The neonatal treatment system 1 is a system particularly useful for respiratory management and the like from the birth of a newborn baby.

The monitoring device 10 can be equated with a simple biological information monitor, and can be connected to various vital sign sensors (electrocardiogram electrodes, pediatric cuffs, body temperature probes, etc.) via a connector. The monitoring device 10 acquires biological signals from the vital sign sensor, and acquires measurement information (measured waveforms and measured values of blood pressure, heart rate, electrocardiogram, body temperature, arterial oxygen saturation, etc.) of various vital signs from the biological signals. do. In this example, the monitoring device 10 is connected to the electrocardiogram electrodes 30-1 to 30-N and is also connected to the ventilation bag 20. The electrocardiogram electrodes 30-1 to 30-N are an example of a sensor (first sensor) for acquiring measurement information of a parameter derived from the heartbeat (for example, a pulse rate, which is also referred to as a first parameter). In this example, the monitoring device 10 is wired to the electrocardiogram electrodes 30-1 to 30-3 (referred to simply as 30 when 30-1 to 30-3 are not distinguished in the following description) and the ventilation bag 20. Although it is connected, it may be configured to acquire various information from the electrocardiogram electrode 30 (first sensor) and the ventilation bag 20 by wireless communication connection. Further, the number of electrocardiogram electrodes 30 connected to the monitoring device 10 may be arbitrary.

FIG. 2 shows an image when the monitoring device 10 is viewed from the front. As shown in FIG. 2, the monitoring device 10 has a display 11 on the housing and an indicator 12 (second indicator). Further, the monitoring device 10 has connectors 13-1 and 13-2 connected to the electrocardiogram electrode 30 and the ventilation bag 20.

The display 11 is a so-called liquid crystal display, and may be a touch display that can be operated by a user (medical worker). The display 11 may display measured values, measured waveforms, and the like of various vital signs.

The indicator 12 is, for example, an LED lamp, and blinks or lights up depending on the skill of the bag ventilation by the ventilation bag 20 and whether or not various vital signs are abnormal. Details of blinking and lighting by the indicator 12 will be described later with reference to FIG. 5 and the like.

The monitoring device 10 has connectors 13-1 and 13-2 for connecting to the vital sign sensor (in the following description, when the connector 13-1 and the connector 13-2 are not distinguished, they are simply referred to as the connector 13. do.). In this example, the connector 13-1 is connected to the electrocardiogram electrodes 30-1 to 30-3, and the connector 13-2 is connected to the ventilation bag 20. The number of connectors 13 provided in the monitoring device 10 may be any number.

The electrical configuration of the monitoring device 10 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the monitoring device 10.

The monitoring device 10 includes a display 11, an indicator 12, a connector 13, an operation interface 14, a speaker 15, a memory 16, a hard disk 17, a processor 18, and a timer 19. The monitoring device 10 may include a wireless interface WF for wireless communication. The wireless interface WF is an interface for transmitting / receiving data to / from any other device, and enables data communication in accordance with, for example, a wireless LAN standard.

As described above, the connector 13 is an interface that connects to the electrocardiogram electrode 30 and the ventilation bag 20. The connector 13 supplies the signal received from the electrocardiogram electrode 30 and the ventilation bag 20 to the processor 18.

A user (mainly a medical worker such as a doctor or a nurse) operates the operation interface 14 to perform various inputs. The operation interface 14 is, for example, a button, a knob, a rotary selector, a key, etc. provided on the housing of the monitoring device 10. The operation interface 14 may be integrated with the display 11 as described above (that is, it may be a touch display). An example of the operation interface 14 is a monitoring start button and an alarm release button. The input via the operation interface 14 is input to the processor 18.

The speaker 15 outputs various notification sounds including an alarm. The speaker 15 performs notification according to the control of the processor 18.

The memory 16 is a primary storage means that acts as a working area when the processor 18 executes a program. The hard disk 17 stores various programs (including system software and various application software) and data (pulse rate information, etc.). The hard disk 17 may be built in the monitoring device 10 or may be in an external form.

