Physiological Monitoring-Based Implantable Drug Infusion System

摘要

A system and method for physiological monitoring and regulation of a drug infusion device. The system includes an internal compact unit that is implantable in a patient having a pulmonary disorder, the internal unit encasing a power supply, a fluid reservoir, a motor pump, a digital control unit, and a radio frequency transmitter. An infusion catheter is connected to the fluid reservoir and motor pump for automatically infusing a drug into a right ventricle of the patient during a diastole phase of a cardiac cycle. The system includes an external unit for monitoring and storing a plurality of physiological parameters of the patient and for making adjustments to a drug infusion rate.
