Description
- The present application is a national phase application of PCT/EP2010/055522, filed pursuant to 35 U.S.C.§371, which claims priority to
DE 10 2009 02 6592.9, filed May 29, 2009. Both applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. - The invention relates to a device for establishing venous inflow to a blood reservoir in an extracorporeal blood circulation system.
- An extracorporeal blood circulation system often includes, in addition to other components, a venous inflow line from a patient to a blood reservoir, for example a venous cardiotomy reservoir for blood and/or priming solution, and an arterial inflow line from the reservoir to the patient. In order to convey blood from the patient into the reservoir, the reservoir is located at a lower level than the patient so that drainage can already occur by means of gravity. Using a blood pump, usually a roller pump, the blood is conveyed out of the reservoir through the arterial inflow line and is delivered to the patient.
- So that the venous inflow to the reservoir occurs to a sufficient extent, large tube cross-sections are required in the case of pure gravitational drainage, which is problematic in respect of the strain on the patient which is associated with the drainage line. Furthermore, pure gravitational drainage is unfavorable as regards the ability to influence the venous inflow amount since in order to do so, the difference in height between the reservoir and the patient would have to be altered while maintaining the extracorporeal blood circulation.
- As is described, for example, in WO 00/44415 A, it has already been proposed to apply a vacuum to the reservoir in order to reduce the cross-section of the drainage line and to be able to influence the venous inflow. In this regard, WO 00/44415 A discloses a vacuum regulator that simplifies management of the vacuum by the user so as to increase patient safety during an operation. The reason for this is that a reliable regulation of the vacuum first of all enables a simple adjustment of the vacuum by a user and thus a simple adjustment of the venous inflow. A reliable regulation of the vacuum also prevents a vacuum which is too high and which presents a danger to the patient, whereby it must be noted that the withdrawal of the blood from the reservoir using the blood pump which arterially supplies the blood to the patient contributes to the creation and/or increase of the vacuum. In WO 00/44415 A, previously known solutions are referred to as being insufficient and an independent device for regulating the vacuum is described, which reliably regulates the vacuum in the reservoir and optionally also reduces it should this be necessary.
- When supplying blood from the reservoir to the patient, care must be taken to ensure that no more blood is removed from the reservoir than is present therein or is supplied thereto. The user must therefore make sure that there is a sufficient minimum amount in the reservoir and additionally coordinate the inflow and outflow such that sufficient amounts are built up in the reservoir but are also supplied to the patient since a physiologically sufficient supply of the patient must always be ensured in an extracorporeal blood circulation system. The user may thereby, for example, increase or reduce the delivery rate of the roller pump or he may reduce the line cross-section of the supply line by means of clamping and/or increase it again. In addition, the user must pay attention to the amount of drained blood and suitably adjust the vacuum in the reservoir—even in the aforementioned vacuum regulator. The user must meet this requirement in an environment which furthermore compels him, in all of his actions, to pay attention to the surgical operation supported by the extracorporeal circulation. Overall, the adjustment of the venous inflow amount to the reservoir of an extracorporeal blood circulation system therefore occurs in a stressful working environment, and thus the previous technical solutions for supporting the user in the adjustment of the venous inflow amount to the reservoir must be regarded as sub-optimal.
- Against this background, the technical problem to be solved by the invention is to specify a device for establishing the venous inflow to a blood reservoir of an extracorporeal blood circulation system, which further simplifies the management of the extracorporeal blood circulation system for the user.
- A device as according to the invention for establishing the venous inflow to a blood reservoir of an extracorporeal blood circulation system, which includes a venous inflow line from a patient to the reservoir and an arterial inflow line from the reservoir to the patient, further includes, in addition to a restricting unit for gradually closing, in particular clamping, the venous inflow line in order to restrict the venous inflow amount to the reservoir and a vacuum unit for applying a vacuum to the reservoir in order to increase the venous inflow amount to the reservoir, a control means which supplies to the restricting unit a first actuating signal for establishing the degree of closure of the venous inflow line in order to determine the extent of the restriction of the venous inflow amount to the reservoir, and which supplies to the vacuum unit a second actuating signal for establishing the amount of vacuum in the reservoir in order to determine the extent of the increase in the venous inflow amount to the reservoir, and which includes a single operating element for setting of the amount of venous inflow to the reservoir by a user.