The processor 18 (control unit) controls the operation of the monitoring device 10. Specifically, the processor 18 performs measurement processing based on signals acquired from the ventilation bag 20 and the electrocardiogram electrode 30, records vital sign measurement information (measured waveforms and measured values) on the hard disk 17, and controls the display of the display 11. , Controls lighting / blinking of the indicator 12, controls sound output by the speaker 15, and the like. Further, the processor 18 controls blinking and lighting of the indicator 25 (first indicator) of the ventilation bag 20, which will be described later, by transmitting an instruction signal to the ventilation bag 20.

The processing of the processor 18 is realized by expanding the program read from the hard disk 17 into the memory 16 and executing the program. Details of specific display control of the display 11 by the processor 18, lighting / blinking control of the indicator 12, and output control from the speaker 15 will be described later with reference to FIG.

Here, the program is stored using various types of non-transitory computer readable medium and can be supplied to the computer. Non-temporary computer-readable media include various types of tangible storage media. Examples of non-temporary computer-readable media include magnetic recording media (eg, flexible disks, magnetic tapes, hard disk drives), magneto-optical recording media (eg, magneto-optical disks), CD-ROMs (Read Only Memory), CD-Rs. Includes CD-R / W, semiconductor memory (eg, mask ROM, PROM (Programmable ROM), EPROM (Erasable PROM), flash ROM, RAM (random access memory)). The program may also be supplied to the computer by various types of transient computer readable medium. Examples of temporary computer readable media include electrical, optical, and electromagnetic waves. The temporary computer-readable medium can supply the program to the computer via a wired communication path such as an electric wire and an optical fiber, or a wireless communication path.

A part of the processing of the processor 18 and peripheral processing may be realized by an electronic circuit (not shown). Processing such as display of vital signs in the processor 18 is the same as that of a general biometric information monitor.

The timer 19 clocks the time according to the control of the processor 18. For example, the timer 19 clocks the time according to the pressing of the start button.

Subsequently, the configuration of the ventilation bag 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 4. In addition, a method for calculating various parameters by the processor 18 will also be described. The ventilation bag 20 has a flexible mask portion 21, a flow path 22, and a bag 23. The ventilation bag 20 is a kind of ventilation medical device that provides positive pressure ventilation to a newborn baby, and examples thereof include an ambu bag and a Jackson wreath bag. The medical device for ventilation is a device that manually or automatically (semi-automatically) ventilates the positive pressure of a patient including a newborn baby. Further, as an example of a medical device for ventilation, the concept includes a T-piece connected to a pressure source and a respirator. In the following description, the ventilation bag 20 will be described as a so-called ambu bag.

The flexible mask portion 21 is a portion that comes into contact with the nasal cavity from the oral cavity of a rescued person including a newborn baby. The bag 23 is an air bag for the user (medical worker) to push. When the user pushes the bag 23, the bag 23 is dented and air is sent to the flexible mask portion 21 via the flow path 22.

The flow path 22 is a flow path for feeding air from the bag 23 to the flexible mask portion 21 when the bag 23 is pushed. The flow path 22 may be provided with an air supply check valve or a bacterial filter.

The flow path 22 is provided with a sensor 24 (second sensor) and an indicator 25 (first indicator). The sensor 24 acquires information on a fluid (gas) flowing through the flow path 22, and corresponds to, for example, a flow sensor or a pressure sensor.

The indicator 25 and the sensor 24 are configured to be able to send and receive data (signals) to and from the monitoring device 10. In this example, the ventilation bag 20 transmits / receives data to / from the monitoring device 10 via the cable 26. The monitoring device 10 and the ventilation bag 20 may be configured so that data can be transmitted and received by wireless communication. In this case, the ventilation bag 20 may have a battery, a control device (processor, memory, storage device), and the like, and also have a wireless transmission function. When the monitoring device 10 and the ventilation bag 20 are connected by wire, power may be supplied from the monitoring device 10 to the ventilation bag 20.

