Mild hypothermia (32-34?? C) treatment alleviates vital organ damage after cardiac arrest. A new cooling device, the Thermosuit?? operates by applying of a thin layer of water directly to the body surface. Hypothermic patients may experience sequential fibrillation. Therefore, we examined whether defibrillation could be administered safely and effectively in water. A 35 kg swine was anesthetized and...

A new hypothermia treatment, the Thermosuit™consists of the application of a thin layer of water to the body surface. Hypothermic-induced patients are often post-resuscitative and may experience sequential fibrillation. Therefore, we examined whether defibrillation could be administered safely and effectively in such a wet environment. A 35 kg swine was anesthetized and placed inside the Thermosuit...
A system was developed to simulate the operation of an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) console, and the corresponding patient response. It displays aortic pressure and left ventricular pressure as sliding waveforms in real-time, as well as all of the IABP controls. The system is designed to execute in a PC architecture. The embedded arterial model is based on a multiple-order nonlinear system model...
The authors examined the dynamics of an intra aortic balloon (IAB) in the aorta and its effect on the hemodynamic response of the cardiovascular system. A mathematical model was developed and in vivo animal experiments were performed. The model describes the balloon inflation and deflation as an aortic-pressure-dependent wavefront. To validate the model, X-ray images and hemodynamic waveforms were...
A computationally intensive approach to three-dimensional cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) reconstruction is described. This technique used semitransparent surface rendering to give a view of human left and right blood pools within the cardiac structure. Blood was given a colored solid surface, while the cardiac wall was semitransparent.<<ETX>>
