ABSTRACT:
A combination device are provided for a microcomputerized and enhanced type of external counterpulsation and extrathoracic cardiac massage apparatus. In addition to balloons for the 4 limbs, the device also comprises a pair of lower-abdomen-buttock balloons and a chest balloon. It is controlled by microcomputer process. The various sets of balloons are sequentially inflated from the distal portion to the proximal portion during the diastolic period of the heart beat. The pressure is applied from the distal to the proximal portion gradually onto the 4 limbs, lower abdomen buttock and lower portion of the sternum. At the beginning of the cardiac systole all of the balloons deflate simultaneously. The cycle is then repeated. This device used for the treatment of diseases of the heart, the brain, the kidneys, the isohemic disease of the retina and the peripheral vascular disease with apparent curative effect. For those cases of sudden cardiac arrest, the computer gives orders according to need, so that the above-mentioned sets of balloons exert pressure sequentially from the distal portion to the proximal portion to force the blood to the adbomen, the chest and the head. Thereafter the device deflates suddenly, and then again the balloons sequentially inflate from the proximal portion to the distal portion to force blood back to the lower portion of the body. Thus the circulation goes on wavelike in succession to support adequate output as well as adequate cardiac blood inflow, and improves the effect of resuscitation.
