PORTABLE EXTRACORPOREAL RESUSCITATION CONSOLE

将开发便携式体外复苏控制台（PERC）作为体外循环（ECC）应用的标准设备。ECC已经发展超出了其在心脏手术和血液透析中的传统功能，现在正在用于急诊室和心导管实验室的紧急心肺复苏术，低温受害者的快速升温，癌症和HIV患者的高温治疗以及血液滤过。如果有一个通用的标准ECC系统，足以满足各种ECC应用程序的需求，ECC的这些创新用途将得到极大的增强和更广泛的应用。PERC系统将ECC硬件和一次性用品集成到一个通用控制台中，并配有中央数据处理和控制计算机。PERC将能够提供心肺支持、高/低温治疗和血液滤过。设置将得到简化，预充将自动化，因此PERC可在不超过10分钟内使用。第一阶段将包括电子元件之间的数据和电源连接的设计。将配置一次性ECC电路元件，以便于加载和访问。控制台组件将采用三维计算机渲染设计，并将在第二阶段用于系统构建和测试。拟议的商业应用：预计大量急诊室和心脏病学实验室将使用PERC系统，这将提供巨大的潜在市场。另一个可能的市场是重症监护病房的ECLS。

A portable extracorporeal resuscitation console (PERC) will be developed as a standard device for applications of extra corporeal circulation (ECC). ECC has evolved beyond its traditional function in cardiac surgery and hemodialysis, and now is being used for emergency cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the emergency room and cardiac catheterization laboratories, rapid warming for hypothermia victims, hyperthermic therapies for cancer and HIV patients, and hemofiltration. These innovative uses of ECC would be greatly enhanced and more widely employed if a standard ECC system existed that was versatile enough to meet the demands of various ECC applications. The PERC system will integrate ECC hardware and disposables into a common console, with a central data processing and control computer. PERC will be capable of providing cardiopulmonary support, hyper/hypothermic therapy and hemofiltration. Setup will be simplified, and priming automated such that PERC can be employed in no more than ten minutes. Phase I will include the design of data and power connections between electronic components. Disposable ECC circuit elements will be configured for ease of loading and accessing. The console packages will be designed in a 3 dimensional computer rendering, which will be used in Phase II for system construction and testing. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS: A large number of emergency rooms and cardiology laboratories would be expected to use the PERC system, providing a large potential market. Another likely market is ECLS in intensive care units.
