuring a representative pressure for each actuator and stopping the filling when a pre-set pressure is reached. It also includes a head with one or more air cushions in a fontanelle area on the head, which may be filled with air to simulate an increased pressure in the brain.
