Definitions
- This invention relates to artificial cardiac stimu ⁇ lation and more precisely to cardiac stimulation implan ⁇ tations equipped both with a rheograph and a radio-fre ⁇ quency receiver for alternative stimulation supplied by an external radio-frequency transmitter.
- a rheograph capable of sensing the patient's respiratory rate and that accor ⁇ dingly adjusts the artificial stimulation rate, is inser ⁇ ted, in other words, when the respiratory rate is faster the pacemaker increases the stimulation rate and vice- versa.
- the rheograph senses the respiratory rate by sending a weak current through the patient's tissue between an external pole, implanted in the tissue and adequately con- nected to the rheograph, and the ' pacemaker external casing acting as second pole. Since the impedance of the patient's tissue varies when the respiratory muscles contract, the rheograph detects such variation and measures the respi ⁇ ratory rate.
- the electrode connecting the pacemaker to the heart is unipolar and has, clamped on it, the radio-frequency receiver that carries a plate in contact with the patient's tissue.
- the pacemaker has a plate in contact with the patient's tis- sue, and, both in case of stimulation from the pacemaker and alternative stimulation from the external transmitter, one of the signal polarities (negative) is transmitted by the electrode while the other polarity (positive) clo ⁇ ses from the heart onto the contact plates of one or the other device, through the patient's tissue.
- the electrode utilized in cardiac electro-stimulation implantations of this ty ⁇ pe is a bipolar electrode; a ⁇ d the radio-frequency recei- ver is clamped thereon.
- the radio-receiver "splits" the electro ⁇ de into two lengths, a first length comprised between the pacemaker and radio-receiver and a second length com ⁇ prised between the latter and heart.
- the second conductor of the bipolar electrode can then be used to connect the rheograph to the radio-fre ⁇ quency receiver plate used as the pole external to the pacemaker, thus avoiding the implant in the patient of another foreign element.
- the plate is eliminated and replaced by a metal clip clamped on the electrode con ⁇ ductor connected to the rheograph,an electrically connec- ted to this conductor.
- fig. 1 shows a first embodiment of the invention wherein the electrode connecting the heart to the pacema ⁇ ker is bipolar in the whole length
- fig. 1A shows another embodiment still utilizing a bipolar electrode wherein a metal clip is clamped on one of the electrode conductor
- fig. 2 is a similar view of a third embodiment of the invention wherein only th,e length of the electrode comprised between the pacemaker and the radio-frequency receiver is bipolar.
- electrode 12 connecting pacemaker 11 to the patient's heart CC is bipolar in its whole length.
- the radio- frequency receiver 14 for alternative stimulation is at ⁇ tached.
- the first one indicated with 12' connects directly the negative out put of pacemaker 11 to heart CC while the other conductor is "splitted" in two separate lengths.
- One length, indica ⁇ ted by 12 ' A connects rheograph 10 of the pacemaker to con ⁇ tact plate 15 of radio-frequency receiver 14; the other length indicated by 12 'B connects pick-up coil 14A of ra ⁇ dio-frequency receiver 14 to heart CC.
- pacemaker 11 will transmit the negative polarity of the stimulating signals through con ⁇ ductor 12' while the positive polarity will close from the heart onto pacemaker plate 13 through the patient's tissue.
- the positive polarity of the stimulating signals from the external transmitter and pacemaker is transmit ⁇ ted through conductor 12 'B while the negative polarity is still transmitted through the length of the conductor 12' comprised between its connecting point to pick-up coil 14' A, referred to by 16, and heart CC.
- the positive polarity of the stimulating signals from the external transmitter and pacemaker is transmit ⁇ ted through conductor 12 'B while the negative polarity is still transmitted through the length of the conductor 12' comprised between its connecting point to pick-up coil 14' A, referred to by 16, and heart CC.
- the plate of radio- frequency receiver 214 in contact with the patient's tissue is eliminated and the external pole of rheograph 210 comprises a metal clip 220 directly clamped on con- ductor 212'A and electrically connected thereto.
- Clip 220 is naturally also in contact with the patient's tissue, being the insulating jacket of the conductor removed in correspondance with clip 220.
- Conductor 212'A has a dead and on radio-receiver 214. In operation clip 220 acts as plate 15 of receiver
- plate 115 of radio-frequency receiver 114 is used as a pole of rheograph 110 that correlates the stimulation ra ⁇ te to the respiratory rate.
- the negative polarity of the stimulating signals is transmitted to heart CC through conductor 112' while the positive polarity closes onto pacemaker plate 113 through the patient's tissue.
- the positive polarity of the sti ⁇ mulation signals will close onto the plate 115 through the patient's tissue.
Abstract
Une implantation, destinée à la stimulation cardiaque au moyen d'un pacemaker (11), est pourvue d'un rhéographe (10) (connu sous le nom commercial de Biorate) et comprend également un récepteur haute fréquence (14) pour la stimulation alternée au moyen d'un pacemaker externe ainsi qu'un émetteur haute fréquence. Le pacemaker implanté (11) et le récepteur haute fréquence (14) comportent une plaque (13, 15) en contact avec les tissus du patient. Le récepteur haute fréquence (14) est fixé sur un électrode bipolaire (12, 121A, 121, 121B) qui relie le pacemaker implanté (11) au coeur (CC). Grâce à un tel agencement, durant la stimulation normale au moyen du pacemaker implanté (11), l'une des polarités (négative) des signaux de stimulation est transmise au coeur à travers l'un des conducteurs (121) de l'électrode, alors que l'autre polarité (positive) aboutit à travers les tissus du patient sur la plaque de contact (13) du pacemaker (11). La plaque de contact (15) du récepteur haute fréquence (14) est connectée au rhéographe (10) par l'intermédiaire du conducteur libre (121A) de l'électrode et constitue l'un des pôles du rhéographe (10), l'autre pôle étant représenté par le corps (13) du pacemaker.
