A new, portable, automatic resuscitator seeks respiratory signals and electrocardiogram of a victim in cardiac arrest through an intrapharyngeal sensor and a lingual-epigastric skin pathway. The resuscitator then assesses the status of the patient and delivers either an electric impulse to defibrillate or a pacing pulse, as indicated by an algorithmic logic circuit gated by respiratory rate and ECG. Field testing the device on 21 patients in ventricular fibrillation resulted in 35 successful conversions to sinus rhythm and 1 long-term survivor. Pacing was accomplished in two humans. Such a device has great potential for saving lives by eliminating crucial time now spent waiting for skilled help and equipment to arrive.
一种新型便携式自动复苏器，通过咽内传感器和舌-上腹部皮肤通道来寻找心脏骤停患者的呼吸信号和心电图。然后，复苏器评估患者状况，并根据由呼吸频率和心电图控制的算法逻辑电路的指示，输送电脉冲进行除颤或起搏脉冲。在21名室颤患者身上进行的现场测试中，有35次成功转为窦性心律，1名患者长期存活。两名患者完成了起搏。这种设备通过消除目前等待专业帮助和设备到来所花费的关键时间，具有巨大的挽救生命的潜力。
