Device for monitoring hydrocephalus and encephaledema

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for monitoring hydrocephalus and encephaledema. The device comprises a signal encoding generator, an emitting electrode, a receiving electrode, a signal processing digital converter, an orthogonality regulator, a detector, a parameter evaluator, an impedance analysis instrument and an evaluation instrument. After passing through the human brain, electromagnetic waves change, by comparing attenuation coefficients, relative phase shifts, spreading time differences and complex wave values K of the electromagnetic waves before and after the electromagnetic waves enter the human brain, the specific conditions of the hydrocephalus and encephaledema be can evaluated, the method is different from the traditional invasion detection method, the device can be used for realizing 24-hour monitoring, so that the medical safety in treatment of hydrocephalus and encephaledema is obviously improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a medical device, in particular to a medical device for monitoring hydrocephalus. Background technique [0002] A condition known as hydrocephalus is the excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain cavities, or ventricles. Under normal circumstances, cerebrospinal fluid is vital to the functioning of the brain. Transports nutrients and waste from the brain and creates a protective cushion of fluid. But an excessive buildup of cerebrospinal fluid puts disproportionate pressure on the brain and can lead to brain cell and tissue damage. Thus, medical conditions directly interrupt the absorption of CSF into the normal flow of blood and create CSF excess, which eventually leads to hydrocephalus. [0003] The potential and classification of hydrocephalus to affect people of all ages can be divided into two broad categories: congenital hydrocephalus and acquired hydrocephalus. Congenital hydrocephalus is the r...
