    摘要: An automated sphygmomanometer which automatically determines when a blood pressure determination needs to be made. During a "guard mode" determination, a cuff on an appendage of the patient is frequently inflated to a check pressure, which is preferably below the patient's mean arterial pressure ("MAP"), and the signature (shape, amplitude, pulse period, etc.) of the measured oscillometric signal is compared to a stored signature of a portion of an oscillometric signal at a corresponding portion of the oscillometric envelope determined during a previous blood pressure determination. If these signals differ by some predetermined amount, it is determined that the patient's blood pressure has changed significantly and that a new blood pressure determination needs to be conducted immediately. These guard mode determinations are made in addition to the normal blood pressure determinations made at predetermined intervals typically selected by the user. In addition, the shape of the oscillometric signal is quantified during guard mode so that it is possible to discriminate oscillations on the diastolic side of a patient's oscillometric envelope from oscillations on the systolic side of the patient's oscillometric envelope, thereby preventing a large shift in the oscillometric envelope from going undetected.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are described for determining characteristics of peripheral arterial volume and compliance. A blood pressure cuff is inflated and deflated around a limb of the body and pressure measurements are taken. The volume of air removed from the cuff is determined in a quantifiable manner, such as by expelling air through an orifice of known characteristics or by means of a volume of know characteristics. The detected pressures and volume of air removed are used to compute oscillation volume, which in turn is used to display arterial capacity and compliance as a function of transmural pressure and time. Arterial capacity may be displayed in terms of arterial radius, arterial cross-sectional area, or arterial volume. A display of these characteristics as a function of pre and post anesthetic administration is particularly useful to the anesthesiologist and surgeon.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for non-invasively measuring blood constituent concentration and particularly the oxygen saturation of arterial blood. The apparatus includes at least one light source directed to a tissue area of a patient, such as a finger or earlobe. A photodetector receives emitted light passing through the sample, and a receiver circuit analyzes the data and produces an output which is proportional to the oxygen content of blood. The light source is modulated onto a preselected carrier frequency and the receiver circuit is tuned to the carrier frequency so that undesired signals such as ambient light can be filtered out leaving only the signals created by the emitted light passing through the tissue at the light source frequency. The oxygen content is then calculated using the patient's known red cell count, thereby correcting the final saturation value for patient anemia. Moreover, the calculation for oxygen saturation incorporates red cell scattering parameters for increased accuracy in clinical environments.

    摘要: A disposable endotracheal airway adapter for use in proximity of a patient's mouth in the measurement of the concentraton of respiratory gases. The disposable airway adapter of the invention provides a conduit for patient respiratory gases and allows the passage of infrared radiation through the gases for measuring the constituent concentration of the respiratory gases while keeping the patient gases from coming in contact with the analyzer mechanism. The body of the airway adapter is designed to connect in series with the airway tubing which connects a patient to a mechanical respirator or anesthesia breathing circuit. The body of the airway adapter is very light in weight and is formed of inexpensive material such as polyethylene or polypropylene so that it may be manufactured inexpensively and discarded after each use. An inexpensive optical window in the adapter is also formed of material such as polyethylene or polypropylene so that the gas analyzer can pass light into the sample for analysis. Preferably, the optical windows of the invention are made of the same material as the adapter body. Since the adapter of the invention may be disposed of after use on a single patient, sterilization expenses and cross-contamination may be minimized. Also, calibrating integrity is maintained through a calibration process which accounts for the non-linearity of the absorption spectra of the window material in the region of interest.

    摘要: An I.V. catheter is described, including a catheter and hub assembly and a needle and hub assembly. A needle guard, including a tubular distal portion and a split proximal flange, is located about the needle at the distal end of the needle hub. The needle includes a slot near the needle tip. As the needle assembly is withdrawn from the catheter, the needle guard slides along the needle until the split flange engages the needle slot, which locks the tubular distal portion of the guard over the needle tip.

    摘要: A pump control system is described in which the pumping mechanism causes corresponding movement of a pair of capacitor plates. The plates are energized by an a.c. signal, and the signal produced by the plates is amplitude detected, with the amplitude modulation representing pumping force. The pumping force is converted to pumping pressure. The pumping pressure peak during pumping and the pressure minimum during filling are detected to determine the portion of a pumping cycle required to make the transition between these two pressure levels. The difference between the two pressure levels divided by the transition portion of the pumping cycle gives a measure of the compliance of the pump chamber. The ratio of the compliance measure to the total cycle, when multiplied by the nominal chamber volume, gives a measure of unpumped volume, which is subtracted from the nominal volume to give the volume actually pumped during a pump cycle. The volume pumped is compared with a desired flow rate to determine a speed control value for the motor of the pumping mechanism. A motor control signal is developed by subtracting from a constant number a value which is a factor of the spaced control value and the position of the motor.

    摘要: A back pressure sensor comprising a flexible beam having a pivot end with a pivot pin and a drive connector end with a means for engaging a pump drive. A pump actuator is connected to the flexible beam at a position intermediate the ends and connects with a positive displacement pumping member. A sensor beam is attached to the flexible beam at a connecting point spaced from said pivot end. A first capacitor plate is mounted on the flexible beam at a point which is spaced from the connecting point. A second capacitor plate is mounted on the sensor beam in a position facing and spaced apart from the first capacitor plate at a distance therefrom which permits formation of a capacitance coupling therebetween. The back pressure sensor is particularly advantageous for use with positive displacement pumps such as diaphragm pumps, peristaltic pumps and piston pumps used in parenteral solution delivery systems where substantially increases in back pressure present a hazard to the patient to which liquid is being infused.
