<p>A control system for an arterial catheter (14) operable to selectively impede blood flow includes a processor (24) and a storage medium (26) accessible to the processor (24) that bears instructions which when executed by the processor (24) cause the processor (24) to execute logic including receiving a first signal representing a physical parameter associated with a patient in whom the catheter is disposed, receiving a second signal representative of time, and causing inflation of a first balloon (28) on the catheter to impede blood flow in the first artery. Based at least in part on the first signal satisfying a first condition, the instructions include causing deflation of the first balloon (28). Based at least in part on the second signal indicating elapse of a predetermined time period, the instructions include causing deflation of the first balloon (28) regardless of whether the first signal satisfies the first condition.</p> |
