Συστήματα για τη μη επεμβατική μέτρηση της πίεσης του αίματοςΜπάκας, Στέφανος 13 October 2013 (has links)
Μια συσκευή για τη μέτρηση της πίεσης του αίματος ενός ασθενή, περιλαμβάνει έναν επεξεργαστή προσκολλημένο σε μια συσκευή εισόδου, ο οποίος δέχεται μια αρχική είσοδο, που αντιπροσωπεύει την απόλυτη πίεση του αίματος του ασθενή και ένα μη-επεμβατικό αισθητήρα, που ακουμπάει τον ασθενή για τη μέτρηση τουλάχιστον μιας ‘φυσιολογικής’ λειτουργίας. Ο επεξεργαστής εκτελεί μια διαδικασία για την εκτίμηση της αρχικής εισόδου και της ‘φυσιολογικής’ λειτουργίας, για να υπολογίσει την πίεση του αίματος του ασθενή. Μια μέθοδος για τον υπολογισμό της πίεσης του αίματος ενός ασθενή, περιλαμβάνει τα βήματα της αποθήκευσης της αρχικής εισόδου, που αντιπροσωπεύει την απόλυτη πίεση του αίματος του ασθενή, της μη-επεμβατικής ‘αίσθησης’ (μέσω αισθητήρα) τουλάχιστον μιας ‘φυσιολογικής’ λειτουργίας και της εκτίμησης των δύω τιμών για τον υπολογισμό της πίεσης του αίματος. Η παρούσα εργασία μπορεί επίσης να χρησιμοποιηθεί για την ανάλυση και τον εντοπισμό άλλων ‘φυσιολογικών’ μεταβλητών όπως της ενδοτικότητας των τοιχωμάτων των αγγείων, των αλλαγών στην ένταση των κοιλιακών συστολών, των αλλαγών στην αγγειακή αντίσταση, των αλλαγών στον όγκο των υγρών, των αλλαγών στον καρδιακό παλμό, της συσταλτικότητας του μυοκαρδίου και άλλων σχετικών παραγόντων. / This dissertation refers to a device for non-invasively measuring the blood pressure of a patient. Such a device consists of a processor attached to an input device, which receives an initial input value, representing the patient’s absolute pressure, and a non-invasive sensor attached to the patient for measuring at least one physiological function. For determining the patient’s blood pressure, the processor performs a process for evaluating the initial input and the physiological function of the sensor. A method for non-invasively measuring a patient’s blood pressure includes, firstly, storing the initial input (which represents the patient’s absolute pressure), secondly, non-invasively sensing at least one physiological function and, finally, evaluating both these inputs for measuring the patient’s blood pressure. This dissertation can also be used for the analysis of other physiological variables such as vascular wall compliance, changes in the strength of ventricular contractions, alterations in fluid volume or in cardiac output and other related factors.

The Effect of Skin and Soft Tissue on Spinal Frequency Response MeasurementsDecker, Colleen 11 1900 (has links)
Introduction: This study sought to investigate the effects of soft tissue on
measurements of a spinal vibration response using skin-mounted
accelerometers and a non-invasive contact tip.
Methods: Vibration was applied to the spine of porcine and human cadavers.
Measurements of the spinal vibration response were taken from needle, skin,
and bone-mounted accelerometers. Several skin-mounted accelerometer
placements dorsal to a spinous process were tested, and 6 different non-invasive
contact tip shapes were used to explore sources of variance in the signals.
Results: Vibration measured from skin-mounted accelerometers had altered
signal patterns compared to bone-mounted accelerometers. The measured FRF
was found to be sensitive to accelerometer positioning. No significant difference
in skin-bone correlation was attributed to contact tip shape or vertebral level.
Conclusion: The use of a non-invasive contact tip excites vibration in the soft
tissues which overlay the spine, in addition to the vertebral column. This
vibration interferes with skin sensor measurements of vertebral vibration
response, with the effect diminishing as distance from the contact tip increases.
Small changes in contact tip shape do not affect the correlation between skin
and bone signals.

Μη επεμβατική μέθοδος μέτρησης γλυκόζηςΚαλαμπόγιας, Ιωάννης, Καραμήτσιος, Σταμάτιος 09 January 2012 (has links)
Στην παρούσα διπλωματική παρουσιάζεται η εξομοίωση της μεθόδου για
την μη επεμβατική μέτρηση της γλυκόζης στο αίμα. Η καρδιά της μεθόδου
είναι ο μικροεπεξεργαστής της Texas Instruments Msp430f169, τον οποίο και
προγραμματίσαμε σε γλώσσα C. Η φυσική αρχή λειτουργίας που στηριχθήκαμε
είναι ο νόμος απορρόφησης του φωτός του Beer - Lambert. Το αναλογικό σήμα
το μετατρέψαμε σε ψηφιακό με τη χρήση του ADC12 μετατροπέα, το οποίο
είναι περιφερειακό στοιχείο του μικροεπεξεργαστή. / This thesis presents the simulation method for non-invasive measurement of blood glucose. The heart of this method is its microprocessor, Texas Instruments Msp430f169, which was programmed in language C. The physical principle of operation supported
is the law of light absorption of the Beer - Lambert. The analog signal is converted to digital, using the ADC12 converter, which is
a regional component of the microprocessor.

