摘要

A medical apparatus comprises a pumping apparatus (22), sensors (26,28) for continuously and automatically sensing the blood fill status in a body part, means (30) for receiving and manipulating the signal to produce a generalization about the signal, and means operatively associated with the receiving and manipulating means for controlling the pumping apparatus in accordance with the generalization. The medical pumping apparatus continuously and automatically monitors fill status of the venous plexus and flow rate from the venous plexus and continuously and automatically controls the pressure and cycle rate of a pump capable of cyclically applying pressure to a part of the human body for the purpose of maximizing blood transfer therein.
