Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method whereby vascular diseases of the extremities such as obliterating endarteritis (Endarteritis obliterans) as well as other diseases affecting the human extremities, e.g. rheumatism, are treated, and likewise to a device for carrying the method into effect.
  • vascular diseases of the extremities such as obliterating endarteritis (Endarteritis obliterans) as well as other diseases affecting the human extremities, e.g. rheumatism
  • the invention is concerned with both the method and the device for treating the aforementioned afllictions of the human extremities according to which the latter are put into a pressure chamber provided in the device and treated by an active (arterial) hyperemia and the creation of a differential barometric pressure between the extremity and the pressure chamber in case of decompression, and between the pressure chamber and the extremity in case of compression.
  • Vasotrein the light iron-made extremities
  • the devices Vasotrein are employed for 3,465,748 Patented Sept. 9, 1969 carrying the above method into effect, these devices be ing designed upon the principle of the apparatus of passive hyperemia which have been described in the magazine Medizinal-Markt, 1958, No. 9, pp. 321-322 published in German Federative Republic as well as in a prospectus issued by the firm Franz Itting, Ludwigsstadt, Bavaria, GFR.
  • the abovementioned device is essentially a pressure chamber made of a transparent material and on one of its sides provided with a locking chamber and an aircushion for pressurizing the extremity contained in the pressure chamber; provision is made inside the latter of a horizontal support for positioning the arm or leg being treated.
  • Both the method and the device mentioned afore find application in treating extremities affected with vascular diseases (both arterial and venous) of various origin and etiology which do not respond to any other therapeutic methods of treatment, the employment of the method in each particular case being the function of the kind, form and the degree of gravity of the disease being cured.
  • the above-said method may be considered to be resorted to for treating the following diseases (as stated in the above-mentioned prospectus of the firm Franz Itting): atherosclerosis, intermittent claudication, endoangiitis, Buergers disease, Raynauds disease, Sudecks disease, the initial stage of gangrene, frost-bite, joint deformity (deformatio articularis), posttraumatic lesions of vessels, circulatory disturbance due to thrombosis, or thrombophlebitis, varicose ulcer of the leg (ulcus cruris), varicosis, postpoliomyelitic paralysis.
  • atherosclerosis intermittent claudication, endoangiitis, Buergers disease, Raynauds disease, Sudecks disease, the initial stage of gangrene, frost-bite, joint deformity (deformatio articularis), posttraumatic lesions of vessels, circulatory disturbance due to thrombosis, or throm
  • the above-mentioned method of treatment due to too small difference between the barometric pressures of the extremity and that within the pressure chamber and low duration of decompression and compression phases (4 to 6 minutes), enables only the pumping of blood over from place to place, i.e. sucking it from the organism into the veins of the extremity in case of decompression phase, and expelling the blood back into the organism in case of compression phase, thereby affording rubbing massage to the tissues and blood vessels of the affected extremity.
  • no increase of gas exchange within the cells of hypoxic tissues takes place during decompression phase whereas in the course of compression phase it is suppressed sharply during 7-10 minutes that the curing procedure lasts.
  • the aforesaid method is known to provoke passive hyperemia in the affected extremity, this being due to the fact that while decompression phases are being built up, only the arterial blood inflow towards the veins takes place, and the venous blood outflow during decompression is passive; thus, in order to intensify the outflow of blood from the veins, compression phases are created in the course of the curing procedure. As a result, the outflow of venous blood increases whereas the inflow of arterial blood during compression phases becomes passive.
  • an active (arterial) hyperemia is created in the affected extremity contained in a pressure chamber, the negative barometric pressure inside said chamber being within the range of 680 to 400 mm. Hg, thus giving no possibility for the active hyperemia to be converted into the passive one.
  • a special stop capable of retaining the extremity fixed in position on a support contained within the pressure chamber, both the support and the stop being so made as to be free to travel in longitudinal direction with respect to the pressure chamber, and can be set in any predetermined position as to the chamber length by means of a locking device.
  • the abovesaid device for locking i position the support with the stop retaining the extremity is essentially a rack (a toothed rack in the case of preferred embodiment) which is made fast on the wall of the pressure chamber and a spring-loaded dog which is coupled to said support and is capable of engaging said toothed rack when pressing upon the support with the heel of the leg or with the first of the arm being treated.
  • flexible tying means be provided on the outside of said chamber, such as straps with which the patient is retained in place during the procedure.
  • a device which is employed for practicing the proposed method of treatment is essentially a cylindrical pressure chamber 1 made of a transparent material and provided at both end faces with air-tight flanges 2 and 3.
  • the flange 2 has an opening for the extremity to pass into the pressure chamber 1 and a hollow ring '4 with a hollow flexible collar 5 for pressurizing the extremity contained within the pressure chamber 1.
  • the ring which is inserted into the opening in the flange 2 is so selected as to suit the diameter of the extremity being treated.
  • Communicating with the hollow space of the aforesaid collar 5 is a flexible bulb 6 capable of inflating said space with air whereas provision is made on the flange 2 for a valve 7 for regulating the pressure inside the hollow space of the collar '5.