In this example, the sensor 24 is both a flow sensor and a pressure sensor, but may be only one of them, or may be another type of sensor. The flow sensor acquires the amount of air flowing to the subject side and the amount of air flowing out from the subject side. The pressure sensor acquires information on the magnitude of the pressure of inspiration and exhalation. The information is input to the processor 18 of the monitoring device 10 via the cable 26.

The above-mentioned processor 18 uses the information on the amount of air and the information on the magnitude of pressure to measure the measurement information of the parameter related to bag ventilation (also referred to as the second parameter) or the parameter related to the breathing of the newborn (also referred to as the third parameter). ) Calculate the measurement information. The parameters related to bag ventilation are, for example, a leak rate and a ventilation rate. The parameters related to respiration are, for example, PIP (maximum inspiratory pressure, Peak Inspiratory Pressure) and PEEP (positive end-expiratory pressure, Positive End-Expiratory Pressure).

The processor 18 calculates, for example, the difference between the amount of air flowing to the subject side and the amount of air flowing out from the inspected side, and based on the difference, determines the leak rate, which is the ratio of the air leaked from the flexible mask unit 21. calculate. Similarly, the processor 18 calculates the ventilation rate and the ventilation volume from the information of the flow sensor by using the method used in the field of general bag mask ventilation.

Further, the processor 18 calculates PIP and PEEP using the pressure information. The processor 18 may calculate a PIP value or a PEEP value based on whether or not it is exhaled and the magnitude of pressure by using a known method.

Further, the sensor 24 may acquire information for calculating the so-called partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the exhaled breath. The processor 18 uses this information to calculate a so-called capnogram by a known method.

The processor 18 may detect an airway obstruction (a type of neonatal condition) in a newborn by using the information of the air flow acquired by the flow sensor and the information of the pressure of the pressure sensor. For example, the processor 18 may detect airway obstruction from an arbitrary comparison process or the like using both the expiratory volume and the detected pressure.

The sensor 24 does not necessarily have to be provided in the flow path 22, and may be provided in the flexible mask portion 21.

The indicator 25 is, for example, an LED lamp, and is configured to be able to turn on, blink, and turn off according to an instruction signal from the monitoring device 10. The indicator 25 notifies information (second information) regarding the skill of bag ventilation by the ventilation bag 20 by blinking or lighting.

Subsequently, a specific operation example of the neonatal treatment system 1 will be described with reference to FIG. In the description of FIG. 5, the operation control of the monitoring device 10 is mainly executed by the processor 18.

The neonatal treatment system 1 performs an operation to support appropriate respiratory management and the like when a newborn baby is born. It is widely known that when a newborn is born, manual ventilation is desirable if it does not ring or breathe within about 20 seconds of birth.

Therefore, when a newborn baby is born, the user (medical worker) executes a start event (FIG. 5 (A)). In the start event in this example, it is assumed that the user presses the start button, which is a kind of the operation interface 14. The monitoring device 10 measures a certain time (for example, 20 seconds) from the execution of the start event.

It is also possible for the user to manually time a fixed time using a stopwatch or the like. However, since it is preferable to be able to manage the state of the newborn with the elapsed time from the birth of the newborn, the form of executing the above-mentioned start event is preferable.

When the newborn baby cries or begins to breathe, the user presses a stop button (a type of operation interface 14) (FIG. 5 (B)). Pressing the stop button is a type of input that informs that the newborn is normal. If the stop button is pressed before a certain period of time has elapsed, the monitoring device 10 ends the time measurement.

On the other hand, if the stop button is not pressed even after a certain period of time has passed since the newborn was born, the monitoring device 10 gives a notification prompting the measurement of the vital sign parameter (first parameter) derived from the newborn's heartbeat (1st parameter). FIG. 5 (C). In the following example, the vital sign parameter derived from the heart rate is assumed to be the pulse rate.

