PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cauterization condition notification device which permits the cauterization condition of an affected region to be easily and reliably ascertained in a myocardial ablation therapy.SOLUTION: The cauterization condition notification device includes: a biological impedance acquisition section 320 acquiring the value of biological impedance between an electrode catheter 120 and a counter electrode plate 140 during energization between the electrode catheter 120 brought into contact with the myocardium and the counter electrode plate 140 pasted to a body surface a notification sound output control section 340 outputting a control signal varying a notification sound in accordance with the change of the biological impedance acquired by the biological impedance acquisition section 320 and a notification sound output section 290 outputting the notification sound on the basis of the control signal from the notification sound output control section 340. Consequently, the cauterization condition notification device permits the cauterization condition of the affected region to be intuitively obtained only by hearing the notification sound. The notification device, therefore, permits the cauterization condition of the affected region to be easily and reliably ascertained.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】心筋アブレーション治療に際して、患部の焼灼状態を容易かつ確実に判断することが可能な焼灼状態通知装置を提供する。【解決手段】心筋に接触された電極カテーテル120と体表面に貼付された対極板140間の通電時に、電極カテーテル120と対極板140間の生体インピーダンスの値を取得する生体インピーダンス取得部320と、生体インピーダンス取得部320により取得された生体インピーダンスの変化に応じて通知音を変化させる制御信号を出力する通知音出力制御部340と、通知音出力制御部340からの制御信号に基づいて通知音を出力する通知音出力部290とを備えている。これにより、通知音を聞くだけで患部の焼灼状態を直感的に把握できる。それゆえ、患部の焼灼状態を容易かつ確実に判断することができる。【選択図】図1
