SYSTEM FOR MAINTAINING RESPIRATORY FUNCTION THROUGH NEUROSTIMULATION OF PATIENTS CONNECTED TO ARVENTURAL VENTILATION DEVICES Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC A61M16/00 A61H31/02 A61N1/36 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical equipment, namely to a system for maintaining respiratory function by neurostimulation of patients connected to artificial lung ventilation devices. The system contains a communication unit with a ventilator. The system includes a human-machine interface unit, a processing, storage and control unit, an algorithmic unit, and a pulse shaping unit. The system has a block of electromyography electrodes and a block of stimulation electrodes. The communication unit with the ventilator includes a communication interface configured to receive data on the parameters of the ventilator and sensors that determine the amount of carbon dioxide, the amount of oxygen in the patient's blood, the volume of air entering the lungs, the frequency of inhalation and the frequency of exhalation, and transmitting data to the control unit of the artificial lung ventilation device about the parameters of the pulse shaping unit. The human-machine interface unit contains data input means for controlling the pulse shaping unit and information output means. The processing, storage and control unit is associated with ensuring the receipt and transmission of data with a communication unit with a ventilator and a human-machine interface unit, as well as with an algorithmic unit, the input of which is connected to the output of the electromyography unit, and the output to the unit for generating electrical pulses on the stimulation electrode block. The algorithmic unit is configured to synchronize the received data from the EMG sensors and the output data transmitted to the pulse shaping unit. The pulse shaping unit is configured to generate pulses to stimulate the intercostal muscles, diaphragm, abdominal muscles, cervical and thoracic spinal cord with different pulse parameters for each muscle type.

EFFECT: safe control of breathing for the patient and medical personnel in patients with acute respiratory distress due to diseases of viral or bacterial origin.