- By providing a single operating element for setting of the amount of venous inflow to the reservoir by a user, the user is given the opportunity in a simple manner to determine the venous inflow to the reservoir at, above and below a basic value by a single adjustment process. The basic value is set by restricting conveyance in the case of venous inflow amounts below this value and by actively supporting conveyance of the inflow amount, which is otherwise conveyed and defined by gravity, in the case of venous inflow amounts above this value. As a result of the configuration of the control means according to the invention, it is achieved that the device according to the invention appropriately adjusts and regulates the venous inflow. It should be noted that the single operating element described above and in the following is solely for the function of setting the amount of venous inflow to the reservoir by a user. The control means can additionally include further operating elements, such as, for example, an on/off switch, a brightness regulator for optionally provided displays, a selector switch for activating/deactivating an alarm, etc. However, according to some embodiments of the invention, only one single operating element is provided for setting of the amount of venous inflow to the reservoir by a user, said element allowing setting of the venous inflow both at above and below a basic value.
- In some embodiments, the control means includes a display device for visual display of a display value corresponding to the amount of venous inflow. By means of this display, an indication of value as regards the venous inflow, the vacuum in the reservoir and/or the amount of blood stored in the reservoir can be displayed to the user.
- In some embodiments, the vacuum unit is connected to a vacuum source via a line or alternatively or additionally includes an integrated vacuum source, in particular a pump.
- In some embodiments, a vacuum sensor for detecting the vacuum in the reservoir is provided, which is connected to the control means for providing a corresponding measuring signal.
- In some embodiments, a level sensor for detecting the level of blood present in the reservoir is provided, which is connected to the control means for providing a corresponding measuring signal.
- In some embodiments, an arterial inflow amount sensor for detecting the inflow amount conveyed in the arterial inflow line is provided, which is connected to the control means for providing a corresponding measuring signal.
- In some embodiments, the control means generates a third actuating signal which establishes the delivery rate of a blood pump such that the arterial inflow amount can at least be influenced.
- In some embodiments, the single operating element is configured for specifying an amount of blood to be stored in a reservoir so that the venous inflow to the reservoir can be set in this manner.
- In some embodiments, the vacuum unit includes a safety device which, upon actuation by the control means or if control should fail, interrupts the application of a vacuum to the reservoir and establishes atmospheric pressure in the reservoir.
- The invention will be described in more detail in the following with reference to the drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 shows a view of the basic structure of an extracorporeal blood circulation system having a device according to a first embodiment of the invention; -
FIG. 2 shows a view of the basic structure of an extracorporeal blood circulation system having a device according to a second embodiment of the invention; -
FIG. 3 shows a view of the basic structure of an extracorporeal blood circulation system having a device according to a third embodiment of the invention; and -
FIG. 4 shows a view of the basic structure of an extracorporeal blood circulation system having a device according to a fourth embodiment of the invention. - As is shown in
FIG. 1 by means of a first embodiment of a device according to the invention, an extracorporeal blood circulation system basically includes, in addition to areservoir 1, avenous inflow line 2 from a patient P to thereservoir 1 and anarterial inflow line 3 from thereservoir 1 to the patient P. In order to supply blood from thereservoir 1 to the patient P, apump 9, such as a roller pump or a centrifugal pump, is provided on or in thearterial inflow line 3. As is apparent fromFIG. 1 , thereservoir 1 is located at a lower level than the patient so that a venous inflow to the reservoir is already possible owing to gravity alone, the extent of which also depends, however, on the cross-section of the tube used in the venous inflow. - In order to restrict the venous inflow to the
reservoir 1, the first embodiment of the invention as described herein includes a restricting unit 4, by which thevenous inflow line 2 can be gradually closed, for example by clamping or squeezing. For this purpose, the restricting unit 4 includes an electromagnetically, pneumatically or hydraulically-operated clamp which is not shown in detail inFIG. 1 . The restricting unit 4 is arranged on thevenous inflow line 2 and in some embodiments acts externally on the tube without coming into contact with the blood. - In order to increase the venous inflow to the
reservoir 1, the first embodiment of a device according to the invention includes avacuum unit 5 for applying a vacuum to thereservoir 1. For this purpose, thevacuum unit 5 is connected via avacuum line 10 to thereservoir 1 which is accordingly designed so as to be pressure-tight. If thevacuum unit 5 is itself not configured for generating the vacuum, for example by integration of a suitable pump, thevacuum unit 5, as is the case in the first embodiment shown inFIG. 1 , is connected to a vacuum source via avacuum source line 11. Suitable vacuum sources are generally available in the form of stationary installations in hospitals where the device according to the invention is primarily used. - According to the invention, the setting of the venous inflow by the user occurs in a simple and comfortable yet also safe manner via a control means 6 which is shown in
FIG. 1 . The control means 6 supplies to the restricting unit 4, via afirst actuation line 4 a, a first actuating signal for establishing the degree of closure of thevenous supply line 2 in order to carry out restriction of the venous inflow amount to the reservoir. The control means 6 furthermore supplies to thevacuum unit 5, via a second actuation line 5 a, a second actuating signal for establishing the amount of vacuum in thereservoir 1 in order to carry out an increase in the venous inflow amount to the reservoir. - According to the invention, the control means 6 includes a
single operating element 7 for setting of the amount of venous inflow to the reservoir by a user of the device. Solely by actuating thissingle operating element 7, the user can set the venous inflow amount to thereservoir 1 and thereby undertake both an increase to beyond the amount which is essentially determined by the gravitational drainage and the cross-section of the tube used on the venous side, as well as a reduction to below this value. The control means 6 according to the invention converts the setting carried out by the user by means of thesingle operating element 7 into a corresponding actuation of the restricting unit 4 or thevacuum unit 5 so as to thereby cause a reduction of the venous inflow amount by closing (clamping) the venousinflow tube line 2 or an increase in the venous inflow amount by creating a vacuum in thereservoir 1. - As is shown by
FIG. 1 , the first embodiment includes apressure sensor 12, which is arranged on or in thereservoir 1 so as to detect the vacuum in thereservoir 1 and provide a corresponding first measuring signal. The measuring signal of thevacuum sensor 12 is supplied via a firstmeasuring signal line 12 a to the control means 6, which can carry out regulation of the vacuum taking into account this measuring value. - The control means 6 according to the first embodiment furthermore includes a display 8 which indicates to the user the set venous inflow amount and/or the set vacuum.
