Description
AEDによる除細動治療では、患者の体表に電極パッドを装着して直流電圧を印加することにより、患者の体内に電気エネルギーを与える。ここに、電極パッドから患者の体内に流れる電気エネルギーは、通常150~200Jとされ、そのうちの一部(通常、数%~20%程度)が心臓に流れて除細動治療に供される。
しかしながら、電気エネルギーを体外から供給するAEDによっては、細動を起こしている心臓に対して効果的な電気エネルギー(例えば10~30J)を供給することは困難である。
一方、体外から供給される電気エネルギーが高い割合で心臓に流れた場合には、心臓の組織が損傷を受ける虞も考えられる。
また、AEDによる除細動治療では、電極パッドを装着した体表に火傷が生じやすい。そして、上記のように、心臓に流れる電気エネルギーの割合が少ない場合には、電気エネルギーの供給を繰り返して行うことによって火傷の程度が重くなり、カテーテル術を受けている患者にとって相当の負担となる。
本発明の他の目的は、患者の体表に火傷を生じさせることなく、除細動治療を行うことのできる心腔内除細動カテーテルシステムを提供することにある。
本発明の更に他の目的は、除細動治療を行わないときには、除細動カテーテルを心電位測定用の電極カテーテルとして使用することのできる心腔内除細動カテーテルシステムを提供することにある。

前記除細動カテーテルの電極(第1DC電極群および/または第2DC電極群を構成する電極)により心電位を測定するときには、切替部において第1接点が選択され、前記除細動カテーテルからの心電位情報が、前記電源装置の前記カテーテル接続コネクタ、前記切替部および前記心電計接続コネクタを経由して前記心電計に入力され、
前記除細動カテーテルにより除細動を行うときには、前記電源装置の前記演算処理部によって前記切替部の接点が第2接点に切り替わり、前記DC電源部から、前記演算処理部の出力回路、前記切替部および前記カテーテル接続コネクタを経由して、前記除細動カテーテルの前記第1DC電極群と、前記第2DC電極群とに、互いに異なる極性の電圧が印加されることを特徴とする。
そして、心臓に直接的に電気エネルギーを与えることができるので、患者の体表に火傷を生じさせることもない。
除細動のためのカテーテルを新に挿入するなどの手間を省くことができる。
前記電位測定電極群を構成する電極の各々に先端が接続された複数のリード線からなり、その基端側が、前記電源装置のカテーテル接続コネクタに接続される電位測定用のリード線群とを備えてなり、
前記電源装置には、前記カテーテル接続コネクタと、前記心電計接続コネクタとを直接結ぶ経路が形成され、
前記電位測定電極群を構成する電極によって測定された心電位情報は、前記電源装置の前記カテーテル接続コネクタから、前記切替部を経ることなく、前記心電計接続コネクタを経由して前記心電計に入力されることが好ましい。
(4)また、この心電位測定手段が電極パッドまたは電極カテーテルであることが好ましい。
前記心電図入力コネクタに入力された前記心電計からの心電位情報は、前記演算処理部に入力され、さらに、前記表示手段に表示されることが好ましい。
また、演算処理部に入力された心電位情報(波形)を表示手段で監視しながら除細動治療(外部スイッチの入力など)を行うことができる。
また、除細動治療を必要としないときには、本発明を構成する除細動カテーテルを心電位測定用の電極カテーテルとして用いることができる。
図1に示すように、本実施形態の心腔内除細動カテーテルシステムは、除細動カテーテル100と、電源装置700と、心電計800と、心電位測定手段900とを備えている。
好適な一例を示せば、図3において、L1(長さ52mm)で示す領域の硬度(D型硬度計による硬度)は40、L2(長さ108mm)で示す領域の硬度は55、L3(長さ25.7mm)で示す領域の硬度は63、L4(長さ10mm)で示す領域の硬度は68、L5(長さ500mm)で示す領域の硬度は72である。
マルチルーメンチューブ10の外径は、例えば1.2~3.3mmとされる。
