Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for controlling a therapy based on a transcutaneous real-time detection of bilirubin within a vital tissue region, in which light is irradiated in that tissue region and light emerging from this tissue region is analyzed.
- Bilirubin is a breakdown product of the blood, which is normally broken down by the body and excreted. If the liver does not work properly or if more hemoglobin is broken down, it causes jaundice. Since bilirubin is initially lipophilic (fat-soluble), part of the bilirubin deposits in the fatty layer of the skin. The skin therefore turns yellow. An elevated bilirubin concentration (hyperbilirubinemia) can be detrimental to the body. Thus, the hyperbilirubinemia must be treated beyond certain limits.
- the bilirubin concentration is usually determined by a blood sample. This has the disadvantage of blood loss, risk of infection and pain, as well as the z.T. very long wait (24 hours and more) on the result. In order to be able to make a fast therapy decision, a real-time measurement is necessary. In addition, a non-invasive measurement is needed to avoid the risk of infection and blood loss.
- Devices are known which measure the bilirubin content of the skin transcutaneously, by reflection spectroscopy or in transmission. The bilirubin content in the blood may differ significantly.
- the invention has for its object to provide solutions by which it is possible to control a therapy based on increased meaningful measurements of the content of bilirubin in the blood.
- the determination of the concentration of bilirubin is carried out by a system of equations determined with concentrations of Hb and skin tissue,
- concentrations of Hb and skin tissue are determined from absorbance values at the wavelengths of isosbestic points of hemoglobin, and
- the inventive concept makes it possible to determine the bilirubin concentration transcutaneously and non-invasively in the blood. This makes it possible to measure very high concentrations, regardless of skin thickness and during bilirubin therapy.
- the method of reflection spectroscopy is preferably used.
- the new measuring concept makes it possible to measure during and after phototherapy. This allows real-time therapy control as well as therapy control.
- the equation system is preferably determined at the absorption values at wavelengths of 452 nm and 500 nm or at least in the narrow surrounding region of these wavelengths.
- the system of equations is set using measurements of the wavelengths 529, 545, 570 and / or 584 nm. At these wavelengths, there is a particularly low influence of the Hb oxygenation level on the evaluation result.
- light having defined wavelengths can be successively irradiated into the tissue region.
- This light can be generated here with light sources that are designed specifically for the delivery of light of this wavelength.
- the detection of the turbidity influence of the ambient system of bilirubin is preferably carried out using light having the wavelengths 452, 500, 529, 545, 570, 584 nm which is irradiated into the tissue region.
- the optical density for this particular wavelength can then be determined in a simple manner by means of an intensity measurement.
- the light is irradiated into the tissue region at a plurality of spaced-apart irradiation sites. This makes it possible to draw conclusions about the presence of bilirubin in different tissue depths. Alternatively, or in combination with the aforementioned approach, it is also possible to tap the light at a plurality of spaced-apart detection points from the tissue area.
- Figure 1 is a graph for explaining the meaning of the selected wavelengths
- FIG. 2 is a graph illustrating the light path in the tissue. Detailed description of the figures
- Figure 1 shows the course of the extinction coefficient of the skin, bilirubin, and hemoglobin in different Oxigen michszupartyn.
- the evaluation algorithm according to the invention is derived from the method described by Delpy et al. developed modified Lambert-Beer law developed.
- a ( ⁇ ) e ⁇ d c ⁇ ⁇ DPF + G
- A absorbance
- ⁇ extinction coefficient
- c concentration
- d source-detector distance
- DPF Differential Pathlength Factor
- G photon loss due to scattering
- the spectrum measured on the individual includes i.a. Information about tissues, hemoglobin and bilirubin.
- the present invention involves the separate calculation of blood, skin and bilirubin for the determination of bilirubin in the blood. For this purpose, the concentrations of the individual components are calculated.
- a combination of skin, bilirubin, deoxygenated and oxygenated hemoglobin is measured. If all 4 concentrations are to be determined, this is possible via a system of equations with at least four equations. This has an increased potential for error in physiological data.
- the invention is based on the fact that with the selected wavelengths, the absorption values at the so-called isosbestic points of the deoxygenated and oxygenated hemoglobin are detected, i. the absorbance values at those wavelengths at which hemoglobin has identical values in each oxygenation state. When the concentrations at these points are determined, deoxygenated and oxygenated hemoglobin can be considered as a value, reducing the GLS to 3 equations, significantly reducing the error potential.
- bilirubin no longer has any influence at 584 nm. At 529nm only 0.3% of the maximum value at 452nm. If the concentration is initially limited to hemoglobin and skin, they can be determined by the isosbestic points at 529nm, 545nm, 570nm and 584nm with 2 equations.
