Abstract
ABSTRACT:
A keyboard for a physiological measuring system, comprising a group of location indication buttons which are arranged on an image of, for example, the heart at locations which correspond to foasible measuring positions. Furthermore, there are preferably provided a number of selection buttons, each of which can have a location indication button associated therewith. This is made visible by means of signal lamps which are arranged adjacent each location indication button.

Description
~LC~Ç~3LO 3 The invention relates to a keyboard for a ~-physiological measuring system provided with a data processing device, comprising a number of groups of buttons for the input of commands and data, including a group of location ~' indication buttons for the input of the position of an examination point in the physiological system ~measur;ng position). ~ ;
Physiological measuring systems of this kind are often used in combination with a catheter or an other probe which is introduced into the body, for example, for examining kidneys, the stomach, bronchial tubes, b'lood circulation etc.
An example thereof is a catherization system described in "Measuring for Medlcine and the 'life sciences", Vol. 6, No. l (May 1971), pages 1 - 6. The keyboard associated with this system comprises a group of buttons for the input of numerical data, a group for the input of functions, and a '~
pressure measuring group comprising location indication ~ ~
buttons. The latter group comprises buttons whereby it is ~ ;
possible to indicate the location where the blood pressure is 'measured by means of a catheter. These locations are denoted by means of symbols, for example, RA for right atrium, LV ' for left ventricle, etc.
If a large number of feasible measuring locations is to be taken into account, a large number of such buttons ~
is required, so that the risk of incorrect selection af a ~ -button increases and so that this choice requires a comparatively large amount of attention. Moreover, it is difficult to find meaningful and directly understandable ,~

symbols for the buttons if a number of different feasible measuring locations in one space of the heart or in a blood vessel are to be indicated.
The invention has for its obiect to provide a keyboard whereby these problems are eliminated and on ~hich a very large number of location indication buttons can be present, whilst the desired location indication button can still be found in one glance. To this end, the keyboard according to the invention is characteri~ed in that the group of location indication buttons is provided on a surface on which an image of at least a part of the ~ `
physiological system is depicted, at least a part of the ~ , location indication buttons being situated at locations of the image which correspond to feasible measuring positions.
A major advantage thereof is that the operator using the keyboard is fully acquainted with this kind of image.
In many cases a comparatively small number of measuring locations is to be selected from the large number of feasible measuring locations for use in a given examination for example, pressure measurement.
In order to enable this selection, a preferred embodiment of the keyboard according to the invention is characterized in that a number of selection buttons is ~ ;
provided, each of which can temporarily have a location indication button associated therewith, whilst at the area of each location indication button signalling means are provided to indicate the selection button with which the location indication button is associated.
The invention will be described in detail here~

inafter with reference to the drawing which shows an embodi- ;
ment intended for use in a heart catheterization system. The keyboard comprises a group of function buttons 1, a group of digit buttons 3, a group of location indication buttons 5, a number of special buttons 7, a number of indication lamps 9, and a digital indicator 11. The various buttons may, of course, be conventional push-buttons, but also more modern, for example, capacitively or optically operated switching elements.
The function buttons 1 serve to give commands to the heart catheterization system (not shown) for which the keyboard is `~
intended. These commands may concern, for example, the measuring of pressures, velocities, oxygen concentrations etc., and also the calculation of given physiological quantities from the measured values. The digit buttons 3 serve for the input of numerical data.
The location indication buttons 5 serve for the input of a measuring position, l.e. for the position occupied `~
by a detector of a catheter introduced into the vascular system of a patient. They are provided on a surface 13 on which a diagrammatic drawing 15 of the heart and the main ;
blood vessels opening into the heart is provided. At any location of the image corresponding to a feasible measuring position, a location indication button 5 is provided. A `
feasible measuring position is a position in which the operator assumedly would like to perform a measurement in relevant cases. In order to enable measurements to be made at a different location or at a location which is not exactly known, a location indication button 17 is also arranged out-side the image 15. If desired, more of such additional .. ... .
PHN 763l 3 ~6~1~3 ~.,, buttons can be provided, and images of other parts of the circulatory system can be depicted on the surface 13. The -~
indication of the location where a detector is situated is simply effected by depressing the relevant location indication button 5, after which a measurement can be performed at this -location by depressing the relevant function button l; for example, a measurement of the oxygen concentration is performed by depressing the function button marked 2 ;
It often occurs that at a number of locations, for example, blood pressure must be regularly measured. It is then possible to depress the relevant location indication button and function button each time, but it is easier and saFer (less rlsk of errors) if each time only one button need be depressed~ To this end, three select;on buttons 19.
marked Pl, P2 and P3, are provided for the function "blood pressure measurement". For example, when selection button Pl -and one of the location indication buttons 5 are depressed, ~;
the relevant location indication button is assigned to the button Pl. The said location indication is then assigned to the next measurement. In order to make it possible to see in ;` ;
one glance which location indication buttons 5 are assigned to which selection buttons 19, signalling means are provided in the form of a row of three signal lamps 21 adjacent each location indication button. If a location indication button .
is assigned to the selection button Pl, the upper lamp 21 ad-jacent the said location indication button lights up; for selection button P2 the central lamp lights up, whilst for P3 the lower lamp lights uip. The number of selection buttons and the number of signal lamps can be adapted as desired.
Instead oF signal lamps 21, other signalling means such as luminescing digits can alternatively be used.
