Estimating the term…
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to devices, systems and methods adapted for implementing intermittent displacement of blood to mitigate peripheral nerve neuropathy such as that induced by chemotherapeutic agents (i.e., chemotherapy-induced neuropathy (CIN)) that are administered to a patient. Such devices, systems and methods advantageously provide for precise, uniform and controlled blood flow occluding (and optionally blood displacing) compression along irregular surfaces of an appendage of a patient. Such precise, uniform and controlled blood occluding compression is imparted upon the epidermal and dermis skin layers within the aforementioned areas of a patient's extremities to decrease the time that free nerve endings located in the epidermal and encapsulated nerve endings located in the dermis skin layers are exposed to nerve damaging chemotherapy chemicals, thereby substantially decreasing CIN caused by prolonged exposure to such chemicals.
A controller operable for performing system-managed pressurization of a compression exertion device, the controller being operable for performing said system-managed pressurization includes:
A controller operable to:
A controller operable for controlling operational parameters of a compression exertion device having a body part of a patient disposed within an interior space thereof during administering of a chemotherapeutic agent to the patient during a session of chemotherapeutic agent treatment, the controller being operable for controlling operational parameters of the compression exertion device includes the controller being operable for causing:
A controller operable for controlling operation of a compression exertion device having a portion of a body of a patient disposed within an interior space thereof during administering of a chemotherapeutic agent to the patient during a session of chemotherapeutic agent treatment thereto, operation of the compression exertion device restricting blood flow through capillary blood vessels within dermis tissue of the portion of the body, the controller being operable for controlling operation of the compression exertion device includes the controller being operable for:
