Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrocardiographic electrode spray unnecessary to wipe off from animal hair after an examination while allowing electrocardiographic electrodes to be attached directly onto the animal hair. SOLUTION: A medicinal solution with ethanol, benzalkonium chloride and sodium chloride added to purified water is used being sprayed to the limbs of an animal to which the electrocardiographic electrodes 1 are attached. When the medicinal solution is sprayed to the limbs in performing the electrocardiography of the animal, the medicinal solution spreads to the skin in the inner part of animal hair, and energization with current is accelerated by sodium chloride in the medicinal solution. The electrocadiographic electrodes 1 can thereby be attached directly onto the animal hair, and since the medicinal solution stuck to the animal hair evaporates in a short time, the troublesome work of wiping off the medicinal solution after the examination is dispensed with, and the electrocardiography of the animal can be efficiently performed in a short time.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electrocardiogram electrode spray mainly used for measuring an electrocardiographic waveform of an animal or the like using an electrocardiograph.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when examining the health condition of animals such as livestock and pets, an electrocardiogram is often performed using an electrocardiograph. Also, when measuring with an electrocardiograph,
Electrodes are measured by attaching electrodes to the limbs of the animal, and the obtained ECG waveform is displayed on a monitor as an ECG, and the ECG is output on a recording paper, etc. When attaching ECG electrodes to the limbs of animals, shaving the animal hairs of the limbs in advance to expose the skin, or scraping the animal hair to expose the skin, then applying ECG electrode cream or ECG electrode jelly to the skin Electrocardiogram electrodes are attached.

[0003]

However, the work of shaving the extremities of the extremities to expose the skin, or the process of exfoliating the exfoliated hairs to expose the skin and attaching the ECG electrodes to the extremities is complicated and time-consuming. In addition to lowering the efficiency of the electrocardiographic examination, shaving the animal hair causes a problem that the skin after the shaving becomes bald.

[0004] In addition, since the ECG electrode cream or jelly applied to the skin adheres to the ECG electrode or animal hair, the following problems have been encountered. That is, if the ECG electrode cream or jelly adheres to the ECG electrode, it is not possible to wash all the cream or jelly by simple washing, and a part of the ECG electrode cream or jelly remains on the ECG electrode. The cream or jelly remaining on the electrocardiogram electrode is very unsanitary because it solidifies on the electrocardiogram electrode after drying and solidifying. In addition, there is a problem that the electrocardiogram electrode is corroded and the life of the electrocardiogram electrode is shortened. The ECG electrode cream and jelly adhered to the animal hair are wiped off after the examination, but this wiping operation takes a long time, and there is a problem that the efficiency of the ECG examination is reduced.

The present invention has been made to solve such a conventional problem, and provides an electrocardiogram electrode spray in which an electrocardiogram electrode can be mounted on animal hair and need not be wiped off from the animal hair after the test. The purpose is to do so.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, an electrocardiogram electrode spray of the present invention uses an electrocardiogram electrode sprayed with purified water, ethanol and sodium chloride, or a chemical solution obtained by adding benzylkonium chloride to these. It is intended to be sprayed on the body of the animal to be used.

When the electrocardiogram electrode is attached to an animal body, for example, a limb, by spraying a drug solution on the limb, the drug solution spreads to the skin behind animal hair.
Electricity is promoted by sodium chloride in the chemical,
The ECG electrode can be mounted on the animal's hair, which eliminates the need to shave the animal's hair or squeeze the skin to expose the skin. Since the drug solution attached to the electrodes can be washed off, the solution attached to the ECG electrodes can be solidified and the ECG electrodes become unsanitary, and the ECG electrodes can be corroded and their life shortened, thereby eliminating the problem. . In addition, since the drug solution attached to the animal hair evaporates at an early stage by the ethanol, troublesome work such as wiping the drug solution after the test is not required, so that the electrocardiogram can be efficiently performed in a short time. Furthermore, the action of benzylkonium chloride realizes prevention of propagation of various bacteria.

Further, in order to achieve the above object, the electrocardiogram electrode spray of the present invention comprises a chemical solution containing propylene glycol,
It is one to which either glycerin or triethanolamine is added.

[0009] With the above structure, there is little fear that the skin may become rough even if the chemical solution adheres to the skin.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration diagram of an electrocardiograph, in which a plurality of electrocardiogram electrodes 1 attached to the body of an animal as a subject, for example, limbs, and an electrocardiogram waveform of the animal detected by these electrocardiogram electrodes 1 are processed. And an electrocardiograph main body 3 for displaying an electrocardiogram on the monitor 2 or outputting the electrocardiogram on a recording paper (not shown).