摘まみ22を回転操作することにより、マルチルーメンチューブ10の先端部を偏向(首振り)させることができる。
は+極)を構成することになる複数の電極が狭い間隔で装着されてなる。ここに、第1DC電極群を構成する電極の個数は、電極の幅や配置間隔によっても異なるが、例えば4~13個とされ、好ましくは8~10個とされる。
第1DC電極群31Gを構成する電極31は、リード線(第1リード線群41Gを構成するリード線41)および後述するコネクタを介して、電源装置700のカテーテル接続コネクタに接続されている。
電極31の幅が狭過ぎると、電圧印加時の発熱量が過大となって、周辺組織に損傷を与える虞がある。一方、電極31の幅が広過ぎると、マルチルーメンチューブ10における第1DC電極群31Gが設けられている部分の可撓性・柔軟性が損なわれることがある。
除細動カテーテル100の使用時(心腔内に配置されるとき)において、第1DC電極群31Gは、例えば冠状静脈内に位置する。
第2DC電極群32Gを構成する電極32は、リード線(第2リード線群42Gを構成するリード線42)および後述するコネクタを介して、電源装置700のカテーテル接続コネクタに接続されている。
電極32の幅が狭過ぎると、電圧印加時の発熱量が過大となって、周辺組織に損傷を与える虞がある。一方、電極32の幅が広過ぎると、マルチルーメンチューブ10における第2DC電極群32Gが設けられている部分の可撓性・柔軟性が損なわれることがある。
除細動カテーテル100の使用時(心腔内に配置されるとき)において、第2DC電極群32Gは、例えば右心房に位置する。
基端側電位測定電極群33Gを構成する電極33は、リード線(第3リード線群43Gを構成するリード線43)および後述するコネクタを介して、電源装置700のカテーテル接続コネクタに接続されている。
電極33の幅が広過ぎると、心電位の測定精度が低下したり、異常電位の発生部位の特定が困難となったりする。
除細動カテーテル100の使用時(心腔内に配置されるとき)において、基端側電位測定電極群33Gは、例えば、異常電位が発生しやすい上大静脈に位置する。
この先端チップ35には、リード線は接続されておらず、本実施形態では電極として使用していない。但し、リード線を接続させることにより、電極として使用することも可能である。先端チップ35の構成材料は、白金、ステンレスなどの金属材料、各種の樹脂材料など、特に限定されるものではない。
第1リード線群41G(リード線41)により、第1DC電極群31Gを構成する8個の電極31の各々を電源装置700に電気的に接続することができる。
第2リード線群42G(リード線42)により、第2DC電極群32Gを構成する8個の電極32の各々を電源装置700に電気的に接続することができる。
るとともに、マルチルーメンチューブ10の管壁に形成された側孔から第2ルーメン12(第1リード線群41Gが延在する第1ルーメン11とは異なるルーメン)に進入する。第2ルーメン12に進入した8本のリード線42は、第2リード線群42Gとして、第2ルーメン12に延在する。
第3リード線群43G(リード線43)により、基端側電位測定電極群33Gを構成する電極33の各々を電源装置700に電気的に接続することができる。
プルワイヤ65は、第4ルーメン14に延在し、マルチルーメンチューブ10の中心軸に対して偏心して延びている。
プルワイヤ65は、ステンレスやNi-Ti系超弾性合金製で構成してあるが、必ずしも金属で構成する必要はない。プルワイヤ65は、たとえば高強度の非導電性ワイヤなどで構成してもよい。
なお、マルチルーメンチューブの先端部を偏向させる機構は、これに限定されるものではなく、例えば、板バネを備えてなるものであってもよい。
また、図6乃至図8に示すように、ハンドル20の内部には、3つのリード線群(第1リード線群41G、第2リード線群42G、第3リード線群43G)の各々が挿通される3本の絶縁性チューブ(第1絶縁性チューブ26、第2絶縁性チューブ27、第3絶縁性チューブ28)が延在している。
