"Verfahren zur störungsfreien Erfassung des peripheren Pulses""Procedure for the undisturbed detection of the peripheral pulse"
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur photoelektronischen Erfassung des peripheren Pulses mit Hilfe einer Lichtquelle und eines Lichtempfängers,The invention relates to a method for photoelectronic detection of the peripheral pulse with the aid of a light source and a light receiver,
Die Kontrolle der peripheren Durchblutung und der Pulsfre = quenz ist für die Kreislaufdiagnose und -Überwachung von großer Bedeutung. Hierzu hat es sich als zweckmäßig erwiesen, die durch die Herztätigkeit verursachten und u.a. durch die Gefäßmuskulatur beeinflußten Volumenschwankungen in peripheren Gefäßen zu kontrollieren.Control of peripheral blood flow and pulse rate quenzy is of great importance for circulatory diagnosis and monitoring. To this end, it has proven to be useful the volume fluctuations in control peripheral vessels.
Es sind Verfahren bekannt, die hierzu die Absorbtion des von einer Quelle ausgehenden Lichtes konstanter Intensi= tat im Gewebe ausnützen (DT-Gbm 1 96I I86 und H. Kresse: "Prinzipien und kritischer Vergleich einiger peripherer Pulsabnehmer", Elektromedizin 13 (1968 : 25-30). Ein schwer= wiegender Nachteil der bisher bekannten Verfahren besteht darin, daß der Lichtempfänger auch auf Änderungen des Um= gebungslichtes anspricht, dem Nutzsignal also ein u.U. größeres Störsignal Überlagert wird. Wird mit derartigen Einrichtungen die Pulsfrequenz überwacht, dann kann z.B. beim Einschalten der Raumbeleuchtung Fehlalarm ausgelöst werden. Um diese Störungen von Umgebungslichtschwankungen auszuschalten, muß der beschriebene Pulsaufnehmer und die Meßstelle durch lichtundurchlässiges Material abgedeckt werden. Dieses Abdecken ist lästig und an einer der bevor= zugten Meßstellen, am Ohr, schwierig. Ein weiterer NachteilMethods are known which for this purpose the absorption of the light of constant intensity emanating from a source exploiting the fact in the tissue (DT-Gbm 1 96I I86 and H. Kresse: "Principles and critical comparison of some peripheral heart rate collectors", Elektromedizin 13 (1968: 25-30). A hard = The main disadvantage of the previously known method is that the light receiver is also sensitive to changes in Um = ambient light responds, i.e. a possibly larger interference signal is superimposed on the useful signal. Will with such Equipment monitors the pulse frequency, for example when the room lighting is switched on, false alarms can be triggered will. In order to eliminate these disturbances from fluctuations in ambient light, the pulse sensor described and the The measuring point must be covered by an opaque material. This covering is annoying and one of the before = close measuring points, on the ear, difficult. Another disadvantage

der bekannten Verfahren besteht darin, daß die Licht kon= stanter Intensität aussendende Lichtquelle viel Wärme er= zeugt. Die zur Abfuhr der Wärme erforderliche große Ober= fläche des Pulsaufnehmers steht der angestrebten Minia= turisierung entgegen.the known method consists in the fact that the light source emitting light of constant intensity generates a lot of heat testifies. The large surface area of the pulse sensor required to dissipate the heat is the desired minimum against turization.
Ein weiterer Nachteil der bekannten Verfahren besteht darin, daß dem Ausgangssignal des Lichtempfangers oft Storspannungen, z.B. durch das Netz, überlagert sind, die der Lichtempfänger oder das Zuleitungskabel kapazitiv oder induktiv aufgenommen haben.Another disadvantage of the known method is that the output signal of the light receiver often receives interference voltages, e.g. by the network, which are superimposed on the light receiver or have picked up the supply cable capacitively or inductively.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine störungsfreie Erfassung des peripheren Pulses zu ermöglichen, d.h. den Einfluß von Umgebungslicht sowie elektrischer Störspannungen auszuschalten und die Erwärmung der Meßstelle zu vermeiden.The invention is based on the object of enabling interference-free detection of the peripheral pulse, i.e. the Eliminate the influence of ambient light and electrical interference voltages and avoid heating the measuring point.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht bei einem Verfahren der eingangs beschriebenen Gattung erfindungsgemäß darin, daß die Lichtquelle moduliertes Licht impulsweise aussendet. In vorteilhafter Weise ermöglicht damit das Verfahren, störungs= freie Meßsignale zu benutzen. Die Quelle kann sinusmodu= lierte Signale in bestimmten zeitlichen Abständen bereit= stellen oder auch mit Pulsmodulation arbeiten, insbesondere wird in beiden Fällen amplitudenmoduliertes Licht aus ge send et',·* Zur Vermeidung der Erwärmung der Meßstelle ist die Impuls= dauer vorzugsweise kürzer als die Impulspause. Bei entspre= chender Festlegung der Fühlerabmessungen ist die abzufüh= rende Verlustleistung vernachlässigbar. Vortexlhafterviexse können die von der Lichtquelle abgegebenen Lichtsignale Frequenzen enthalten, die so groß sind, daß in den dem Em= pfänger nachgeschalteten Verstärkern Nutzsignale und Stör= signale aufgrund ihrer unterschiedlichen Frequenzen ge= trennt werden können.'In a method of the type described at the outset, this object is achieved according to the invention in that the light source emits modulated light in pulses. Advantageously, the method thus enables disturbance = to use free measurement signals. The source can prepare sine-modulated signals at certain time intervals or work with pulse modulation, in particular in both cases amplitude-modulated light is sent out ', * To prevent the measuring point from heating up, the pulse duration is preferably shorter than the pulse pause. If corresponding = According to the definition of the sensor dimensions, the sensor is to be sensed = The resulting power loss is negligible. Vortex cells can use the light signals emitted by the light source Contain frequencies that are so large that useful signals and interference signals in the amplifiers connected downstream of the receiver signals can be separated due to their different frequencies.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher beschrieben. Ein Generator 1 liefert die Spannungsimpulse für eine Licht aussendende Halbleiterdiode 2. Die von der Diode ausgehenden Lichtimpulse werden von einem Gewebe 3 entsprechend der dort stattfindenden Absorbtion in ihrer Intensität verändert und von einer Fotodiode 1J in Spannungsimpulse umgewandelt, die ein Maß für die Pulsfrequenz sind. Ein nachgeschalteter Verstärker 5 unterdrückt die niederfrequenten, durch Störungen, z.B. durch eine elektrische Lichtquelle, verursachten Anteile des Eingangssignals und gibt die verstärkten Impulse an einen Spitzenspannungsspeicher 6 weiter. Der Pegel der am Ausgang des Spitzenspannungsspeichers anstehenden Signal= spannung 8 wird nach Abtrennung des Gleichspannungsanteils im Verstärker 7 angehoben.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and is described in more detail below. A generator 1 supplies the voltage pulses for a light-emitting semiconductor diode 2. The emitted by the diode light pulses are changed from one fabric 3 according to the held there absorbance in intensity and converted by a photodiode 1 J into voltage pulses which are a measure of the pulse rate . A downstream amplifier 5 suppresses the low-frequency components of the input signal caused by interference, for example from an electrical light source, and forwards the amplified pulses to a peak voltage store 6. The level of the signal = voltage 8 present at the output of the peak voltage memory is raised after the DC voltage component has been separated off in the amplifier 7.
