ABSTRACT:
This invention provides an assist to a monitor for apnea of infants and very young children. Monitors for such problems are well known, but the usual signals from these monitors are flashing lights or audible sounds. These signals from the monitor may be unobserved or not responded to by an attendant. The present assist apparatus is provided so that the patient is stimulated at the first actuation from the monitor. There are two areas of the patient receptive to such stimulation; a first area is the sole of a foot and the other area is at the neck. At the foot, a shoe is provided with a motor or reciprocated plunger to vibrate or lightly engage the skin of the patient. At the neck area, a removable collar with motors or reciprocating plunger is provided to lightly engage the skin of a patient. Either separately or in combination, the patient is stimulated to an aroused condition absent an attendant. Electrical energy or pressurized air may be utilized.
