Definitions
- an electrode construction for use with well-known cardiac monitoring means comprising a carbon impregnated plastic body having a conductive grid embedded therein with a lead electrically connected thereto and extending from the body. These electrodes are adapted for placement and retention in the users armpits to pick up the heartbeat signal and transmit it to the cardiac monitor.
- the electrodes have taken the form of variously shaped metal elements which are brought into direct contact with the skin.
- a conductive paste is often interposed between the electrode and the skin.
- the chemical reaction may extend to the point where a battery effect is produced, or a chemical reaction produced which is detrimental to the skin may be developed.
- electrodes have been made of plastic with a conducting medium therein to pick up the heartbeat signal which is obviously quite weak.
- conductive pastes and the like are employed to make certain that proper and necessary signal strength is picked up by the electrode.
- FIG. 1 is a pictorial view illustrating the manner in which the electrodes are applied to the users body to pick up the heartbeat signal
- FIG. 2 is a schematic view illustrating the basic components of typical heartbeat detection and monitoring apparatus
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the electrode of this invention.
- FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 4--4 of FIG. 3 showing the disposition of the conductive grid in the electrode body
- FIG. 5 is a horizontal sectional view taken along line 5-5 of FIG. 4 illustrating the grid and attached lead embedded in the body.
- the electrodes of this invention are adapted to be used with a battery operated cardiac monitor such as that described in US Pat. No. 3,613,670 to H. J. Edenhofer.
- This device takes the signal picked up by the two-spaced electrodes on the body and converts them to pulsing light or to an audible beeping signal indicative of heartbeat by, among other means, amplifying the signal and sufficiently suppressing noise and/or artifact components of the signal to prevent spurious triggering of the output indications.
- the patient 10 is holding the cardiac monitor 12 in his left hand and has placed electrodes 14 and 16 in his armpits with the upper portion of each arm pressing against the electrode to provide firm contact with the body.
- the electrodes 14 and 16 are attached via respectively associated electrical leads to a cardiac monitor 12 provided with a lamp 18 for producing the visual signal and a speaker 20 for the audible beeping.
- the monitor 12 is also provided with an on and off switch 22.
- Other and additional features may be embodied in the cardiac monitor 12 but the flashing lamp l8 and beeping speaker 20 are the most important elements for this type of heart monitormg;
- the construction of the electrodes 14 and 16, both being alike, is shown in FIGS. 3-5.
- the electrode comprises a body 30 made of carbon fiilled plastic preferably a vinyl type, however, other types of plastics may be used.
- the body 30 has a rectangular base portion 32 topped with a triangular upper portion 34. As indicated in the cross sectional view of FIG. 4., the body is pentag- Onal in cross section with a horizontal bottom 36, parallel vertical andequal sides 38 and 40 and inwardly slanted top sides 42 and 44 of equal length.
- a conducting screen or grid 50 is embedded in the body 30 so as to be horizontally disposed with respect to bottom 36.
- the bare ends 52 of lead-in wire 54 are soldered to the screen 50 and likewise embedded in the body 30.
- the electrode In actual use, the electrode is approximately 2 /2 inches long, and l A; inches wide. The thickness at the middle section which is the greatest is roughly 1/4 inch. It is preferred that stranded wire be used for the lead-in wire 54 to provide desirable flexibility and ease of handling.
- the advantages of the electrode of this invention are numerous and important.
- no conductive paste is needed.
- the plastic from which the body is made is generally inert.
- the electrode will not corrode and is readily cleaned so as to have a long use life. Also there will be no allergy problems.
- the use ofa conductive grid over the wide area of the rectangular base of the electrode provides maximum signal pick up, thus increasing reliability even under adverse circumstances.
- the shape of the electrode 14 is not necessarily limited to that disclosed, although that configuration does have some advantages particularly when used in the armpit.
- the length is such that it may be easily handled and readily placed in the armpit.
- the bottom flat side 36 and the triangular top 34 make it possible for the portion of the armpit defined by the upper torso to receive the flat bottom 36 and the upper arm to engage the triangular portion 34. This provides good gripping and contact such that the arm in its normal relaxed position will hold the electrode in place in the armpit and provide sufficient contact for the heartbeat signal to be picked up.
- the placing of the electrodes 14 and 16 in the armpits of the user presents many advantages. Specifically, the armpit area is warm and generally somewhat damp thus providing a very good area for transfer of weak electric signals. Additionally, there may be some type of salt or the equivalent present which would constitute an electrolyte and further enhance pick up of the signal. Further, the location of the electrodes in the armpits means that the electrodes will be in close proximity to the heart, thus a stronger signal should be received. It should also be noted that the stratum comeum on the armpit area is relatively thin thereby decreasing skin resistance. The type of flesh that the heartbeat signal passes through to reach the electrodes in the armpits presents less signal transmission difficulties than would be experienced in measuring heartbeat by signal take ofl' on the lower arms or legs.
- a method of monitoring the electrical activity of the heart of a human under one of a variety of conditions including self monitoring under emergency conditions by the use of a portable battery operated monitoring apparatus which includes a pair of electrode bodies having exterior surface means for enabling the bodies to be easily positioned in the armpits of the human to be monitored and to be conveniently and comfortably self-retained in such position solely by the human by engagement between the adjacent arm portions and torso in the armpit areas, said method comprising the steps of positioning said electrode bodies within the armpits of the human to be monitored and self-retaining the same therein solely by the human by engagement of the bodies between the adjacent arm portions and torso in the armpit areas, establishing a conductive circuit from a position spaced from said bodies which extends through said bodies to the exterior surface means thereof and between the latter through the torso of the human through which the electrical impulses within the torso of the human which trigger the heartbeats of the human are reliably conducted,
- a portable battery operated monitoring apparatus which includes a pair of electrode bodies having dry exterior surface means for enabling the bodies to be easily positioned in the armpits of the human to be monitored and to be conveniently and comfortably self-retained in such position solely by the human by engagement between the adjacent arm portions and torso in the armpit areas, said method comprising the steps of positioning said electrode bodies within the armpits of the human to be monitored in a dry condition and self-retaining the same therein solely by the human by engagement of the bodies between the adjacent arm portions and torso in the armpit areas,
- housing means for enabling the same to be easily and conveniently carried by a human operator
- said electrode bodies having exterior surface means for enabling said bodies to be easily positioned in the armpits of a human to be monitored and to be conveniently and comfortably self-retained in such position solely by the human by engagement between the adjacent arm portions and torso in the armpit areas,

- each of said electrode bodies is formed of electrically conductive material in a three dimensional configuration defining substantially the entire exterior surface means thereof for making electrical connection to the substantially enclosed skin surface areas of the human armpit when the upper arm is in its normal relaxed position substantially adjacent to the human body thus maximizing the area of electrical contact with the human armpit tissues.
- Apparatus for monitoring the electrical activity of the heart of a human under one of a variety of conditions including self-monitoring under emergency conditions comprising:
- housing means for enabling the same to be easily and conveniently carried by a human operator
- said electrode bodies having dry exterior surface means for enabling said bodies to be easily positioned in the armpits of a human to be monitored in a dry condition and to be conveniently and comfortably self-retained in such position solely by the human by engagement between the adjacent arm portions and torso in the armpit areas,
