Abstract
A cardiac stress table employing a cycle type ergometer upon which a patient can be supported during exercise for scintillation camera scanning. The table includes means for adjusting the pedals of the ergometer both longitudinally of the table and vertically with respect to a seat for the patient. A back-supporting member is pivotally adjustable relative to the seat. Counterbalancing means is provided to facilitate lifting of the ergometer during vertical adjustment.
Claims5
An improved surgical table for supporting a patient for the development of cardiac stress while performing a cardiac scan, comprising:
- a horizontal base adapted to be supported upon a floor and having first and second ends;
- a platform supported in horizontal position adjacent one of said ends at a level substantially in the plane of said base element;
- a first support element extending upwardly from said base element medially of said ends;
- a generally planar back rest having a first end pivotally connected to said first support element, and having means for adjustably positioning the angular inclination thereof relative to the horizontal;
- a second support element extending upwardly from said base element and adjacent said first support element;
- a seat element positioned adjacent said first end of said back rest and supported in substantially horizontal position by said second support element;
- said second support element including first and second vertical members defining an interstice;
- and an ergometer support element including a horizontal beam adjustably supported for longitudinal and vertical movement relative to said base element in said interstice.