Non-invasive artificial pulse oximetry : development & testingCloete, Garth 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MScEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2012. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The monitoring of patients in healthcare is of prime importance to ensure their
efficient treatment. The monitoring of blood oxygen saturation in tissues
affected by diseases or conditions that may negatively affect the function is a
field that has grown in importance in recent times.
This study involved the development and testing of a highly sensitive noninvasive
blood oxygen saturation device. The device can be used to continuously
monitor the condition of tissue affected by diseases which affect the blood flow
through the tissue, and the oxygen usage in tissue. The device’s system was
designed to specifically monitor occluded tissue which has low oxygen
saturations and low perfusion. With the use of the device, it is possible to
monitor the status of tissue affected by diseases such as meningococcemia and
diabetes mellitus or conditions such as the recovery after plastic surgery.
The study delved into all aspects involved in the development of a non-invasive
artificial pulse oximeter, including but not limited to that of a detailed device
design, signals analysis, animal in-vivo and laboratory in-vitro system design for
the calibration of the system as well as human clinical validation and testing
procedures. All these aspects were compared to determine the relative
accuracies of the different models.
Through testing it was shown that it is possible to non-invasively measure the
mixed oxygen saturation in occluded tissue. However, without accurate
validation techniques and methods of obtaining both arterial and venous blood
samples in occluded tissue the system could not be fully validated for
determining both the arterial and venous oxygen saturations in the human invivo
study.
Although the system was unable to accurately measure specifically the venous
oxygenation it was able to measure the mixed oxygen saturation. With further
research it would be possible to validate the system for measuring both the
arterial and venous oxygen saturations. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die monitering van pasiënte in gesondheidsorg is van uiterste belang om
doeltreffende behandeling te verseker. Die monitering van bloedsuurstofversadiging
in weefsels wat geaffekteer word deur siektes of toestande wat ’n
negatiewe impak kan hê op die funksie daarvan is ’n gebied wat aansienlike
groei getoon het in die onlangse verlede.
Die studie het die ontwikkeling en toetsing van ’n hoogs sensitiewe nieindringende
bloedsuurstofversadigingsensor ingesluit. Hierdie sensor kan
gebruik word om deurentyd die toestand van weefsel te monitor wat
geaffekteer word deur siektes wat bloedvloei deur weefsel affekteer sowel as
die suurstofgebruik in die weefsel. Die stelsel is ontwerp om spesifiek die
ingeslote weefsel wat lae suurstofversadiging en lae perfusie het, te monitor.
Deur gebruik te maak van die toestel is dit moontlik om die toestand van die
weefsel wat geaffekteer word deur siektes soos meningococcemia en diabetes
mellitus of toestande soos die herstel na plastiese sjirurgie te monitor.
Die studie het gekyk na alle aspekte wat betrokke is in die ontwikkeling van ’n
nie-indringende kunsmatige pols-oksimeter, insluitend maar nie beperk tot
gedetailleerde ontwerp nie, sein analise, dier in-vivo en laboratorium in-vitro
stelselontwerp vir die kalibrasie van die stelsel sowel as menslike kliniese
bekragtiging en toetsprosedures. Al hierdie aspekte is vergelyk om die relatiewe
akkuraatheid van die verskillende modelle te bepaal.
Die toetse het gewys dat dit moontlik is om nie-indringend die gemengde
suurstofversadiging in weefsel te bepaal. Sonder akkurate bekragtigingstegnieke
en metodes om beide arteriële en vene bloedmonsters te versamel in ingeslote
weefsel kan die stesel nie ten volle bekragtig word om beide arteriële- en
veneversadigings in menslike in-vivo studie te bepaal nie.
Hoewel die stelsel nie ’n akkurate meting van die aarsuurstof kon kry nie, is daar
wel ’n akkurate meting geneem van die gemengde suurstofversadiging.
Toekomstige navorsing kan lei tot die bekragtiging van die stelsel om beide
arteriële en slagaar suurstofversadigings te meet.

The inclusion of a new device in clinical practice requires an adequate validation. The original publication which introduced multichannel bioimpedance monitor MBM was focused on discribing its technical parameters and demonstration measurements. Further evaluation desires comparision with other standard measuring device. This thesis describes pulse wave measurement by MBM and by other medical devices used for establishing cardiovascular risk. It proposes the validation experiment with synchronized vascular ultrasonography as a reference method. The process of the experimental measurement, aquired data and following data analysis are described in detail. The outputs of the experiment are statistically evaluated. The MBM’s performance and design of the experiment are discussed.
