20140236058 | COMPRESSION VEST FOR PATIENTS UNDERGOING HEMODIALYSIS AND IN CRITICAL CARE - A method of inhibiting hypotensive symptoms in a patient undergoing treatment or a procedure involves elastically constraining the internal organs within the abdomen of the patient while applying non-pulsating, compressive pressure to the internal organs within the abdomen of the patient. The method may also involve one or more of infusing fluid, applying the compressive pressure using compression device, or applying the compressive pressure based upon bio-indicator measurement parameters. | 08-21-2014 |

The method may also involve one or more of infusing fluid, applying the compressive pressure using compression device, or applying the compressive pressure based upon bio-indicator measurement parameters. | 04-21-2011 |
20090112129 | Anti-Pooling Vest For Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis And In Critical Care - An anti-pooling vest to be worn by a patient undergoing a hemodialysis procedure is disclosed for inhibiting intradialytic hypotensive symptoms in the patient during the course of hemodialysis treatment. The anti-pooling vest includes an inflatable bladder for applying a compressive pressure on the internal organs within the abdomen of the patient during the hemodialysis procedure to reduce the pooling of blood within the patient's internal organs. A pump, such as, for example, a manually compressible bulb or an electrically powered pump, in fluid communication with the bladder is operable to inflate the bladder to a predetermined pressure and a pressure relief valve in fluid communication with the bladder is operable to decrease the pressure within the bladder to the predetermined pressure. The anti-pooling vest may also be utilized to increase venous return in hypotensive patients in critical care suffering from blood or fluid loss by applying compressive pressure to the internal organs within the abdomen of the patient to reduce the pooling of blood within the patient's internal organs. | 04-30-2009 |
