Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of measuring the temperature of humans and animals.
  • the body temperature of humans is measured, when required from time to time, orally or rectally.
  • the first one relates to dressed babies (up to one year old) which are exposed to a chilly environment while sleeping.
  • the second situation relates to children under the influence of anaesthetic or children generally under the influence of sedatives or pain killing drugs or that suffer from some serious disease.
  • the third situation relates to children suffering from a serious brain damage.
  • the temperature regulating system of the child does not function. During the operation proper, the temperature may be monitored satisfactorily by continuously monitoring the body temperature rectally. Nonetheless, also these children will benefit from skin temperature monitorning, since impaired circulation caused by large blood losses or too superficial narcosis directly affect the circulation of the blood in the skin and thus the skin temperature of the child.
  • the present invention provides a method allowing simple yet at the same time reliable monitoring of the temperature of primarily unclothed and clothed children but obviously also of grown-ups and animals.
  • the characterizing features appear from the appended claim 1.
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of a device for implementation of the method in accordance with the invention
  • Fig. 2 is a situation view of a child equipped with the claimed device.
  • the device comprises the following basic components.
  • An attachment member e.g. a strip 1
  • the strip 1 is formed with fastening means 4a, 4b which may be in the form of a buckle or, as indicated in Fig. 1, a Velcro tape type of fastener.
  • the strip 1 supports a temperature sensor 5 which is in contact with the skin, preferably with the sole of the foot 2 of the child 3, and a transmitter 6 connected to the temperature sensor 5.
  • a battery 7 supplies the electric energy and allows the temperature sensor 5 to emit electrical signals corresponding to registered skin temperature values to the transmitter 6, the latter in turn arranged to emit wireless signals to the receiver 8 positioned at a distance from the transmitter 6.
  • the receiver is fitted with equipment already known per se and thus not illustrated for transformation of the signals received from the emitter, and also with a display 9 for digital display of the registered temperature values.
  • the receiver 8 is also equipped with alarms in the form of a warning lamp 10 and a buzzer 11 arranged to emit a light signal, such as an intermittent red light and a sound signal, respectively, to attract the attention of the person or persons concerned if or when the temperature sensor 5 registers a temperature outside the acceptable temperature range.
  • a button 12 the display may be shifted from showing the temperature in degrees Centigrade to degrees Fahrenheit, and vice versa.
  • the most important advantage of the method in accordance with the invention resides in the temperature being sensed by the temperature sensor 5 in direct contact with the skin, preferably a limb, and most preferably in contact with the sole of the foot. The reason is that it has been found out that monitoring of the skin temperature of the foot provides the earliest indication of incipient temperature deviations from the normal body temperature. This is true as regards unclothed as well as clothed children.
  • the method is advantageous also because of the wireless transmission of the measurement results to the receiver 8. This solution also obviates the practical problem of having to draw leads through the clothes from the temperature sensor 5 to the receiver 8.
  • the device in accordance with the invention informs the mother, should the measurement results indicate a drop in the child' s body temperature, by activating the alarms 10, 11 of the receiver 8, to alert the mother to the fact that the child may be uncovered and consequently his becoming cold.
  • the device may also be of life-saving importance when a rise or a drop in the body temperature is a sign of a condition of illness that need to be dealt with immediate attention.
  • the measurement results need not be transmitted to the receiver 8 in a continuous flow. Instead, prior-art electronics technology may be used to activate and inactivate the emitter 6 at predetermined intervals.
  • the electronic circuit disposed in the strip 1 may include a copule of electrodes 13.
  • the electrodes may be of a kind which closes the circuit upon their first contact with the skin as the strip is being applied on a part of the body. Owing to this arrangement the device assumes an active state only when in its sensing position. Also, the receiver 8 may normally be in an inactive state in order to save energy and be arranged to react only when the emitter 6 transmits signals.
  • attachment member 1 which could be constructed otherwise than shown and for instance be formed with other kinds of switches than the electrodes 13, and of the receiver 8, which could have another type of sound-emitting means than a buzzer 11 and for instance be fitted with a display 9 emitting an intermittent light as soon as a sensed temperature is found to deviate more than is acceptable.

Abstract

L'invention se rapporte à un procédé de mesure de la température corporelle. On effectue la mesure de température en appliquant un capteur électronique de température (5) sur la peau, de préférence sur le pied de l'être humain ou de l'animal concerné. Les résultats de mesure en provenance du capteur de température (5) sont transmis par une liaison sans fil à un récepteur (8) par l'intermédiaire d'un émetteur (6). Le récepteur est équipé d'un organe d'affichage (9) permettant l'affichage des résultats de mesure, et de dispositifs d'alarme (10, 11) permettant de signaler que la valeur mesurée est extérieure à une plage de températures préétablie.
