摘要:
In order to measure an oxygen saturation in blood of a subject, a living tissue of the subject is irradiated with a first light beam having a first wavelength and a second light beam having a second wavelength different from the first wavelength. A first electrical signal is generated from the first light beam reflected from or transmitted through the living tissue. A second electrical signal is generated from the second light beam reflected from or transmitted through the living tissue. The first electrical signal is divided into a plurality of first segments each of which includes a part of the first electrical signal for a predetermined time period. The second electrical signal is divided into a plurality of second segments each of which includes a part of the second electrical signal for the predetermined time period. It is calculated a gradient of a regression line between every one of the first segments and an associated one of the second segments, thereby obtaining a plurality of gradients.

A supporting shaft stands on an external auditory canal arm holding an LED. An attaching portion holding a PD is rotatably connected to one end of a holding arm. A column having a through hole 11b into which the supporting shaft is slidably inserted is fixed to the other end of the holding arm. The external auditory canal arm and the holding arm are connected to each other by a coil spring.

Using the principle of pulse oximetry, the relationship between the logarithm of dye density and the passage of time is obtained to determine a regression line for the linear portion of the relationship; an intial dye density in the blood is determined for the point of time that defines the mean transit time for the initial circulation of the injected dye on the regression line; and the circulating blood volume is calculated from the thus determined initial dye density.

An apparatus for measuring the change in the concentration of a pigment in blood is disclosed which comprises: light quantity detecting units for continuously detecting the quantities of radiations of light having different wavelengths that have been transmitted or reflected by living tissue containing pulsating blood; first computing unit which, when the concentration or absorptivity coefficient of a light-absorbing component in the blood changes with respect to light having either one of said wavelengths, computes the quantities of radiations of transmitted or reflected light having the wavelengths when the living tissue is in a state of ischemia on the basis of the constant and pulsating components of the quantity of each radiation of light that has been detected by the light quantity detectors both before and after the change occurred; and second computing unit which continuously determines the concentration of a pigment of interest in the blood by performing calculations based on the results of computation by the first computing means and on the quantities of radiations of light detected by the light quantity detecting units.
摘要:
An apparatus for determining the concentration of a light-absorbing material contained in blood flowing through a tissue which minimizes the amount of error caused by noise and which ensures highly precise results at all times. The apparatus operates according the principle that light beams of different wavelengths are absorbed by different amounts when passing through the tissue at different portions of the blood pulsation cycle. A plurality of points are detected that fall in the vicinity of the peak and trough of a cycle of a light detection signal. For each wavelength of light, the values of the detection signals produced at each of these points in time is stored. The concentration of the light-absorbing material is computed in response to the stored detection signals.

摘要:
Intensities of light of two different wavelengths transmitted through a tissue of a living body are measured during a first time period. A data processor determines a first regression line using logarithmically processed data corresponding to the light intensities measured during the first time period. An operator injects a dye into the living body and measurements of intensities of light at the two different wavelengths are made during a later time period. The data processor determines a second regression line using logarithmically processed data corresponding to the light intensities measured during the later time period. The data processor finds an intersection of the two regression lines and uses the intersection to determine a bloodless level point. The processor then forms a dye dilution curve incorporating the bloodless level point data.

Disclosed is an apparatus for measuring a predetermined data of a living tissue, such as an oxygen saturation, a dye dilution curve and level of hemoglobin. The apparatus has an illumination intensity computing and storing circuit that stores the intensities of light components emitted from a three-wavelength light source assembly, and a computing circuit that calculates the intensity ratios of illuminating light from the intensity data stored in the circuit. The circuit determines the predetermined data of blood on the basis of the calculated intensity ratios and the intensities of light transmitted through a living tissue under assay, and it displays the predetermined data on display unit. The apparatus is capable of measuring the predetermined data without relying upon pulsations that occur in the subject.
