An electrode belt is provided for carrying out electrodiagnostic procedures on the human body. The electrode belt includes a belt (2), which is formed at least partially of an elastic material and surrounds the body of a test subject. A plurality of electrodes, are mechanically connected to the belt and are in flat contact with the body of the test subject. At least one contact passes from the electrodes through the belt (2) and is connected to a connection element (11), which is connected to a lead each of a multicore cable (6). Such an electrode belt offers marked advantages in terms of handling along with increased safety from movement artifacts.

An electrode belt for impedance tomography shall be improved such that it has a simple design and makes possible good contacting of the electrodes (2) with the body of the test subject to be examined. The electrode belt (1) has at least 16 electrodes (2) on an electrode holder or belt material (3), which is elastic at least in some sections. The belt formed of one or more belt material sections completely surrounds a test subject to be examined on the circumference of the body. Electrode feed lines (63) extend along the electrode holder (3). The electrode feed lines and are connected to a feed line (6) at least at one feed point (4) on the electrode holder (3).

摘要:
A device and a process for determining the change in the functional residual capacity (FRC) in a simple manner. Based on a first respiration phase for mechanical respiration, a recruitment maneuver is performed for this during a second respiration phase, and respiration is switched back to mechanical respiration during a third respiration phase. Reference values Uref/1, Uref/3 are formed from the end-expiratory values of the impedance measured signals U during the first respiration phase and the third respiration phase, and the difference ΔU (ΔFRC) between the reference value Uref/3 of the third respiration phase and the reference value Uref/1 of the first respiration phase is an indicator of the change in the functional residual capacity of the lung of the test subject.
摘要:
An electro-impedance tomography (EIT) system (2), with a computing unit (4) and a respirator (1) is described for gentle mechanical lung ventilation especially in case of atelectases. The presence, the extent and/or the spatial distribution of atelectases is detected by the EIT system (2) and sent to the respirator (1) so that the respiration pressure is increased step by step by the respirator (1) until the current image of the lung status corresponds to a first status image of healthy lungs or comes close to it with minimal deviations. The respiration pressure is subsequently reduced again step by step by the respirator (1) until the computing unit (4) detects a reduction of the ventilated lung areas and the respiration pressure is subsequently increased again by means of the respirator (1) to the last value at which no change occurred in the ventilated lung areas.

A process is provided for operating a respirator and/or anesthesia device in the APRV mode with at least one pressure release phase with the step of setting a first point in time for terminating the pressure release phase. The process includes measuring the electrical impedance and/or impedance change of the lungs and setting the first point in time such that the measured impedance and/or impedance change are taken into account. A device is provided for carrying out the process according to the present invention.
摘要:
A process with a corresponding device for lung ventilation involves recording an image of the lung status with an electric impedance tomography (EIT) system (2) and the total area of ventilated lung areas is determined by a computing unit (4) from all image values, subsequently divided into at least two lung areas and the extent of the homogeneity of the ventilated lung areas is determined by comparison of the impedance changes within these areas. In case of a homogeneity rated as being too low, the respiration pressures are increased step by step by means of the respirator (1) and the respiration pressure at which the greatest possible homogeneity is obtained from subsequently determined status images is determined by means of the EIT system (2). The respiration pressure is subsequently lowered again by the respirator (1) until the computing unit (4) detects a reduction in the homogeneity of ventilated lung areas, so that the respiration pressure is subsequently increased again by means of the respirator (1) to the last value at which no reduction in the homogeneity of the ventilated lung areas occurred.
