Description

Einrichtung zur Vermeidung von Störungen bei der Messung von Körperströmen. Um bei der Aufnahme von Körperströmen durch empfindliche Meß- und Registrierinstrumente, z. B. von Herzmuskelströmen durch den Elektrokardiographen, die Störungen zu beseitigen, welche die wechselnden elektrischen Zustände der Umgebung hervorrufen,. ist bereits eine leitende Umhüllung des zu untersuchenden Körpers vorgeschlagen worden, nachdem schon vorher eine entsprechende Umhüllung der Teile des Instrumentariums in Gebrauch war. Diese Umhüllung soll den Körper gegen elektrostatische Einwirkungen von außen schützen, da es sich herausgestellt hat, daß der größere Teil der von der Umgebung ausgehenden Störungen nicht auf induktiver Wirkung, sondern auf Bildung von Kapazitätsströmen infolge wechselnder Ladung der Umgebung beruht. Die Störungen treten naturgemäß am leichtesten in der Nachbarschaft elektrischer Leitungen auf. Die Umhüllung des Körpers mit einer leitenden geerdeten Schicht erweist sich aber als unzureichend, wenn der Körper, dessen Ströme zu untersuchen sind, gleichzeitig anderen Messungen oder Untersuchungen, z. B. des Pulses oder der Atmung, zugänglich bleiben soll. Die Berührung durch die Hand des Arztes oder durch Instrumente, welche ihrer= seits nicht in gleicher Weise geschützt sind, wie das elektrische Instrumentarium, bedeuten eine Erdung des Körpers, der infolgedessen bei jeder Ladungsveränderung der Umgebung von Kapazitätsströmen durchflossen wird, so daß die Wirkung der Umhüllung ganz oder teilweise hinfällig wird. Um die Schutzwir-. kung vollständig zu erhalten, müßte die Umhüllung auf sämtliche Instrumentarien und die behandelnden Personen ausgedehnt werden, was bezüglich der tätigen Personen praktisch kaum ausführbar ist, da eine derartige Umhüllung diese Personen in .ihrer Bewegung in unzulässiger Weise hindern würde.Device to avoid interference when measuring body currents. In order to record body currents through sensitive measuring and recording instruments, z. B. of cardiac muscle currents through the electrocardiograph to eliminate the disturbances, which cause the changing electrical conditions of the environment. is already a conductive covering of the body to be examined has been proposed after a corresponding covering of the parts of the instrumentation in use beforehand was. This covering is intended to protect the body against electrostatic effects from the outside protect as it has been found that the greater part of the area outgoing disturbances are not due to inductive effects, but to the formation of capacitance currents due to changing charges in the environment. The disturbances occur naturally most easily in the vicinity of electrical lines. The wrapping of the Body with a conductive, earthed layer proves to be inadequate, when the body whose currents are to be examined simultaneously other measurements or examinations, e.g. B. the pulse or breathing should remain accessible. The touch by the doctor's hand or by instruments, which on their part are not protected in the same way as the electrical instruments an earthing of the body, which consequently occurs with every change in the charge in the environment is traversed by capacitance currents, so that the effect of the envelope completely or becomes partially obsolete. To the protective effect. kung completely, would have to the covering extended to all instruments and the treating persons become, which is practically hardly feasible with regard to the people involved, since a such wrapping prevent these people from moving in an inadmissible manner would.

Weiter ist es unzweckmäßig, daß während der ganzen Untersuchung der Apparat von der behandelnden Person nicht beobachtet werden kann und daher auftretende Störungen, z. B. Lockerung einer Anschlußschraube oder gar ein Kurzschluß der Zuleitungen, nicht sofort bemerkt werden können.Furthermore, it is inexpedient that during the whole investigation the Apparatus cannot be observed by the treating person and is therefore occurring Disturbances, e.g. B. Loosening of a connection screw or even a short circuit of the supply lines, cannot be noticed immediately.

Diese Schwierigkeiten werden gemäß der Erfindung dadurch behoben, daß alle Wandungen des Untersuchungsraumes mit einem die Elektrizität leitenden Material, das geerdet ist, derart versehen. sind, daß der Untersuchungsraum nach Art eines Faraday'schen Käfigs wirkt, wobei die Umhüllung für den zu untersuchenden Körper überflüssig wird.According to the invention, these difficulties are eliminated by that all walls of the examination room are connected to one that conducts electricity Material that is earthed is provided in this way. are that the examination room after Kind of a Faraday cage acts, with the covering for the to be examined Body becomes redundant.

Die Ausführung des Erfindungsgedankens kann in verschiedener Weise geschehen. Es können die Wände, Decke und der Boden innen oder außen mit einer leitenden Schicht, die beliebig dünn sein mag, bekleidet werden, oder es kann der ganze Raum, mit einer gitterförmigen Anordnung von Metalldrähten oder Bändern umgeben werden. Es können die den Käfig bildenden Teile auch innerhalb der Wandungen, Decken und Böden liegen. Ferner ist man auf die Verwendung von Metall nicht beschränkt, sondern man kann sich auch anderer leitender Stoffe als Bestandteile der Umwandung oder Anstrich darauf bedienen.The concept of the invention can be carried out in various ways happen. It can be the walls, ceiling and floor inside or outside with a conductive Layer, which may be as thin as you want, or the whole room, surrounded by a grid-like arrangement of metal wires or ribbons. The parts forming the cage can also be inside the walls, ceilings and Floors lie. Furthermore, one is on the use of Metal not limited, but one can also consider other conductive substances as constituents the conversion or painting on it.

Eine solche Einrichtung läßt sich verhältnismäßig leicht und billig herstellen, da der Untersuchungsraum in der Praxis meist aus einer Zelle besteht, die auch sonst für die Konzentrati-)n und Beruhigung des Patienten von Vorteil ist.Such a device can be relatively easy and cheap as the examination room usually consists of one cell in practice, which is also otherwise advantageous for concentrating) and calming the patient.