For example, the processor 18 may display a display prompting the attachment of the electrocardiogram electrode 30 or illuminate the indicator 12 in blue (a color indicating attachment of the electrocardiogram electrode 30) (hatching of diagonal lines in FIG. 5C). .. Further, the processor 18 may transmit an instruction signal instructing the indicator 25 to light in a predetermined color. Further, the processor 18 may output an alarm sound (first alarm sound) prompting the attachment of the electrocardiogram electrode 30 from the speaker 15 (FIG. 5 (C)).

The indicator 12 and the indicator 25 are not necessarily lit but may be blinking, and the lighting / blinking color is also arbitrary.

The user attaches the electrocardiogram electrode 30 to the newborn baby according to the notification prompting the measurement of the pulse rate. The processor 18 measures the pulse rate based on the biological signal acquired from the electrocardiogram electrode 30, and displays the measured pulse rate on the display 11. It is desirable to measure the pulse rate in about 8 to 13 seconds.

The processor 18 compares the measured pulse rate with a predetermined threshold value (60 in the following description), and when the pulse rate is 60 or more (when the pulse rate is normal), the pulse rate is increased. The notification prompting the measurement (for example, lighting of the indicator 12 and the indicator 25) is terminated.

On the other hand, when the pulse rate is less than 60, the monitoring device 10 notifies information (first information) for promoting bag ventilation using the ventilation bag 20 (FIG. 5 (D)). For example, the processor 18 may change the indicator 12 from lighting blue to lighting yellow. Further, the processor 18 may transmit an instruction signal for changing the indicator 25 from the blue lighting to the yellow lighting to the ventilation bag 20 to change the lighting color of the indicator 25. Further, the processor 18 may display a message such as "Please ventilate the bag" on the display 11.

Similarly, the processor 18 may output an alarm sound (second alarm sound) for prompting bag ventilation from the speaker 15 (FIG. 5 (D)). Here, the alarm sound urging the attachment of the electrocardiogram electrode 30 (first alarm sound) and the alarm sound urging bag ventilation (second alarm sound) are made different so that the newborn baby needs treatment. You can clearly tell that you are and that you need to take the next action.

Of course, the processor 18 may notify the information prompting bag ventilation by combining the display on the display 11, the lighting and blinking of the indicator 12/25, and the output from the speaker 15.

The processor 18 acquires the sensing information acquired by the sensor 24 provided in the ventilation bag 20 after the notification prompting the bag ventilation. The sensing information is, for example, information (signal) acquired by the pressure sensor or information (signal) acquired by the flow sensor. The processor 18 calculates measurement information (measured values and measured waveforms) of parameters related to bag ventilation from these information. The parameters related to bag ventilation are, for example, ventilation rhythm (manual ventilation frequency / minute), leak rate (ratio of leak amount to air supply amount), and the like.

Further, the processor 18 calculates measurement information (measured values and measured waveforms) of parameters related to the subject's respiration from the sensing information of the sensor 24. Examples of the parameters related to respiration include the above-mentioned PIP, PEEP, presence / absence of airway obstruction, partial pressure of exhaled carbon dioxide, and the like.

The processor 18 detects information on the skill of bag ventilation (second information) by the ventilation bag 20 based on the measurement information of the parameter (second parameter) related to bag ventilation. For example, the processor 18 calculates information on the skill of bag ventilation from the measured value of the mask leak, the measured value of the ventilation rhythm, and the like. The information indicating the skill of bag ventilation is simply binary: "the bag ventilation procedure is normal" and "the bag ventilation procedure needs improvement". For example, if at least one of the ventilation rhythm and the amount of leakage is abnormal, the processor 18 calculates that "improvement is required in the bag ventilation procedure" as information indicating the skill of bag ventilation. Abnormality detection of ventilation rhythm and leak amount may be performed, for example, by comparing a measured value with a threshold value.