第1ルーメン11に連結された第1絶縁性チューブ26は、ハンドル20の内部に延在する第1の保護チューブ61の内孔を通ってコネクタ50(ピン端子が配置された先端面50A)の近傍まで延びており、第1リード線群41Gの基端部をコネクタ50の近傍に案内する挿通路を形成している。これにより、マルチルーメンチューブ10(第1ルーメン11)から延び出した第1リード線群41Gは、キンクすることなく、ハンドル20の内部(第1絶縁性チューブ26の内孔)を延在することができる。
第1絶縁性チューブ26の基端開口から延び出した第1リード線群41Gは、これを構成する8本のリード線41にばらされ、これらリード線41の各々は、コネクタ50の先端面50Aに配置されたピン端子の各々にハンダにより接続固定されている。ここに、第1リード線群41Gを構成するリード線41が接続固定されたピン端子(ピン端子51)が配置されている領域を「第1端子群領域」とする。
第2ルーメン12に連結された第2絶縁性チューブ27は、ハンドル20の内部に延在する第2の保護チューブ62の内孔を通ってコネクタ50(ピン端子が配置された先端面50A)の近傍まで延びており、第2リード線群42Gの基端部をコネクタ50の近傍に案内する挿通路を形成している。これにより、マルチルーメンチューブ10(第2ルーメン12)から延び出した第2リード線群42Gは、キンクすることなく、ハンドル20の内部(第2絶縁性チューブ27の内孔)を延在することができる。
第2絶縁性チューブ27の基端開口から延び出した第2リード線群42Gは、これを構成する8本のリード線42にばらされ、これらリード線42の各々は、コネクタ50の先端面50Aに配置されたピン端子の各々にハンダにより接続固定されている。ここに、第2リード線群42Gを構成するリード線42が接続固定されたピン端子(ピン端子52)が配置されている領域を「第2端子群領域」とする。
第3ルーメン13に連結された第3絶縁性チューブ28は、ハンドル20の内部に延在する第2の保護チューブ62の内孔を通ってコネクタ50(ピン端子が配置された先端面50A)の近傍まで延びており、第3リード線群43Gの基端部をコネクタ50の近傍に案内する挿通路を形成している。これにより、マルチルーメンチューブ10(第3ルーメン13)から延び出した第3リード線群43Gは、キンクすることなく、ハンドル20の内部(第3絶縁性チューブ28の内孔)を延在することができる。
第3絶縁性チューブ28の基端開口から延び出した第3リード線群43Gは、これを構成する4本のリード線43にばらされ、これらリード線43の各々は、コネクタ50の先端面50Aに配置されたピン端子の各々にハンダにより接続固定されている。ここに、第3リード線群43Gを構成するリード線43が接続固定されたピン端子(ピン端子53)が配置されている領域を「第3端子群領域」とする。
絶縁性チューブの肉厚としては、20~40μmであることが好ましく、好適な一例を示せば30μmである。
切り、リード線41と、リード線42およびリード線43とを互いに隔離する隔壁板55を備えている。
隔壁板55の高さ(基端縁から先端縁までの距離)は、コネクタ50の先端面50Aと絶縁性チューブ(第1絶縁性チューブ26および第2絶縁性チューブ27)との離間距離より高いことが必要であり、この離間距離が7mmの場合、隔壁板55の高さは、例えば8mmとされる。高さが7mm未満の隔壁板では、その先端縁を、絶縁性チューブの基端よりも先端側に位置させることができない。
隔壁板55を備えていない場合には、リード線41と、リード42とを整然と隔離する(分ける)ことができず、これらが混線するおそれがある。
これにより、第1絶縁性チューブ26の基端開口から延び出したリード線(第1リード線群41Gを構成するリード線41)と、第2絶縁性チューブ27の基端開口から延び出たリード線(第2リード線群42Gを構成するリード線42)との間には、常に隔壁板55が存在することになり、リード線41とリード線42との接触による短絡を確実に防止することができる。
