DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ESTIMATING FUNCTIONAL STATE OF HUMAN ORGANISM REGULATION AND CONTROL SYSTEMS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine; medical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: method involves recording patient electrocardiogram in maximum comfort state in one lead and photopletysmogram. Vascular tone index (VTI) is measured as time interval from next in turn R-tooth peak to the next following pulse oscillation. Set of values is built and statistically processed. Mode value Mo_VTIR is calculated as patient rest state characteristic to estimate current functional state of patient regulation and control systems. Electrocardiogram in maximum comfort state is recorded in one lead and photopletysmogram at the same time. A set of RR-intervals and time intervals from next in turn R-tooth peak to the next following pulse oscillation is built and statistically processed. Amo, Mo and Mo_VTI values are calculated to estimate current functional state of patient. Neighboring cardio-interval values are additionally measured and mean square deviation MSDP is calculated and then variational pulse ametria SAT index is calculated from formula SAT=0.1 x Mo/MSDP and integral regulation and control system stress index of patient (IRCSS)is calculated from formula IRCSS=(SAT) x [1+(Mo_vtir-Mo_VTI)Mo_VTI. Patient organism regulation and control system state is estimated as one corresponding to normative neuropsychic stress characteristic for rest state or when working without significant psychic tension with IRCSS value being within interval from 40 to 300, working neuropsychic stress characteristic for significant tension belonging interval from 300 to 900. Neuropsychic overstress showing necessity of rest belongs to an interval from 900 to 3000. Neuropsychic overstress threatening health belongs to an interval from 3000 to 10000. Attrition showing emergency of escaping from the current state with obligatory cardiologist advice takes place when the value is greater than 10000. The device has unit for recording electrocardiogram, data processing unit and calculation unit connected to estimation unit with its output and unit for recording pulse oscillations, analog-to-digital converter unit having inputs connected to electrocardiogram-recording unit and pulse oscillations-recording unit outputs and its output are connected to calculating unit inputs via the data processing unit, and display unit for showing patient regulation and control systems state. Units for processing and calculating are manufactured on microprocessor base. Signals are form on exit from the microprocessor, their values being corresponding to integral regulation and control system stress index value of a patient(IRCSS). The unit for recording pulse oscillations is designed as electronic transducer set on patient finger. The unit for recording electrocardiogram, records cardiac pulses in single lead.

EFFECT: high accuracy in estimating functional state of human organism regulation and control system.
