System for combined transcutaneous blood gas monitoring and vacuum assisted wound closure

A method and apparatus for the transcutaneous monitoring of blood gases generally comprises a blood gas data acquisition device, a vacuum source and a blood gas transducer unit. The blood gas transducer unit is adapted for application to a patient's skin and administration of a local vacuum at the area of patient application. It further comprises an electrochemical blood gas transducer, well known to those of ordinary skill in the art, which is disposed entirely within the local vacuum at the area of patient application. The vacuum source is placed in fluid communication with the blood gas transducer unit, through a hydrophobic membrane filter for safety purposes, in order to induce a condition of hyperperfusion in the locality of the electrochemical blood gas transducer. Under the control of a microcontroller, or equivalent means, the blood gas acquisition device is then utilized to capture a measure of skin surface oxygen or carbon dioxide pressure. The microcontroller can then utilize this measure to arrive at an estimate of arterial partial pressure of oxygen or carbon dioxide, accordingly. Because vacuum induced perfusion produces the requisite condition of hyperperfusion without local heating and, therefore, without acceleration of the local metabolic function, the present invention results in more accurate than previously available estimates of partial pressure blood gas pressures and does so while eliminating a significant risk for injury to the patient.

Analysis of retinal metabolism over at least a portion of a cardiac cycle

Retinal metabolism is analysed with a retinal function camera over at least a portion of a cardiac cycle by first illuminating a portion of a retina of an eye 10 with light of a first wavelength and producing a first image. The portion of the retina is subsequently illuminated with light of a second wavelength, the first and second wavelengths being selected such that absorptivity of light of the first wavelength by oxygenated blood is greater than absorptivity of light of the second wavelength and the absorptivity of light of the first wavelength by deoxygenated blood is less than absorptivity of light of the second wavelength, to produce a second image. The first and second images are processed to map relative oxygenation of the portion of the retina as an indication of retinal metabolic function of the portion of the retina. The procedure is repeated over at least a portion of a cardiac cycle to analyse metabolic function changes of the portion of the retina within the at least a portion of a cardiac cycle. In some embodiments at least a portion of the retina is subjected to optical stimulation and effects of the optical stimulation on retinal metabolic function analysed.

System and apparatus for the non-invasive measurement of glucose levels in blood

InactiveUS20110230744A1Estimate degradedSensorsBlood characterising devicesD-GlucoseEngineering
A system for estimating the glucose levels in blood is developed in the present invention. Said system establishes a physiological model of the pulse wave and its energy, which are also correlated with the glucose metabolic function, for generating a fixed length vector containing the values of the previous model combined with other variables related to the user such as, for example, age, sex, height, weight, etc. . . . This fixed length vector is used as an excitation of a function estimation system based on “random forests” for the calculation of the interest variable. The main advantage of this parameter estimation system lays in the fact that it does not apply any restriction a priori on the function to be estimated, and that it is robust in front of heterogeneous data, such as in the case of the present invention.
