Patent ID: 8532763

Claim:
A cardiovertor/defibrillator comprising: a casing; electronics arranged within said casing; a detection device connected to said electronics; a stimulation device connected to said electronics; and the electronics being arranged to receive a detection signal from said detection device indicating a disorder of a body including at least one of a fibrillating heart and a heart infarct to process said detection signal and to generate a control signal for said stimulation device based on said detection signal in order to allow said stimulation device to generate a resuscitating stimulation in order to activate the respiratory centre in the brainstem and, in turn, counteract said disorder, the casing being designed as a nose plug arranged to be inserted into a nostril, and the stimulation device being arranged to stimulate a nasopharyngeal area of said mammal, the cardiovertor/defibrillator either: being designed such that the stimulating device comprises a spraying unit for distributing a chemical composition into the nostril, or being designed such that it comprises a thread, wire or fibre having a length such that it touches the pharyngeal area once the casing is inserted into the nostril, which thread, wire or fibre is connected to a motor and arranged to stimulate the nasopharyngeal area by a suitable mechanical movement as instructed by said electronics, or being designed such that it comprises a wire having a length such that it touches the pharyngeal area once the casing is inserted into the nostril, which wire is arranged to provide electrical stimulation signals to said wire as instructed by said electronics.
