Abstract
A method of treating a patient with liquid medicament under circumstances where intravenous injection is not practical but the fast response time of an intravenous injection is desirable, including the treatment of individuals undergoing heart attack symptoms with t-PA. The method comprises the steps of injecting the liquid medicament t-PA preferably with a blood absorption enhancing agent such as hydroxylamine hydrochloride into the muscle tissue of the patient, applying to the patient which has received the injection repeated blood flow stimulating cycles, each of which includes a period of electrical stimulus during which the muscle tissue which has received the injection tenses followed by a period of no electrical stimulus during which the muscle tissue which received the injection is allowed to relax inducing enhanced blood flow within the muscle tissue, and continuing the application of the repeated blood flow stimulating cycles until the injected liquid medicament has been sufficiently absorbed into the enhanced blood flow to achieve a desired possible patient response of reperfusion and apparatus for carrying out the method.