The processor 18 conveys information (second information) indicating the skill of bag ventilation. In detail, the processor 18 notifies the information (second information) by displaying on the display 11, lighting or blinking the indicator 12 or the indicator 25, sound output by the speaker 15, or a combination thereof. For example, the processor 18 may perform notification by lighting the indicator 25 in a color indicating normality (for example, white) or by lighting the indicator 25 in a color indicating abnormality (for example, yellow). Further, as shown in FIG. 5 (E), the character "Leak" is displayed on the display 11. A detailed example of the display of the display 11 will be described with reference to FIG. 7.

Subsequently, the operation of the neonatal treatment system 1 will be described again with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When a newborn baby is born, the monitoring device 10 starts time counting in response to pressing the start button (S1).

When the stop button is pressed before a certain period of time (for example, 20 seconds) has elapsed (S2: No), the monitoring device 10 determines that the newborn is in a normal respiratory state and ends the process (S3).

On the other hand, when the stop button is not pressed even after a certain period of time (S2: Yes), the monitoring device 10 gives a notification (notification for prompting the measurement of the pulse rate) to attach the electrocardiogram electrode 30 and then. The pulse rate is measured (S4). When the pulse rate is not abnormal (S4: No), the monitoring device 10 determines that the newborn is in a normal state and ends the process (S5).

When the pulse rate is abnormal (S4: Yes), the monitoring device 10 notifies the information (first information) for promoting bag ventilation by the ventilation bag 20 (S6). For the notification, for example, a message such as "Please ventilate the bag" may be displayed on the display 11, or the indicator 12 and the indicator 25 may be lit (or blinked) in a predetermined color.

The monitoring device 10 detects an abnormality in the bag ventilation procedure based on the signal acquired by the sensor 24 attached to the ventilation bag 20 (S6). When the abnormality of the bag ventilation procedure is not detected (S6: No), the monitoring device 10 displays the measured value of the pulse rate (an example of the first parameter), the measured value of the PIP (an example of the third parameter), and the ventilation on the display 11. The measured value of the rate (an example of the second parameter), etc. are displayed (S7). The measured value displayed on the display 11 is not limited to the above. Further, the monitoring device 10 may light or blink the indicator 12 in a color indicating that the bag ventilation is normal.

On the other hand, when an abnormality in the bag ventilation procedure is detected (S6: Yes), the monitoring device 10 displays the measured value of the pulse rate / PIP / ventilation rate on the display 11 (S7). In addition to this, the monitoring device 10 notifies information on the skill of bag ventilation (second information, in this case, information notifying that the bag ventilation procedure needs to be improved). Information indicating the skill of bag ventilation may be notified by lighting / blinking / color change of the indicator 12 or the indicator 25, or may be displayed on the display 11.

Subsequently, a display example on the display 11 will be described with reference to FIG. 7. FIG. 7A is a diagram showing a display example of the display 11 20 seconds after the birth of a newborn baby (after a certain period of time has elapsed). As shown in the figure, the elapsed time d1 (00:20) from the start event is displayed, and the display d2 prompting the attachment of the electrocardiogram electrode 30 is displayed.

FIG. 7B is a diagram showing a display example after measuring the pulse rate. As shown in the figure, the elapsed time d1 (00:32) from the start event, d3 (HR = 52 bpm) indicating the pulse rate, and the display d4 (PPV) for encouraging bag ventilation by the ventilation bag 20 are displayed.

FIG. 7C is a diagram showing a first display example during bag ventilation. Elapsed time d1 (00:51) from the start event, d3 (HR = 59bpm) indicating the pulse rate, d5 (Rthythm = 53 / min) indicating the ventilation rhythm, and d6 (PIP = 20cmH2O) indicating the measured value of PIP. It is displayed. In addition to this, d7 indicating that there are many leaks during bag ventilation is displayed.

