Resuscitation device and method for resuscitation
First Claim
1. A method for providing a resuscitating treatment of a human being, comprising:
- sensing at least one of human muscle activity, human breathing activity, human neural activity and human cerebral activity,determining whether said human being is in a state of developing apnoea by at least one processing unit based on said sensing,provoking an induced aspiration reflex by a resuscitating stimulation of a respiratory area of a human brain stem by providing a stimulus with a stimulation device to a location distant from said respiratory area of the human brain stem upon said at least one processing unit determining said state of developing apnoea, said location being one of a nasal filter of the human being and a nasopharyngeal area of the human being.

Abstract
A method for providing a resuscitating treatment of a human being, which has the following actions sensing human muscle activity, human breathing activity, human neural activity or human cerebral activity, determining whether the human being is in a state of developing apnoea by a processing unit based on the sensing, provoking an induced aspiration reflex by a resuscitating stimulation of a respiratory area of a human brain stem by providing a stimulus with a stimulation device to a location distant from the respiratory area of the human brain stem upon the processing unit determining the state of developing apnoea, the location being a nasal filter of the human being or a nasopharyngeal area of the human being.

9. A resuscitation device for humans comprising:
-
a sensor configured to detect a number of parameter values in a human being; at least one memory configured to store a predetermined function; at least one processing unit connected to the sensor and the memory and configured to process the number of detected parameter values in said predetermined function to determine whether said human being is in a state of developing apnoea; a response device connected to the processing unit and configured to provide a response as a function of the number of processed parameter values by the at least one processing unit when said at least one processing unit has determined that said human being is in said state of developing apnoea; wherein said resuscitation device is an apparatus comprising both said sensor, said memory, said at least one processing unit and said response device, said apparatus being configured to be attached under a human'"'"'s nose, said sensor being configured to sense breathing activity, and said response device comprising a stimulation device configured to provoke an induced aspiration reflex by a resuscitating stimulation of the respiratory area of the human brain stem by providing a stimulus to one of a nasal filter of the human being and a nasopharyngeal area of the human being. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