-
FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of a device according to the invention, which includes all of the aspects of the first embodiment, and thus reference can be made to the description of the first embodiment in connection withFIG. 1 as regards these points. The second embodiment additionally includes alevel sensor 13 that detects the level of blood actually present in thereservoir 1 and thus detects the amount of stored blood. Thelevel sensor 13 generates a second measuring signal which is supplied to the control means 6 via a secondmeasuring signal line 13 a. With the aid of the second measuring signal, the control means 6 is able to take the amount of blood actually present in thereservoir 1 into account during vacuum regulation so as to increase the vacuum in thereservoir 1 and thus increase the venous inflow to thereservoir 1 if the level of blood in thereservoir 1 sinks below a predetermined limit. The control means 6 according to the second embodiment can furthermore monitor the reaching of a predetermined upper fill level of thereservoir 1 so as to restrict the venous inflow. -
FIG. 3 shows a third embodiment of a device according to the invention, which includes all of the aspects of the first embodiment, and thus reference can be made to the description of the first embodiment in connection withFIG. 1 as regards these points. The third embodiment additionally includes aninflow amount sensor 14 that detects the arterial inflow amount and hence the amount of blood which is supplied to the patient P via thearterial inflow line 3 and is thus removed from thereservoir 1. Theamount sensor 14 is arranged on thearterial inflow line 3 either downstream, as shown inFIG. 3 , or upstream of thepump 9. Theamount sensor 14 outputs a third measuring signal that is supplied to the control means 6 via a thirdmeasuring signal line 14 a. Owing hereto, the control means 6 is able to take the amount of blood removed from thereservoir 1 into consideration during vacuum regulation and configure the venous inflow accordingly. So as to have an influence on the arterial inflow, the control means 6 in the third embodiment can output a third actuating signal to thepump 9 via a third actuation line 9 a, by means of which the delivery rate of the pump is adjusted or at least influenced. -
FIG. 4 shows a fourth embodiment of a device according to the invention, which includes all of the aspects of the first three embodiments, and thus reference can be made to the description of the first three embodiments in connection withFIGS. 1 , 2 and 3 as regards these points. By combining all of the aspects of the embodiments described above, a device for establishing the venous inflow to thereservoir 1 is created, which allows an almost fully automatic control/regulation of the amount of blood stored in thereservoir 1. The reason for this is that via the gradual closure of the venous inflow line and the regulation of the vacuum in thereservoir 1, the control means 6 can set the amount of blood supplied to thereservoir 1, the current amount of which is respectively detected by thelevel sensor 13. The control means 6 can at the same time detect the arterial inflow amount via theamount sensor 14 and set or influence it by control of thepump 9. Accordingly, theoperating element 7 of the control means 6 can also be configured in the fourth embodiment such that the amount of blood stored in thereservoir 1 is set by the user. This design is taken into consideration inFIG. 4 insofar as the actual fill level of thereservoir 1 is also shown on the display 8. On the basis of the specification of the amount of blood by the user and taking into consideration the physiological marginal conditions that ensure supply of the patient, the control means 6 then effects in a fully automatic manner the adjustment of the venous inflow to thereservoir 1 and the arterial outflow from thereservoir 1 of the extracorporeal blood circulation system. - As is shown in
FIGS. 1 to 4 , thevacuum unit 5 can be equipped in all of the embodiments with asafety device 15 which, upon corresponding actuation by the control means 6 or if control should fail, interrupts the application of a vacuum to thereservoir 1 and establishes atmospheric pressure in thereservoir 1.
