CONTROL SYSTEM FOR ARTERIAL CATHETER

摘要

A control system for an arterial catheter operable to selectively impede blood flow includes a processor and a storage medium accessible to the processor that bears instructions which when executed by the processor cause the processor 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 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. 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 regardless of whether the first signal satisfies the first condition.

1. Control system for an arterial catheter operable to selectively impede blood flow in a first artery to augment blood flow in a second artery, comprising:
at least one processor; at least one computer readable storage medium accessible to the processor and bearing instructions which when executed by the processor cause the processor to execute logic comprising: 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; causing inflation of a first balloon on the catheter to impede blood flow in the first artery; based at least in part on the first signal satisfying a first condition, causing deflation of the first balloon; and based at least in part on the second signal indicating elapse of a predetermined time period, causing deflation of the first balloon regardless of whether the first signal satisfies the first condition.
