Claims (12)
- 治療者の頤部に導子を当て、この導子から前記治療者の頤部に電気パルスを通電して刺激を与える無呼吸防止刺激装置において、
前記刺激信号の出力を開始させる第1の操作手段と、
前記第1の操作手段の操作により、刺激信号の出力開始が指示されると、前記複数の電気パルスからなる電気パルス群が発生する通電期間と、前記電気パルス群が発生しない休止期間とを一定時間繰り返すような無呼吸状態に同期しない前記刺激信号を、前記導子に出力する刺激発生手段を備え、
さらに前記刺激発生手段は、前記刺激信号の出力開始直後は前記電気パルスの振幅が小さく、その後時間が経過して前記治療者が睡眠状態に陥るに従って、前記電気パルスの振幅が増大するように、前記出力開始から第1の時間幅が経過するまでの間、前記電気パルスの振幅が徐々に増加する前記刺激信号を出力する構成を有し、
前記刺激発生手段は、前記第1の時間幅中に前記電気パルスの振幅を増加させる割合が、時間と共に増加するような前記刺激信号を出力するものであることを特徴とする無呼吸防止刺激装置。 - 前記電気パルスの振幅を可変する第2の操作手段を備えたことを特徴とする請求項1記載の無呼吸防止刺激装置。
- 前記通電期間を可変する第3の操作手段を備えたことを特徴とする請求項1または2記載の無呼吸防止刺激装置。
- 前記休止期間を可変する第4の操作手段を備えたことを特徴とする請求項1〜3のいずれか一つに記載の無呼吸防止刺激装置。
- 前記刺激信号の出力を停止させる第5の操作手段を備えたことを特徴とする請求項1〜4のいずれか一つに記載の無呼吸防止刺激装置。
- 前記第1の時間幅を可変する第6の操作手段を備えたことを特徴とする請求項1〜5のいずれか一つに記載の無呼吸防止刺激装置。
- 前記刺激発生手段は、前記電気パルス群の出力期間中に、この電気パルス群を構成する複数の電気パルスの時間幅を可変した刺激信号を出力するものであることを特徴とする請求項1〜6のいずれか一つに記載の無呼吸防止刺激装置。
- 前記刺激発生手段は、前記通電期間において第2の時間幅を有する前記電気パルス群を正負交互に発生させると共に、前記電気パルス群の立上がりから前記第2の時間幅の半分が経過するまでは、個々の電気パルスの時間幅を徐々に広げ、その後前記電気パルス群の立下がりに近づくに従って、個々の電気パルスの時間幅を徐々に狭める刺激信号を出力するものであることを特徴とする請求項7記載の無呼吸防止刺激装置。
- 前記刺激発生手段は、前記電気パルス群の出力期間中に、この電気パルス群を構成する複数の電気パルスの密度を可変した刺激信号を出力するものであることを特徴とする請求項1〜6のいずれか一つに記載の無呼吸防止刺激装置。
- 前記刺激発生手段は、前記通電期間において第2の時間幅を有する前記電気パルス群を正負交互に発生させると共に、前記電気パルス群の立上がりから前記第2の時間幅の半分が経過するまでは、電気パルスの密度が徐々に高くなり、その後前記電気パルス群の立下がりに近づくに従って、電気パルスの密度が徐々に低くなる刺激信号を出力するものであることを特徴とする請求項9記載の無呼吸防止刺激装置。
- 前記導子は、前記刺激信号が印加される一対の電極と、前記電極を保持し前記治療者の頤部に着脱可能な粘着性のシート部材とからなることを特徴とする請求項1〜10のいずれか一つに記載の無呼吸防止刺激装置。
- 前記治療者の頤部の前後方向に前記一対の電極が並設されるように、前記シート部材が該電極を配置したことを特徴とする請求項11記載の無呼吸防止刺激装置。
