Abstract

A system for decreasing the blood flow of a targeted organ in case of bleeding or a medical requirement includes an integrated electrostimulator and a subsystem.

Claims (16)

1. A system to decrease the blood flow of a targeted organ in case of bleeding or a medical condition of a patient, the system comprising:

an integrated electrostimulator comprising an electrode configured to be placed to the skin of the patient, the electrode configured to apply electrostimulation to decrease blood flow, and

a subsystem comprising:

a processor included in the subsystem,

a sensor input device comprising a blood pressure measurement and a pulse detector unit, and

a user interface device to enable a user to enter wound area or bleeding area information into the system,

the processor executed to determine where application of electrostimulation by the electrode decreases blood flow according to analyzed blood pressure, pulse and inputted wound area or bleeding area information, and the processor further executed to display a location on the skin of the patient where the electrode should be placed through at least a skin map.

2. The system according to claim 1 , the user interface comprises a selection, based on the inputted blood pressure and pulse data, of a power of blood decreasing level in the targeted organ.

3. The system according to claim 2 , comprising an integrated visual and acoustic alarm system.

4. The system according to claim 1 , further comprising a high current blocker device configured to block currents at the electrode exceeding 15 mA to avoid skin burning.

5. The system according to claim 4 , further comprising thermoelectric coolers to cool the skin around the electrode.

6. The system according claim 1 , the user interface device comprises a display unit.

7. The system according claim 6 , the display unit comprises a touch screen display.

8. The system according to claim 6 , where each of: the integrated electrostimulator, the display unit and the blood pressure measurement and pulse detector unit are individually operable.

9. The system according to claim 1 , the integrated electrostimulator is configured to apply a bipolar electrical signal with stimulation frequency between 60 Hz and 90 Hz and pulse duration between 0.1-300 microseconds.

10. The system according to claim 1 , the integrated electrostimulator is configured to apply a bipolar electrical signal with stimulation frequency at 80 Hz and pulse duration between 0.1-300 microseconds.
