Patent ID: 8888737

Claim:
An apparatus for adaptive reperfusion that comprises a tissue condition monitor wherein the tissue condition monitor measures a measured tissue parameter associated with an ischemic tissue within a human body, a reperfusion controller operably connected to the tissue condition monitor and receiving input from the tissue condition monitor as to the measured tissue parameter of the ischemic tissue, and a reperfusate generator that is controlled by the reperfusion controller to create a reperfusate, the reperfusate controller comprising a processor and instructions for executing on the processor, wherein the instructions include at least one target therapy curve from which a target therapy curve can be selected and the at least one target therapy curve has at least one tissue reperfusion parameter that changes over time, and wherein the tissue condition monitor provides feedback to the reperfusion controller as to the measured tissue parameter to control the reperfusion generator to cause the measured tissue parameter associated with the at least one tissue reperfusion parameter to adjust the reperfusate so that the measured tissue parameter attempts to track the selected therapy curve as to the at least one tissue reperfusion parameter.
