Airway obstruction of horse .

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To relieve airway impairments in horses.;SOLUTION: Airway disorders in a horse are relieved by electrical stimulation of the airway tissue. Particular disorders and techniques include electrical stimulation to relieve laryngeal hemiplegia. A pacemaker processor generates an electrical treatment signal to be applied to upper airway tissue of the horse for treating the upper airway disorder. One or more stimulation electrodes interface with the upper airway tissue for delivering the treatment signal to the upper airway tissue. At least a portion of the device is implanted in the horse. The implanted portion of the device communicates percutaneously with the portion of the device located externally to the horse.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT
