Ultraviolet area sterilizer and method of area sterilization using ultraviolet radiation
An ultraviolet area sterilizer (UVAS) is mobile or stationary. The UVAS is positioned in a room, such an operating room or intensive care unit. Motion detectors sense movement, to assure that personnel have evacuated the space to be sterilized. Subsequently, UV-C generators, such mercury bulbs, generate UV-C from multiple locations within the room or other enclosed space. Multiple UV-C sensors scan the room, and determine the area reflecting the lowest level of UV-C back to the sensors. The device calculates the time required to obtain a bactericidal dose of UV-C reflected back to the sensors. Once an effective bactericidal dose has been reflected to all the sensors, the unit notifies the operator and shuts down.

An improved system for safely and accurately placing intracranial catheters by using techniques from the field of artificial intelligence (AI) which combine the output from in vivo ultrasonic sensors with in vivo video cameras and an embedded inertial measurement unit. The AI subsystem synthesis the output from the three sensors to determine an optimal route to the desired intracranial site while avoiding larger blood vessels en route. Additionally, by using the output from the inertial measurement unit, the catheter's complete trajectory can be recorded and made available for post-operative analysis. The entire system is portable so that it can be used outside of the hospital operating room, for example, in an intensive care unit. Compared to standard freehand methods of placing intracranial catheters, the system embodied here will reduce concomitant hemorrhaging while increasing the accuracy of catheter placement.

The present invention provides methods and apparatus for determining a dynamical property of the systemic or pulmonary arterial tree using long time scale information, i.e., information obtained from measurements over time scales greater than a single cardiac cycle. In one aspect, the invention provides a method and apparatus for monitoring cardiac output (CO) from a single blood pressure signal measurement obtained at any site in the systemic or pulmonary arterial tree or from any related measurement including, for example, fingertip photoplethysmography.According to the method the time constant of the arterial tree, defined to be the product of the total peripheral resistance (TPR) and the nearly constant arterial compliance, is determined by analyzing the long time scale variations (greater than a single cardiac cycle) in any of these blood pressure signals. Then, according to Ohm's law, a value proportional to CO may be determined from the ratio of the blood pressure signal to the estimated time constant. The proportional CO values derived from this method may be calibrated to absolute CO, if desired, with a single, absolute measure of CO (e.g., thermodilution). The present invention may be applied to invasive radial arterial blood pressure or pulmonary arterial blood pressure signals which are routinely measured in intensive care units and surgical suites or to noninvasively measured peripheral arterial blood pressure signals or related noninvasively measured signals in order to facilitate the clinical monitoring of CO as well as TPR.

Rib fracture score and protocol
InactiveUS7225813B2Promote recoverySurgeryDiagnostic recording/measuringRespiratory careMortality rate
Multiple rib fractures in trauma patients are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Delayed morbidity for patients with rib fractures is often a result of hypoventilation leading to atelectasis, pneumonia and respiratory failure. Pain management was first recognized as an important factor in preventing complications in these patients. Later, management of the respiratory system became more widely recognized as a major factor in, patients' care. It is now known that patients with multiple rib fractures benefit most from adequate pain control, rapid mobilization, and meticulous respiratory care to prevent complications. A rib fracture score and protocol based on a synthesis of the existing literature is developed. The protocol is directed to decisions about rapid mobilization, respiratory support, and pain management interventions to decrease the length of patients' stay in intensive care units.
