DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electrocardiogram recording electrode holder to be mounted on a human body, which is capable of contacting a body surface and to which an electrocardiogram recording electrode is attached. , The patient's electrocardiogram can be recorded.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A known electrocardiogram recording electrode holder is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-21213. This holder is a vest-shaped waistcoat with a front opening, and the front-looking portion is made of a stretchable mesh fabric, and at a predetermined position of the stretchable mesh fabric when worn, that is, at a position corresponding to a standard electrocardiogram measurement unit. A configuration in which a plurality of electrodes are attached is adopted.

[0003] However, with this holder, if an attempt is made to record an electrocardiogram in an emergency, the patient cannot be mounted without first raising the patient or changing his or her body position. For patients who do not want to change their body position due to internal bleeding or the like, there is an inconvenience that the cardiac potential cannot be recorded. In addition, although this holder is formed of mesh ground, the position of the electrode is shifted from the electrocardiogram measuring part depending on the size of the body and the respiratory condition, so that there is a disadvantage that accurate electrocardiogram recording cannot be obtained.

[0004]

The present invention relates to an electrocardiographic recording electrode holder for human body mounting an electrocardiographic recording electrode which is capable of contacting with the body surface and allows the electrode to be positioned at a predetermined measuring portion without changing the body position. The task was to be adapted.

[0005]

[Technical Means] Technical means for solving this technical problem include (a) a holder formed of a flexible sheet attached to the upper body of the front of a human body, and (b) right and left shoulders of the holder and That is, a telescopic belt provided with an insertion piece at the distal end is attached to the body.

[0006] Since the holder is made of a flexible sheet, it can be mounted along the body surface by placing it on the front of the human body. Since the electrode for recording an electrocardiogram is attached to the holder in advance so as to make contact with the body surface, the position of the electrocardiogram measuring unit and the position of the electrode can be substantially matched when the holder is attached to the human body. Since the holder has telescopic belts with insertion pieces at the left and right shoulders and torso, a flexible sheet is attached to the front of the human body. When inserted between the body and the bed, the insertion piece will be held with the belt extended. In this state, the left and right shoulders and the torso of the holder are pulled toward the lower side of the body, and the holder is attached in a state in which the holder is in close contact with the patient. Even if the abdomen and chest move violently due to the breathing state, the movement can be absorbed by the elastic belt, so that the electrodes can be reliably brought into contact with the body. Therefore, the electrodes can be adapted to the position of the predetermined measuring unit without changing the position of the patient.

It is desirable that the sheet body constituting the holder is one that can be fitted to the body and can be easily cleaned and disinfected when contaminated, and is made of a soft rubber or synthetic resin such as a silicon rubber sheet or a vinyl chloride sheet. A sheet, a cloth made of hydrophobic synthetic fibers, a flexible sheet having a synthetic resin film formed on the surface of a fiber sheet body, or the like can be used. In order to ensure the air permeability of the holder, it is desirable to appropriately form a ventilation hole in a portion that does not hinder the attachment of the electrode. As the elastic belt, a rubber strip or a cloth having elasticity can be suitably used. It is also desirable to use a material that can be easily cleaned and disinfected when it is contaminated, but it may also be disposable using an inexpensive material such as an elastic bandage from the viewpoint of preventing infection. The insert attached to the tip of the belt is made of a hard material that can be forcibly inserted between the body and the bed,
For example, a plate made of hard rubber, synthetic resin, wood, or metal can be suitably used. If the elastic belt is disposable, it may be made of cardboard. In addition, it is necessary to keep the inserted piece sandwiched between the body and the bed, that is, to be able to exert a frictional resistance against the contracting force of the belt.

[0008] The base end of the telescopic belt is attached to the left and right shoulders and the left and right torso of the holder. The attaching method is such that the holder is fixed to the holder so that it cannot be detached, and buttons, magnet hooks, and zippers are provided. , A hook, a hook-and-loop fastener or the like, and can be removably attached using a known connecting tool. Further, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which a guide rail is formed on the holder side and an engaging portion provided at the base end of the telescopic belt is engaged with an arbitrary position on the rail. One or more elastic belts may be attached. It is also desirable to be able to change the mounting position of the belt even when mounting using a connector. In these cases, the degree of closeness of the holder can be adjusted according to the patient's body type.

[0009]

According to the present invention, the electrode can be adjusted to the position of the predetermined measuring section without changing the position of the patient. As a result, even if the patient is unconscious or immovable, the holder can be placed on the front of the patient. There is an advantage that the insertion can be performed simply by inserting the insertion piece between the patient and the bed, and the electrocardiogram can be accurately recorded immediately.

[0010]

FIG. 1 is a plan view of a holder 1 to which electrocardiogram recording electrodes 5, 5 according to the present invention are attached. The holder 1 is formed of a sheet made of silicon rubber, so that even if it is contaminated by body fluid, blood, or the like, it can be washed and disinfected as it is. Holder 1
Electrodes 5 and 5 are attached at positions corresponding to a standard electrocardiogram measurement section when the electrocardiogram recorder is placed on the front upper body of the patient 10, and these electrodes are connected to an electrocardiograph recorder via a connector (not shown). . The surface of each of the electrodes 5 and 5 is swelled by a conductor such as copper or brass into a spherical shape, so that the electrodes 5 and 5 can come into wide contact with the skin surface of the patient 10. Therefore, even if the center positions of the electrodes 5 and 5 are slightly shifted, an accurate cardiac potential can be measured.

Two female members 4 of magnet hooks are fixed to the holder 1 on the left and right shoulders 2 and four female members 4 are fixed to the body 3 at regular intervals. Elastic belt 11 on shoulder 2 and trunk 3
Is arranged. In this belt 11, two male members 14 of magnet hooks are fixed to the base end of an elastic cloth 12 woven using rubber thread, and a plate member as an insertion piece made of hard vinyl chloride resin is fixed to the end. Let me. The magnet hooks 4 and 14 are magnetically actuated at the stage where the male and female are engaged so that the members are securely engaged with each other, and will not come off even if the belt 11 is extended. The elastic belt 11 for the trunk 3
In this configuration, the interval between the male members 14 of the magnet hook is configured to be the same as the interval between the female members 4 of the magnet hook, and the fixing position of the belt 11 can be selected.

FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing a state where the holder 1 is mounted on the patient 10 on the bed 15. The plate 13 of the elastic belt 11 is made of the patient 10 and the mat 16 on the bed.
, The holder 11 is brought into close contact with the patient 10 by extending the belt 11. FIG. 4 shows another example of attachment of the elastic belt 11, in which a lateral U-shaped guide rail 17 is attached to the body of the holder 1, and the other end of the elastic belt 11 is engaged with the rail. The configuration in which the hook 18 is attached is shown. The hook 18 can be engaged with an arbitrary position of the rail 17.
