[Transesophageal cardiac stimulator Stikar-39 for emergency therapy]

A portable "STICAR-39" apparatus for emergency transesophageal and endocardial pacing is described. The apparatus is the smallest, most light-weighed, and power-efficient transesophageal cardiac stimulator in the world. It is effective in emergency medical care, urgent and critical cases, surgery, resuscitation, and intensive therapy. The high cost-efficiency of the apparatus is achieved by using the original scheme of an impulse accumulator-converter of constant power supply voltage to the voltage of stimulating impulses.
