Definitions

  • the invention relates to the novel application of such in vivo methods and apparatus to provide a new form of biomedical device for non-invasively monitoring oxidative metabolism in mammalian (e.g. human) subjects on an in vivo basis, a specific and preferred embodiment of which comprises means for so-monitoring regional oxygen saturation in the brain, and for providing a quantitative readout thereof in terms familiar to medical practitioners, i.e., percent oxygen saturation.
  • Spectrophotometry has, of course, long been used as a valuable investigative tool in various scientific fields, particularly biological and medical research, and various applications of the underlying principles utilizing selected wavelengths of light in the near infrared range (often referred to as N.I.R. spectrophotometry) have for quite some time been utilized for certain in vivo procedures and/or investigation on human beings.
  • N.I.R. spectrophotometry spectrophotometry
  • a frequently-encountered such device is the pulse oximeter conventionally used in hospitals and other medical facilities to provide a direct indication of arterial oxygen saturation by means of a clip or the like which fastens to an appendage such as the ear or finger of the patient.
  • the apparatus and methodology in accordance with the invention includes the provision of a convenient and readily-usable sensor which may for example be used in a number of different locations, and/or moved from one location to another, for compara ⁇ tive consideration of the regions selectively accessed and examined, whether cranial or otherwise.
  • the cerebral oximeter in accordance with the invention examines, and measures, blood oxygen saturation (and thus, oxidative metabolism) in the entire array of blood vessels present in the cranial region being monitored, which in the brain may generally be considered as comprising (by volume) approximately 75 percent venous, 20 percent arterial, and 5 percent capillary.
  • the cerebral oximeter provided in accordance with the invention addresses not only oxygen delivery via hemoglobin molecules moved arterially, but in addition addresses the general, overall state of cerebral oxygen consumption, which is of course directly related to brain vitality and state, and indicative of continued viability.
  • the invention provides such information on an instantaneous real-time basis, and as a result provides critical immediate information capable of clearly and quantitatively indicating the need for urgent measures to provide increased or decreased cerebral oxygen supply or consumption (metabolic activity) , momentary responses to which may well prevent serious neurological or other trauma or injury.
  • Fig. 2 is a further pictorial schematic representa ⁇ tion somewhat similar to Fig. 1 showing additional aspects of the subject matter disclosed;
  • Fig. 4 is a pictorial side view representation of a different form of optical sensor, of a more preferred nature;
  • Fig. 5 is a schematic representation depicting the regional examination of the head and brain in accordance with the invention;
  • Fig. 9 is a graphical representation showing cerebral vascular oxygenation activity contrasted with extracerebral oxygenation of the scalp and skull, as measured by the near and far detectors provided in the sensor assembly utilized by the invention.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 pictorially and schematically show the overall or general application of the apparatus and methodology of the invention to the human cerebrum.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 show a human subject 10 upon whom apparatus in accordance with the invention is being utilized, such apparatus comprising a sensor means 12 for applying and receiving selected light spectra to a particular region 14 of the brain through or via conductors 16 (which, as subsequently noted, may be electrical or optical in nature) , from or in conjunction with an infrared spectrophotometry unit 18 which includes in part a small digital computer 20 having a monitor 22 on which various forms of readout information may be presented.
  • a sensor means 12 for applying and receiving selected light spectra to a particular region 14 of the brain through or via conductors 16 (which, as subsequently noted, may be electrical or optical in nature)
  • an infrared spectrophotometry unit 18 which includes in part a small digital computer 20 having a monitor 22 on which various forms of readout information may be presented.
  • the sensor assembly 12 applies selected light wavelengths which may emanate from a broadband source 24 (e.g., an incandescent lamp) and be selectively determined by narrow-bandwidth ( onochromatico) filters 26, although as subsequently noted a preferred embodiment utilizes dedicated light-emitting diodes ("L.E.D.s") which produce the selected light spectra, and the computer 20 generally includes an A/D converter section 28, control circuitry 30 (depicted as a circuit board configured to mount in the expansion slots of computer 20) , together with requisite computer memory 32 and an operator control in the form of a keyboard 34.
  • a broadband source 24 e.g., an incandescent lamp
  • narrow-bandwidth filters 26 narrow-bandwidth filters 26
  • L.E.D.s dedicated light-emitting diodes
  • the near receiver (40, 140) is close to but spaced a particular distance from the source (38, 138) so that the photons (light energy) which it detects in response to the emission of selected light spectra by the source will traverse primarily only the skin (scalp) and bone (skull) of the subject 10, whereas the "far" receiver (42, 142) is disposed a particular further distance from the source whereby the light energy (photons) which it receives samples a deeper tissue volume comprising primarily brain tissue.

  • This chart thus shows transit of the tracer through the cerebral vasculature; that is, selective introduction of the tracer in the internal carotid artery results in initial presence thereof only in the deep tissue; thus, ipsilateral spectroscopic measurements made in accordance with the invention show (bottom trace) relatively immediate detection of the tracer at the "far" receiver monitoring the deeper brain tissue, without any attendant indication at the "near” receiver (upper trace) which monitors superficial tissue, etc., until substantially later, after the tracer has recirculated through the heart and entered the external carotid system, at approximately fifty seconds after the initial introduction of the tracer.
  • the far receiver also shows recircula- tion of the bolus at this second point in time, as well as graphically displaying the declining persistence of the tracer within the deep tissue over this interval.
  • cerebral venous oxygen saturation should constitute an excellent indicator of the adequacy of cerebral oxygen delivery and/or cerebral oxygen extraction, and thus of brain vitality as a general matter. That is, cerebral oxygen extraction causes rapid changes in cerebral venous oxygen saturation when cerebral oxygen delivery decreases for any reason, as for example the presence of systemic hypoxia, cerebral oligemia, systemic anemia, etc. , even though cerebral oxygen consumption may remain normal.
  • the very advantageous results obtained through the spatial resolution techniques noted providing for specific and independent monitoring of information from deep vascular beds or tissue, provides for desirable organ-specific or area-specific determina ⁇ tions made well below the skin.

Abstract

Oxymètre cérébral destiné à être utilisé avec un capteur (12) appuyé sur le front d'un patient, ou une autre zone cranienne sélectionnée, émettant des longueurs d'ondes sélectionnées de rayonnement électromagnétique (par exemple, de la lumière de la plage de l'infrarouge) passant à travers un volume sélectionné de tissu du cerveau, à l'intérieur du crâne du patient. Les longueurs d'ondes émises sont sélectivement absorbées par le sang se trouvant à l'intérieur du tissu du cerveau irradié, présent dans l'apport artériel, véneux, capilaire et/ou autre, et le rayonnement résultant est détecté puis analysé par un ordinateur (20) afin de déterminer la saturation en oxygène de l'hémoglobine de l'apport de sang composite dans le volume sélectionné de tissu du cerveau, avec un affichage se présentant sous la forme d'une valeur particulière quantifiée (par exemple, un nombre représentant la valeur instantanée mesurée), et/ou également dans un affichage graphique ou temporel, par exemple sur le moniteur à écran cathodique (22) de l'ordinateur, les valeurs numériques étant stockées à des fins d'enregistrement ou d'utilisation ultérieure.
