Description

[0001] Patient monitoring apparatus and kidney monitoring apparatus [0002]

The present invention relates to a patient monitoring apparatus and an apparatus for monitoring a kidney function, and more particularly, to an apparatus for monitoring a kidney function or a kidney function through accurate real-time measurement of a body fluid discharge amount collected in a body fluid collecting bag such as a urine bag And more particularly to a patient monitoring apparatus and a kidney function monitoring apparatus for monitoring the status of a patient.

The kidney is a organ that excretes urine into the urinary bladder by filtering the blood supplied to the kidney. By monitoring the function of the kidney, it is possible to check whether the blood circulates. Particularly, in order to determine whether the circulating blood volume is normal in the case of surgery, general anesthesia, kidney transplantation, or the like which greatly affects the amount of blood supplied to each organ of the patient, It should be continuously monitored.

Thus, by continuously measuring the amount of urine generated in the kidney and excreted through the bladder, it is possible to evaluate the circulating blood volume of the patient or to evaluate the recovery of the kidney function.

In general, if a patient has difficulty in spontaneously urinating, a foley catheter is inserted into the bladder or kidney of the patient, a urine bag is connected to one end of the catheter, and urine generated in the kidney is collected into the urine pocket do.

Conventionally, in order to check the urine volume of the patient, the nurse or the caregiver of the patient reads the scale displayed on the surface of the urine bag every predetermined time to measure the urine amount by time. Such a measurement is not only inaccurate but also has a problem that it is almost impossible to measure the change amount per unit time.

U.S. Pat. No. 6,640,649 discloses a device for measuring fluid flow, which is related to "DROPLET COUNTER FOR LOW FLOW RATES". The droplet counter disclosed in this patent is a device for measuring a fluid flow using a laser sensor. The droplet counter counts the number of droplets by a laser signal to calculate the amount of fluid flowing. However, when measuring the fluid flow using this method, there is a problem that it is difficult to maintain the accuracy of 10% or less because the size of the water droplet is physically changed depending on the density, component, and surrounding structure of the liquid. In addition, the droplet counter using the method according to this patent requires a specially structured part consisting of a first chamber 12 and a second chamber 17 for counting and forming droplets, which are connected in series It should be a sterilized product to prevent infection of the patient, and is a consumable item that must be discarded after one use. Therefore, there is a problem in that the method according to this patent is costly since consumables that must be discarded after one use in actual use must be used.

Therefore, it is difficult to accurately measure whether or not the kidney function is restored by using the measured urine volume information using the conventional urine volume measuring method, and it is also difficult to determine the kidney state in real time because real-time measurement is impossible .

In addition, when an event in which a patient's surgery or treatment is performed or a specific drug is injected occurs or a specific drug or liquid is injected continuously for a predetermined period of time, such event and / It is not easy to grasp in real time and directly how to react and how the treatment effect appears. For example, it is not easy to directly monitor how a patient's renal function is restored in connection with such drug injection or surgery, when a drug such as a diuretic is injected into the patient or when surgery is performed.

The control unit 220 includes a plurality of operation modes, generates body fluid discharge information using measurement data provided from a signal input unit, and generates event information using an event signal provided from an event input unit.

The control unit is driven according to an operation mode preset or selected by the mode selection unit using the body fluid discharge information and the event information so that the user can monitor the state of the patient in real time. The controller analyzes the body fluid discharge information and the event information according to the operation mode selected by the mode selection unit or a predetermined operation mode, and outputs the analysis result to a screen of the display unit, .

In this specification, the body fluid discharge amount Qv is a value accumulated from the start of the measurement, and the body fluid discharge amount Qv (t1) at an arbitrary time t1 is calculated from the measurement start time t0 to the arbitrary time t1 ) Of total body fluids collected in the body fluid pouch. The control unit extracts a body fluid discharge amount from measurement data, and generates, stores, and manages body fluid discharge information including detection time information and body fluid discharge amount that detect the body fluid discharge amount. The body fluid discharge information includes at least detection time information that indicates a body fluid discharge amount and a body fluid discharge amount.

Meanwhile, when the event signal is provided from the event input unit, the control unit generates event information including at least the event item and the event occurrence time information, and stores and manages event information in the database. The control unit generates event information by receiving the event item and the event occurrence time information from the event input unit or setting the time at which the event item is provided as the event occurrence time information if the event occurrence time information is not provided from the event input unit.

The process of generating the body fluid discharge information using the measurement data provided from the signal input unit will be described in detail. First, when the measurement data is inputted from the signal input unit, the body fluid discharge amount Qv is calculated using the measurement data, and together with the measurement time, the body fluid discharge information is stored in the database. At this time, when the difference value between the measurement data of the previous time (t-1) and the measurement data of the current time (t) deviates from the predetermined error range such as a sudden change of the body fluid discharge amount due to an external shock or other error The noise of the measurement data may be attenuated by correcting it by judging it as noise or by calculating an average value of a plurality of measurement data inputted every predetermined unit time. Here, a method of correcting measurement data determined as noise has been variously proposed in the art, and one of these methods can be appropriately selected and used in the present invention.

Next, the corrected measurement data is converted into a body fluid discharge amount by using a predetermined formula or the like, and body fluid discharge information including detection time information of the body fluid discharge amount and the body fluid discharge amount is generated and stored in the database and managed.

If the pause function is selected in the mode selection unit, the control unit pauses all the operations. Therefore, in a situation where it is difficult to measure the state of the body fluid collector, such as when the patient is moving, it is preferable to select the pause function so as not to perform the measurement.

If the replacement function is selected in the mode selection unit, the amount of body fluid discharged before the replacement of the body fluid collector is set as the reference amount, and when the replacement completion button is input or the replacement button is re- Combined with the body fluids to be reset. Thus, when replacing the body fluid collector with a new body fluid collector, it is desirable that the body fluid discharge can be provided as a combined total of both the amount collected from the previous body fluid collector and the amount collected from the new body fluid collector. Even if the body fluid collector is newly replaced by such a summing process, the body fluid discharge amount of the replaced body fluid collector can be provided in addition to the body fluid discharge amount of the previous body fluid collector.

Hereinafter, a control method for each operation mode of the control unit will be described in detail. The control unit includes an initialization mode and first to fourth operation modes. The control unit drives the initialization mode when the reset button is input or the start button is input, and the operation mode is driven according to the button for selecting the operation mode otherwise. Meanwhile, when the pause button is input, the controller waits until the pause function is released.

In the initialization mode, the control unit initializes the measurement sensor of the body fluid collector state meter with the body fluid collector being initially disposed, and sets the measurement sensor of the body fluid collector state meter as a zero point reference.