FIG. 7D is a diagram showing a second display example during bag ventilation. The elapsed time from the start event d1 (01:08), the pulse rate d3 (HR = 58 bpm), the ventilation rhythm d5 (Rhythm = 48 / min), and the PIP measured value d6 (PIP = 22 cmH2O) are It is displayed. In addition to this, d8 indicating airway obstruction is displayed.

Next, the effect of the neonatal treatment system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. When the pulse rate (an example of the first parameter) is abnormal, the monitoring device 10 gives a notification to promote bag ventilation. As a result, bag ventilation can be started at an appropriate timing, and the respiratory condition of the newborn can be improved promptly.

Further, the monitoring device 10 notifies information (second information) regarding the skill of bag ventilation after the start of bag ventilation. This makes it possible to properly ventilate the bag.

The monitoring device 10 notifies information on the skill of bag ventilation by lighting or blinking the indicator 25 (first indicator). By notifying the skill of bag ventilation by the indicator 25 provided on the ventilation bag 20, the skill can be grasped only by looking at the bag ventilation technique.

Further, the monitoring device 10 may notify information regarding the skill of bag ventilation by lighting or blinking the indicator 12. As a result, it is possible to grasp the skill of bag ventilation while referring to the display 11 on which the information of other vital signs is displayed by simply bringing the line of sight to the monitoring device 10.

Further, when there is no input notifying that the newborn is normal even after a certain time has passed from the start event, the monitoring device 10 gives a notification prompting the measurement of the pulse rate (first parameter). As a result, rapid pulse rate measurement can be started, and rapid treatment of the newborn can be performed.

(Modification 1)
Subsequently, a modification relating to lighting and blinking of the indicator 25 will be described. In the above example, after the bag ventilation is performed, only the skill of the bag ventilation (second information) is notified by lighting or blinking the indicator 12 and the indicator 25, but the present invention is not necessarily limited to this. For example, in the processor 18, whether or not the indicator 25 is lit or blinking depending on the combination of whether or not the measurement information of the second parameter is abnormal and whether or not the measurement information of the parameter related to respiration (third parameter) is abnormal. An instruction signal that changes at least one of the lighting color / blinking color / blinking speed may be transmitted to the ventilation bag 20. This example will be described with reference to FIG.

In the example of FIG. 8, when the pulse rate (first parameter) is normal, the processor 18 does not blink or turn on the indicator 25 (case 1).

If the pulse rate (1st parameter) is abnormal and the other parameters (2nd / 3rd parameters) are normal, the processor 18 turns indicator 25 blue (a color indicating that bag ventilation is still needed). Turn on (Case 2).

If the pulse rate (1st parameter) and respiratory parameters (3rd parameter) are abnormal, the processor 18 turns the indicator 25 orange (indicating that bag ventilation is still needed and indicating poor respiratory condition). ) (Case 3).

If the pulse rate (1st parameter) and the bag ventilation parameter (2nd parameter) are abnormal, the processor 18 turns the indicator 25 yellow (indicating that bag ventilation is still needed and needs improvement in the bag ventilation procedure). (Case 4).

If all parameters are abnormal, the processor 18 lights the indicator 25 in red (a color that signals that the newborn is in a serious condition and needs improvement in the bag ventilation procedure) (Case 5).

By changing the lighting pattern of the indicator 25 by combining the measurement information of each parameter in this way, the user can grasp both the physical condition of the newborn baby and the skill of bag ventilation only by looking at the hand where the bag is ventilated. Can be done.

(Modification 2)
Further, the processor 18 may notify the information regarding the skill of bag ventilation from the indicator 25 and the ideal ventilation speed from the indicator 25. For example, the processor specifies information (second information) indicating the skill of bag ventilation by the emission color of the indicator 25, and transmits an instruction signal to specify the ideal bag ventilation timing by the blinking timing to the ventilation bag 20. .. In response to this, the indicator 25 blinks at a designated emission color and emission timing. The ideal bag ventilation timing may be set by default, or may be set via the operation interface 14.