  • a horizontal support 8 mounted on guides 10 along which said support is free to move in longitudinal direction with respect to said chamber, a stop 9 being provided on said hori- Zontal support to hold in place the extremity being treated.
  • the support 8 is connected to a spring-loaded dog 11 which is capable of being engaged with a toothed rack 12 when pressing upon said support, said toothed rack being made fast on the wall of said pressure chamber beneath the support 8.
  • the spring-loaded dog 11 and the toothed rack 12 in conjunction with each other form a locking device with which the support 8 can be locked in any preset position within the pressure chamber with respect to the length thereof.
  • the pressure chamber 1 is mounted on a carriage 13 which at its front is provided with a device 14 for lifting the chamber 1 which is needed for convenient disposition of the extremity under treatment.
  • An electrically driven pump 15 capable of building up a pressure inside the pressure chamber 1 can be mounted on a control board.
  • the patient should be subjected to a comprehensive examination by way of general analyses as well as to special investigations such as thermometry of the skin in the affected extremity, arterial oscillography, capillaroscopy, plethysmography as well as testing for oxygen content in the arterial and venous blood. According to indications thus obtained the kind and stage of the disease as well as its prognosis can be judged.
  • the ring 4 complete with collar *5 is to be so selected as to suit the size of the affected extremity, e.g. the leg, whereupon the latter is placed into the pressure chamber 1 so as to slightly touch the surface of the collar 5 of the ring 4. Then by pressing upon the heel rest of the support 8, the dog 11 is made to engage the toothed rack 12 whereby the extremity is fixed in position relative to the pressure chamber 1; this done, one should inflate the collar 5 of the ring 4 with air by manipulating the bulb 6 until the slight touch of the collar 5 and the surface of the extremity is attained.
  • the affected extremity e.g. the leg
  • the collar 5 expands and compresses the extremity; in such cases one should open the valve 7 and bleed the air away from the collar until the atmospheric air starts inflowing slightly into the pressure chamber through the contact area of the collar and the extremity which is indicated by a pressure gauge 18; after this the collar 5 is again inflated by using the bulb 6 until the former touches the surface of the extremity, taking care not to constrict the blood vessels excessively which can be easily checked by pressing upon the collar with the finger.
  • the procedure is terminated in the third phase with a decompression which lasts 5 to '7 minutes.
  • the main curative factor in the method involved consists in a decompression applied for 10 to 20 minutes since only this can intensify gas exchange in the cells and exert a curative effect upon the vessels whereas compression, on the contrary, suppresses gas exchange and therefore, affords only massotherapeutic effect and eliminates oedema of the extremity.
  • the initial two procedures are trial periods, in the course of which the necessary parameters of the curing procedure are selected.
  • the duration of decompression phases is administered to be the minimum, that is from 680 to 640 mm. Hg.
  • the degree of decompression is gradually increased by 5 or 10 mm. Hg until reaching the value which depends upon the kind and stage of the disease as well as upon the predetermined course of treatment.
  • the treatment procedure is preferably conducted with the patient inhaling oxygen.
  • the first coarse of treatment consists of 12 or 15 procedures, the maximum dosing of the negative pressure being within 680 to 635 mm. Hg.
  • the range of decompression in the initial two (trial) procedures is prescribed to be from 680 to 630 mm. Hg, and subsequently, from 645 to 580 mm. Hg, the duration of treatment being from 30 to 35 procedures.
  • the method of treatment described hereinabove is likewise applicable for curing the initial stage of hypertension in atherosclerosis of the human extremities.
  • the degree of decompression prescribed in treating polyarthritis infectiosa deformans ranges within 680 to 600 mm. Hg (with the leg bound up in case of weak veins), the number of procedures totalling up to 25 or 30.
  • the device of the present invention is likewise effective in treating torpid wounds and trophic ulcers where necessity arises of binding up the extremity with an aseptic bandage and using cotton wool. Considerable improvement and disappearing of painful sensations occur even after the initial 2-3 procedures while the complete recuperation comes after 15 to procedures, the results of treatment being most durable and persistent.
  • a method of treating vascular and other diseases of the extremities comprising placing the affected extremity in a pressure chamber, producing active hyperemia in said extremity while producing a negative pressure in the pressure chamber of 400 to 680 mm. Hg for increasing the difference in the partial pressures of oxygen in the blood and in the cells of tissues of said extremity to intensify gas exchange in the cells of hypoxic tissues, While preventing the abovesaid active hypermia from converting into a passive one during the period in which the extremity is in said pressure chamber.
  • a device for treating vascular and other diseases of extremities comprising: a pressure chamber adapted for receiving the affected extremity; a flexible collar on one side of said pressure chamber for pressurizing an extremity placed in said chamber; a support in the chamber for the extremity, means mounting said support within said pressure chamber for free longitudinal movement therein; stop means on said support for the extremity to bear against, and a locking device within said pressure chamber for holding said support in a preset longitudinal location within said pressure chamber, said locking device comprising a toothed rack in said pressure chamber, and a spring-loaded dog coupled to said support and engageable with said rack while pressing upon said support.
  • stop means is connected to said spring-loaded dog and is locked in position by the engagement of said dog with said rack.