ピン端子51に接続固定された8本のリード線41、第2絶縁性チューブ27の基端開口から延び出してコネクタ50のピン端子52に接続固定された8本のリード線42、第3絶縁性チューブ28の基端開口から延び出してコネクタ50のピン端子53に接続固定された4本のリード線43は、これらの周囲が樹脂58で固められることにより、それぞれの形状が保持固定されている。
そして、絶縁性チューブの基端部が樹脂成形体の内部に埋め込まれている構成によれば、絶縁性チューブの基端開口より延び出してからピン端子に接続固定されるまでのリード線(基端部分)の全域を樹脂58によって完全に覆うことができ、リード線(基端部分)の形状を完全に保持固定することができる。
また、樹脂成形体の高さ(基端面から先端面までの距離)は、隔壁板55の高さよりも高いことが好ましく、隔壁板55の高さが8mmの場合に、例えば9mmとされる。
第1リード線群を構成する8本のリード線41を接続固定したピン端子51(実際には8個)と、カテーテル接続コネクタ72の端子721(実際には8個)、
第2リード線群を構成する8本のリード線42を接続固定したピン端子52(実際には8個)と、カテーテル接続コネクタ72の端子722(実際には8個)、
第3リード線群を構成する4本のリード線43を接続固定したピン端子53(実際には4個)と、カテーテル接続コネクタ72の端子723(実際には4個)が、それぞれ接続されている。
されている。
これにより、第1DC電極群31Gおよび第2DC電極群32Gにより測定された心電位情報は、切替部76を経由して心電計接続コネクタ73に到達し、基端側電位測定電極群33Gにより測定された心電位情報は、切替部76を経ることなく、心電計接続コネクタ73に到達する。
入力手段である外部スイッチ74は、心電位測定モードと除細動モードとを切り替えるためのモード切替スイッチ741、除細動の際に印加する電気エネルギーを設定する印加エネルギー設定スイッチ742、DC電源部71を充電するための充電スイッチ743、エネルギーを印加して除細動を行うためのエネルギー印加スイッチ(放電スイッチ)744からなる。これら外部スイッチ74からの入力信号はすべて演算処理部75に送られる。
この演算処理部75には、DC電源部71からの直流電圧を切替部76を介して除細動カテーテル100の電極に出力するための出力回路751を有している。
すなわち、第1接点を選択したときには、カテーテル接続コネクタ72と、心電計接続コネクタ73とを結ぶ経路が確保され、第2接点を選択したときには、カテーテル接続コネクタ72と、演算処理部75とを結ぶ経路が確保される。
この心電図入力コネクタ77により、心電計800から出力される心電位情報(通常、心電計800に入力された心電位情報の一部)を演算処理部75に入力することができ、演算処理部75では、この心電位情報に基いて、DC電源部71および切替部76を制御することができる。
された心電位情報は、心電計接続コネクタ73から心電計800に入力される。
ここに、心電位測定手段900としては、12誘導心電図を測定するために患者の体表面に貼付される電極パッド、患者の心臓内に装着される電極カテーテル(除細動カテーテル100とは異なる電極カテーテル)を挙げることができる。
このとき、電源装置700の切替部76は、心電計接続コネクタ73が接続された第1接点を選択している。
また、除細動カテーテル100の基端側電位測定電極群33Gを構成する電極によって測定された心電位は、カテーテル接続コネクタ72から、切替部76を通ることなく直接心電計接続コネクタ73を経由して心電計800に入力される。
また、除細動カテーテル100からの心電位情報の一部(例えば、第1DC電極群31Gを構成する電極31(第1極と第2極)間の電位差)を、心電計800から、心電図入力コネクタ77および演算処理部75を経由して、表示手段78に入力して表示することができる。
電源装置700の演算処理部75に入力する(図11AのStep1)。このとき、演算処理部75に入力された心電位情報の一部は表示手段78に表示される(図12参照)。