FIG. 2 shows a spray used immediately before the ECG electrode 1 is attached to the limb of an animal. The electrocardiogram electrode spray sprayed on the limbs is a liquid contained in a container 5 having a spray nozzle 4 on its head as shown in FIG. 2, and is composed of, for example, the following components. Ethanol 500ml Benzylkonium chloride 0.1g Propylene glycol 15ml Glycerin 5ml Triethanolamine 1.8ml Sodium chloride 4g

The above components and amounts were made up to 1000 ml of purified water. Ethanol in the above components is added as a desiccant for improving the quick drying property of the chemical solution, and benzylkonium chloride is added for the purpose of preventing various bacteria from growing. Propylene glycol, glycerin,
Triethanolamine is a component that prevents the skin from becoming rough, and is added as necessary, and sodium chloride is added for the purpose of promoting the electrical conductivity of the drug solution.
By adding this sodium chloride, the electrocardiogram electrode 1 can detect the electrocardiographic waveform of the animal from the animal hair without shaving or scraping the animal hair of the limb.

Next, a method of performing an electrocardiogram test on an animal using the electrocardiogram electrode spray will be described. In conducting an electrocardiogram test, a drug solution is sprayed on the extremities of the animal on which the electrocardiogram electrode 1 is to be mounted, using an electrocardiogram electrode spray. The spray nozzle 4 provided at the head of the container 5 has a pump function. By pressing the push button 4a with a finger or the like, the chemical solution in the container 5 can be easily atomized and sprayed on the limbs. it can. When the spraying of the drug solution is completed, the electrocardiogram electrode 1 is attached to the limb. The ECG electrode 1 is mounted on the animal hair without being exposed.

When the mounting of the electrocardiogram electrode 1 is completed as described above, an electrocardiogram test is started. An electric signal generated by the beating of the heart of the animal is detected as an electrocardiogram waveform by the electrocardiogram electrode 1, and the electrocardiograph is used. It is sent to the main body 3. The electrocardiograph main body 3 processes the electrocardiogram waveform sent from the electrocardiogram electrode 1, displays it on the monitor 2 as an electrocardiogram, and outputs the electrocardiogram on recording paper as needed.

On the other hand, when the electrocardiogram test is completed, the electrocardiogram electrode 1 is removed from the limb of the animal. Even if the drug solution adheres to the electrocardiogram electrode 1, the drug solution evaporates in a short time due to the ethanol added to the drug solution. Furthermore, even if there is any remaining component, the drug solution attached to the ECG electrode 1 can be washed away by simple washing, and the drug solution does not remain on the ECG electrode 1. In addition, since the chemical solution attached to the animal hair evaporates in a short time and becomes a dry state, a complicated operation such as wiping is not required.

The components and the amount of the chemical solution described in the embodiment are not limited to the above-mentioned components and the amount of the chemical. For example, in the above-mentioned components, there may be an example in which benzylconium chloride is not added, or one or two examples of use in place of the three kinds of skin roughness inhibitors. In addition, materials other than ethanol may be used as desiccants. There is also an example in which a roughening inhibitor is not mixed.

Although the electrocardiogram electrode spray of the above embodiment is effective in performing an electrocardiogram test on an animal, it can also be used in performing an electrocardiogram test on a human body as a subject.
In this case, the electrocardiogram electrode 1 is put on the stockings or clothes by spraying a chemical solution on the stockings or clothes.
Can be attached, so that an ECG test can be performed without taking off stockings or clothes. Particularly preferred by women and people with physical disabilities.

[0018]

As described in detail above, the present invention uses ethanol and sodium chloride, or a drug solution obtained by adding benzylkonium chloride to them, to purified water by spraying the extremity of an animal to which an ECG electrode is to be attached. Therefore, when performing an ECG test on an animal, spraying the drug solution on the extremities spreads the drug solution to the skin behind the animal hair, and energization is promoted by sodium chloride in the drug solution. An electrocardiogram electrode can be attached from above, which eliminates the need to shave animal hair or squeeze the skin to expose the skin.

[0019] In addition, since the drug solution attached to the ECG electrode can be washed away by simple washing after the examination, the drug solution attached to the ECG electrode solidifies and the ECG electrode becomes unsanitary, or the ECG electrode is corroded and its life is shortened. In addition to eliminating problems such as dropping, the drug solution attached to the animal hair evaporates in a short time, eliminating the need for troublesome work such as wiping the drug solution after the test. Be able to perform efficiently. In addition,
If propylene glycol, glycerin or triethanolamine is added, there is little concern that the chemical solution adheres to the skin and causes rough skin.
