Abstract
A device and method for monitoring the heart rate of a patient for a bradyarrhythmia event and thereafter administering medications is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of monitoring heart rate via at least one sensor secured to the neck or head of a patient; and if a bradyarrhythmia event is determined; applying an anticholinergic medication to the conjunctiva of at least one eye and releasing ammonia vapor in close proximity to the nostrils of a patient.
Claims5
A method for monitoring a patient's heart rate using at least one sensor attached to the neck or head of the patient and dispensing a medication onto the conjunctiva of at least one eye automatically in response to a bradyarrhythmia event comprising the steps of:
- monitoring heart rate via the at least one sensor attached to the neck or head of the patient to determine a bradyarrhythmia event;
- and,
- if a bradyarrhythmia event has occurred, automatically dispensing an anticholinergic medication to the patient and automatically releasing ammonia vapor.
A device for monitoring a patient's heart rate and dispensing a medication onto the conjunctiva of at least one eye comprising:
- an eyeglass frame having a bridge;
- a photoplethysmography sensor;
- a module connected to the eyeglass frame comprising:
- an input for operable connection to the photoplethysmography sensor;
- an ammonia inhalant;
- and, an alert mechanism selected from the group consisting of audible, vibration or both;
- and,
- a spray mechanism attached upon the bridge of the frame having a reservoir for containing a predetermined amount of anticholinergic medication;
- the spray mechanism having at least one nozzle for discharging the liquid medication.