- the difference path factor DPF known from the literature amounts to 3 in the case of a measuring arrangement used in the present case. Depending on the measuring arrangement, this lies in the range from 2 to 8.
- G of the photon loss by scattering is to be determined. Since the photon loss due to scattering, depending on the irradiated tissue, thus varies between the measurements and can not be determined, the concentrations for skin and hemoglobin are determined from the difference between two absorption values at two wavelengths, thus G.
- the equation system can be solved with two unknowns. This results in the concentration cHb for hemoglobin and chaut for the skin content.
- cHb and chaut are substituted into the following equation for the wavelengths 452 and 500nm.
- FIG. 2 shows a preferred measuring arrangement for determining the bilirubin concentration in the blood.
- a measuring head 3 is attached at a vital tissue area 1 of a patient 2.
- This measuring head comprises a first Lichteinkopplungsleiter 4, a second Lichteinkopplungsleiter 5 and a sensor conductor 6.
- the two Lichteinkoppelungsleiter 4, 5 are arranged such that their exit points near the patient different distances from Tapping point of the sensor conductor 6 have on the patient, so that for the light emerging from the respective light guide 4, 5 and passing through the tissue light of different lengths, as well as different tissue depths passing light paths a, b result.
- the longer light path a traverses a region with pronounced blood vessels 2a, the shorter light path traverses primarily the epidermis and the fatty tissue 2b.
- the coupling of the light into the user takes place here by way of example by connecting a splitter 6, with a semitransparent mirror 6a and also selectively switchable diaphragms 6b, 6c.
- the provision of the light via a light source 7 which is designed here so that it emits light in required wavelengths.
- the control of the light source 7 takes place in accordance with a control device LC.
- the light tapped from the tissue region 1 via the sensor light guide 6 is subjected to an intensity measurement.
- a bolometer 8 is provided.
- the measured values of the bolometer 8 are made available to a computer system C.
- the computer system C is configured with a program provided for processing the inventive concept, and in this case it stores the intensity values measured at the respective wavelengths in a table, so that pairs of values are internally present in this regard.
- the first equation system GL1 is evaluated by means of which the concentrations for skin and hemoglobin are determined. With these results, the second equation system GL2 is completed and then evaluated with the further value pairs to the other wavelengths. This approach results in the concentration of bilirubin.
- the evaluation of the intensity values may comprise comprehensive further evaluation procedures in which e.g. Based on the differences in the absorptions in the light paths a, b certain other parameters are determined. Furthermore, the measurement values of the absorptions can be calculated with different intensities. The intensities of the light provided for the light paths a, b, light can also be varied, so that there are numerous other optical phenomena that can be considered in models and the evaluation algorithm and increase the validity of the overall measurement.
- the control device LC provided for controlling the light source 7 is implemented in the electronic control device C.
- the light source 7 and the bolometer 8 or just another device for detecting the intensity of the recirculated light from the sensor head 6 are preferably external hardware components via the standardized interfaces the electronic control device C can be coupled.
- the splinter S, the measuring head 3 and possibly also the light source 7 and the bolometer 8 can be integrated in the measuring head as a whole.
- the splitter S and the light source 7, and the bolometer 8 are combined to form a unit and are connected to the measuring head 6 in a potential-free manner via a multicore light guide 9.
- the concentration value of the bilirubin determined via the electronic control device C can be based on a medical evaluation. The temporal development of this value can be recorded and documented in the context of a therapy. Furthermore, the concentration value determined as a real-time value can be used as a control variable for therapeutic or medical systems S. Thus, in particular based on the determined in real time Bilirubinhongs a therapy time and, if necessary.
- the exposure intensity can be tuned, the exposure zones can be selected and operated in a coordinated manner, the intensity distribution can be selected according to wavelength, the distance between the patient and the illumination can be tuned, a medication or filtering can be tuned, a different peripheral system can be tuned ( eg humidity, temperature). Furthermore, drug correlations can be recorded and documented and current values and course can be displayed.
- the inventive method is based on a spatially resolved spectroscopy and in this case includes the sequential use of multiple excitation light sources or excitation light wavelengths.
- excitation light sources or excitation light wavelengths By different distances of the excitation from the exit of the light from the skin each result in different lengths of light paths a, b.
- By modeling it is possible to distinguish information from different depths of the fabric 2a, 2b from each other. This information makes it possible to distinguish between lipid-bound bilirubin and bilirubin present in the blood during skin measurement. This distinction is of particular advantage in order to measure during a therapy aimed at reducing bilirubin content in the blood.
- the bilirubin dissolved in the skin 2b changes only slowly during a therapy, but the bilirubin in the blood 2a changes very rapidly.
- portions of the adipose tissue 2b and the blood vessels 2a can be distinguished from one another.
