Description

  The present invention is an automatic external defibrillator that is used to perform early defibrillation treatment for patients who have developed serious organic heart diseases such as atrial fibrillation and ventricular fibrillation. Versatile and appropriate for all ages from adults to children, especially useful for quickly and appropriately selecting different controls for adults and children The present invention relates to an automatic external defibrillator that can be discriminated and can be easily and easily performed without erroneous operation.

  In general, the heart receives stimulation impulses periodically generated from a special myocardium called a sinus node, and the myocardium regularly contracts and expands to circulate blood throughout the body. However, for example, arrhythmia occurs when excitability other than the sinus node increases due to ventricular fibrillation factors such as myocardial ischemia, cardiac hypertrophy, electrolyte abnormalities, and drug addiction. In this way, the excitement of the myocardium is scattered in various places, and there is a case where the excitement and the expansion are repeated without permission (this state is called fibrillation). When this condition occurs in the atrium, it is called atrial fibrillation, and when it occurs in the ventricle, it is called ventricular fibrillation. Cost.

  Therefore, for a patient whose heart function has stopped due to such ventricular fibrillation or the like, an energized electrode called a paddle is held on the patient's body surface, and a defibrillation shock is applied to the electrode to resuscitate the heart. There is known an automatic external defibrillator (AED) that can easily perform the above.

  That is, this automatic external defibrillator transmits an electric shock (electrotherapeutic pulse) consisting of a high-amplitude current pulse and pulse waveform to the heart in order to restore the rhythm of the patient's heart to a normal level. Is. And today, it can be handled easily by a person with the necessary training and knowledge so that it can respond immediately to a patient who has experienced an emergency that suddenly stops functioning in a place other than the hospital. Automatic external defibrillators that enable and provide appropriate defibrillation treatments have been manufactured and widely installed in public facilities at appropriate locations.

  In this type of automatic external defibrillator, the current pulse generated to give an electric shock to the patient, and the electrical output energy in the form of a pulse waveform, assuming that the resistance of the living body is 50Ω in the case of an adult, for example. It is set by the energy applied to the living body. In the paddle electrode for external use, the upper limit of the maximum energy is set to 360 J in consideration of the possibility of damaging the myocardium.

  However, this type of automated external defibrillator may require its use, for example, even in pediatric patients under 8 years old. In this case, it is dangerous to use the above-mentioned automatic external defibrillator designed for adults because the current output generated to give an electric shock and the electric output energy in the pulse waveform are too high. It is. For example, an appropriate energy supply for a child needs to be set to be proportional to the weight of the child patient as it depends on the body mass. In this case, the paddle electrode also needs to have different sizes for adults and children.

  From this point of view, adult mode control is provided with a set of electrodes suitable for adults and a set of electrodes suitable for children, and corresponding to these electrodes, each set to an appropriate output energy for adults And an automatic external defibrillation device provided with a child mode control unit set to an appropriate output energy for a child, and an operator performs selection operation of the adult mode control unit or the child mode control unit Thus, an automatic external defibrillation system has been proposed that is adapted to be used for both adults and children (see Patent Document 1).

  That is, the automatic external defibrillation system disclosed in Patent Document 1 is coupled to an energy source, an electrode interface, an electrode signal management unit coupled to the energy source and the electrode interface, and the electrode signal management unit. A control unit, an adult / child mode controller indicating whether the automatic external defibrillation system should operate in adult mode or child mode, and coupled to the electrode interface for both adults and children And a set of general-purpose electrodes suitable for use.

  In the automatic external defibrillation system described in Patent Document 1, an adult / child mode control unit indicating whether to operate in the adult mode or the child mode is selected by an adult / child mode controller. It is configured as a child switch and the operation mode of automatic external defibrillation can be specified depending on the setting of this adult / child switch, so that the operator can specify whether the patient is an adult or a child There is an advantage that can be facilitated.

  However, for example, when an adult / child switch is provided, it is important to quickly respond to an urgent patient's treatment without erroneous selection operation. In other words, when an adult patient is operated in the child mode, the patient cannot receive a sufficient electric shock, and the defibrillation function cannot be effectively exhibited. is there. In addition, when the child patient is operated in the adult mode, an excessive electric shock is given to the patient, and there is a risk of causing the same result as described above.

  In order to avoid such a danger, it has been proposed to use a switch with a key that needs to be turned to set the adult / child switch to the child mode control. That is, the adult / child switch is configured to perform adult mode control in a normal operation and to perform child mode control when a keyed switch is operated. However, the use of a switch with a key has a drawback that the operation becomes complicated, and there is a risk that it is operated in an adult mode control of a normal operation when treating a child patient who needs urgency.
