Abstract
An ischemia control device is connected to a control unit that receives inputs from sensors and other surgical devices that senses patient conditions. The control unit uses the data inputs, as well as direct inputs from the medical operators, to output opening and closing instructions to the ischemia control device. The actuator on the ischemia control device receives the opening and closing instructions and manipulates the ischemia control device. The ischemia control device can be automatically operated using the sensed information to intermittently and alternately achieve ischemia of the organs and reperfuse the organs and, thereby, protect the organs from being damaged by the ischemia.
Claims20
An ischemia control device, comprising:
- a control unit,
- wherein the control unit is configured to:
- receive information that includes a monitored suction volume for suctioning bleeding,
- based on the received information, generate one of a clamp opening instruction and a clamp closing instruction, and
- output to a clamp unit one of the clamp opening instruction and the clamp closing instruction to regulate a flow of blood through a blood vessel clamped by the clamp unit.
An ischemia control device, comprising:
- a control unit configured to:
- receive information including a monitored suction volume for suctioning bleeding and one or more of image data or video data,
- determine if a treatment device is detected in one or more of the received image data or the received video data,
- in response to determining that the treatment device is detected, generate a clamp closing instruction, and
- output to a clamp unit the generated clamp closing instruction to regulate a flow of blood through a blood vessel clamped by the clamp unit,
- wherein the treatment device is different from the clamp unit.
An ischemia control device, comprising:
- a control unit configured to:
- receive information from a surgery energy device,
- based on the received information, generate one of a clamp opening instruction and a clamp closing instruction, and
- output to a clamp unit one of the generated clamp opening instruction and the generated clamp closing instruction to regulate a flow of blood through a blood vessel clamped by the clamp unit,
- wherein the surgery energy device is different from the clamp unit, and
- wherein the information includes a monitored suction volume for suctioning bleeding.