また、除細動カテーテル100の第1DC電極群31Gおよび/または第2DC電極群32Gの構成電極から、カテーテル接続コネクタ72、切替部76、心電計接続コネクタ73を経由して心電計800に入力された心電位情報、除細動カテーテル100の基端側電位測定電極群33Gの構成電極から、カテーテル接続コネクタ72、心電計接続コネクタ73を経由して心電計800に入力された心電位情報は、心電計800のモニタ(図示省略)に表示されている。
モード切替スイッチ741の入力により「除細動モード」となる(Step2)。
なお、切替部76の接点が第2接点を選択している時間(上記のStep3~Step5)は、例えば1秒間とされる。
ここに、抵抗が一定の値を超えている場合には、第1DC電極群および/または第2DC電極群が、所定の部位(例えば、冠状静脈の管壁、右心房の内壁)に確実に当接されていないことを意味するので、Step1に戻り、電極の位置を再調整する必要がある。
このように、除細動カテーテル100の第1DC電極群および第2DC電極群が、所定の部位(例えば、冠状静脈の管壁、右心房の内壁)に対し確実に当接されたときにのみ電圧を印加することができるので、効果的な除細動治療を行うことができる。
本実施形態における電極装置700によれば、印加エネルギーは1Jから30Jまで、
1J刻みで設定することができる。
具体的には、演算処理部75に逐次入力される心電位波形(心電位測定手段900からの12誘導心電図の一部)において1つのR波(最大ピーク)を検知して、そのピーク高さを求め、次に、このピーク高さの80%の高さ(トリガーレベル)に電位差が到達した時点(次のR波が立ち上がり時)から一定時間(例えば、R波のピーク幅の1/10程度の極めて短い時間)の経過後に印加を開始する。
先ず、演算処理部75に入力された心電位波形における電位差がトリガーレベルに到達してから一定時間(t0 )経過後、第1DC電極群31Gが-極、第2DC電極群32Gが+極となるよう、両者の間で直流電圧を印加することにより、電気エネルギーが供給されて測定電位が立ち上がる(V1 は、このときのピーク電圧である。)。一定時間(t1 )経過後、第1DC電極群31Gが+極、第2DC電極群32Gが-極となるよう、±を反転した直流電圧を両者の間で印加することにより、電気エネルギーが供給されて測定電位が立ち上がる(V2 は、このときのピーク電圧である。)。
これにより、演算処理部75に入力された心電位波形(最大ピークであるR波)に同期をとって電圧を印加することができ、効果的な除細動治療を行うことができる。
測定されるピーク電圧(V1 )は、例えば300~600Vとされる。
波形)が表示手段78に表示される(Step13)。表示時間としては、例えば5秒間とされる。
そして、心臓に直接的に電気エネルギーを与えることができるので、患者の体表に火傷を生じさせることもない。
図16は、本発明の心腔内除細動カテーテルシステムの他の実施形態を示すブロック図である。
本実施形態における電源装置701には、第1実施形態における電源装置700の構成に加えて、抵抗値既知の内蔵抵抗79と、この内蔵抵抗79が接続された切替部762と
が設けられ、外部スイッチ74としてテストモードスイッチ745が設けられている。
すなわち、第1接点を選択したときには、演算処理部75と切替部76とを結ぶ経路が確保され、第2接点を選択したときには、演算処理部75と内蔵抵抗79とを結ぶ経路が確保される。
切替部762の第2接点に接続された内蔵抵抗79の抵抗値は、例えば50Ωとされる。
具体的には、テストモードスイッチ745を入力すると、演算処理部75によって切替部762の接点が第2接点に切り替わり、演算処理部75から切替部762を経由して内蔵抵抗79に至る経路が確保され、これにより、内蔵抵抗79の抵抗値を測定することができる。測定された抵抗値は、表示手段78に表示されるので、表示された測定値が既知の抵抗値(50Ω)に合致しているか否か(除細動カテーテルを接続したときに、その電極群間の抵抗を正確に測定できるか否か)を確認することができる。
