MINIMALLY INVASIVE INTRAOPERATIVE MODULATION OF PATIENT PARAMETERS USING BAROREFLEX ACTIVATION

摘要

A baroreflex therapy system for providing intraoperative patient treatment. The system comprises an internal activation device adapted to be inserted into the throat area of a patient, an external activation device adapted to be located on the outside of a body of a patient such that an anatomical structure within the patient capable of creating a baroreflex response is located between the internal activation device and the external activation device, and an external controller, including a pulse generator operably connected to the internal activation device and the external activation device to deliver baroreflex therapy between the internal activation device and the external activation device.