Specifically, when the bag ventilation procedure does not need to be improved, the processor 18 causes the indicator 25 to emit white light (a color indicating that the bag ventilation procedure is normal) and the indicator at an ideal ventilation speed. Make 25 blink. On the other hand, when the bag ventilation procedure needs to be improved, the processor 18 causes the indicator 25 to emit yellow light (a color indicating that the bag ventilation procedure is abnormal) and blinks the indicator 25 at an ideal ventilation speed. Let me.

This allows the user to grasp the ideal ventilation speed as well as the skill of the bag ventilation technique.

(Modification 3)
Further, a modification relating to the lighting / blinking control of the indicator 12 and the indicator 25 will be described. In the modification, the information notified by the indicator 12 and the indicator 25 is different.

In this modification, the indicator 25 is used only for notifying information (second information) indicating the skill of bag ventilation. The processor 18 calculates information indicating the skill of bag ventilation by the above-mentioned method. The processor 18 does not turn on or blink the indicator 25 (or turn it on to white, which is a normal color) when the bag ventilation procedure does not require improvement. On the other hand, the processor 18 lights the indicator 25, for example, in yellow when the bag ventilation procedure needs improvement.

On the other hand, the indicator 12 is used to notify the measurement information (measured value, measured waveform) of vital signs. The vital signs include a pulse rate (measurement information of the first parameter) and a parameter related to respiration such as PIP (third parameter). When the measurement information of the vital signs is abnormal, the processor 18 lights up or blinks in a color that attracts attention such as red.

With the above configuration, it is possible to distinguish and accurately inform the information on the skill of bag ventilation and the condition of the newborn baby. The above notification pattern (lighting color) is just an example, and the processor 18 skillfully ventilates the bag by changing at least one of lighting or blinking of the indicator 25 / lighting color / blinking color / blinking speed. The information and the condition of the newborn may be notified separately.

Although the invention made by the present inventor has been specifically described above based on the embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments already described, and various changes can be made without departing from the gist thereof. It goes without saying that it is possible.

For example, in the above description, the pulse rate is detected based on the biological signal acquired from the electrocardiogram electrode 30, but the pulse rate is not necessarily limited to this, and any sensor (first sensor) and monitoring device for acquiring measurement information of parameters derived from the heartbeat are obtained. 10 may be connected. For example, a SpO2 probe may be connected to the monitoring device 10 and the pulse rate may be calculated based on the pulse wave waveform. Further, the monitoring device 10 is not limited to the pulse rate, and even if the monitoring device 10 notifies to promote ventilation by the ventilation bag 20 based on the measurement information (measured value or measured waveform) of other parameters derived from the heartbeat (for example, heart sound). good.

As described above, the ventilation bag 20 is an example of a ventilation medical device, and may be a T-piece connected to an air supply pressure source. When a T-piece is used instead of the ventilation bag 20, the T-piece has a configuration similar to that of the sensor 24 and the indicator 25, and also has a knob for adjusting the air (gas) sent to the newborn baby. Even in this case, the T-piece and the monitoring device 10 may operate in the same manner as described above.

For example, the monitoring device 10 performs a notification prompting the measurement of the pulse rate when a certain time has elapsed from the start event, and performs a notification prompting ventilation by the T-piece when an abnormality in the pulse rate is detected. Further, the skill of ventilation by the T-piece (for example, the ventilation volume is abnormal because the ventilation volume setting set by the dial is not appropriate) may be notified from the indicator 25 provided on the T-piece. Even in this case (in the case of ventilation by the T-piece instead of the bag ventilation), the user can grasp the appropriateness of the ventilation performed by using the T-piece by performing such a notification.

In the above description, the neonatal treatment system 1 has been described mainly for dealing with newborn babies, but it may be applied to, for example, condition management of infants. That is, the neonatal treatment system 1 is an aspect of the patient treatment system. Even when targeting an infant, the monitoring device 10 and the ventilation bag 20 may perform substantially the same operation as described above.
