Abstract

Process and devices are proposed whereby the oxygen partial pressure in a person's blood is increased by briefly supplying them with pure oxygen or air containing a higher oxygen content than ordinary ambient air, during inspiration i.e. breathing in. The oxygen partial pressure is measured and the person is subjected before, during and/or after measurement to a physical and/or mental test and/or stress. Various embodiments for corresponding devices, for a cabin, for oxygen masks and for skill-testing equipment are also proposed.

Description

 METHOD FOR ESTABLISHING WELL-BEING CONDITIONS USING OXYGEN

field of use

The invention relates to a method for bringing about short-term conditions of increased physical and mental well-being and increased physical and mental willingness to perform in perfectly healthy people using pure oxygen or air with air that is normal compared to normal ambient air high oxygen content and on devices for this. These can be used wherever healthy people are to be given a state of increased well-being and where entertainment and / or physical exercise of the people is to be carried out. The preferred area of use corresponds on the one hand to the area of use of gaming and entertainment machines and, on the other hand, is the area of the acting shop. The new method can be used in particular where people use test facilities to check their physical and mental performance, primarily for entertainment, but also with the aim of physical exercise, which at the same time leads to an increase in the attractiveness of the known test facilities .

State of the art

It is known that after a phase of intensive oxygen uptake in humans the so-called hyperventi lat ion, ie a deepening of breathing, occurs, whereby a better supply of blood and tissue with oxygen is achieved. Experiments have shown that the slight hyperventilation lasts for about 30 minutes for a dream (individually very different). This results in an increase in the blood oxygen particle pressure by approximately 5 mm Hg. The reasons for this effect are controversial, the following assumptions being made, among other things: 1) After changing from short-term inspiration to pure oxygen, the patient has or of air with an increased oxygen content compared to normal ambient air for breathing normal ambient air, the (sometimes unconscious) idea that he now has to breathe more air by which air is inspired by pure oxygen or air compared to normal ambient air increased oxygen content achieved to be able to maintain favorable oxygen supply to his body. 2) A regulation process in the respiratory center of the brain may cause an approximately half-hour change in the type of breathing. 3) A bioenergetic switching mechanism of the microcirculation may be triggered in the lungs and other body tissues, ie there is a control process with positive feedback (switching process) for the blood circulation.

Oxygen measurement therapy (= SMT) is also known, the aim of which is to permanently improve the oxygen levels in the arteries, veins and body tissues of those persons for months to years whose oxygen values are not within the medically recognized norm are located. (Report on the SMT in the journal for medical practice "empirical medicine", volume 2, year 1984 No. 267 A, pages 53-77). The normal oxygen multi-step regeneration process takes 36 hours with the supply of approx. 4 l oxygen per minute (pages 72 + 74 in the above-mentioned journal). In order to achieve permanent improvements in oxygen levels, in some cases - instead of completing a 36-hour SMT regeneration process - according to Prof. on Ardenne, an at least 15-minute inspiration of pure oxygen in combination with simultaneous exposure and Sufficient medication is sufficient (p.68-72 of the above magazine).

A method for bringing about short-term states of increased well-being has also already been proposed, in which the application of pure air is provided (FR-PS 26 01 878).

In the context of entertainment and popular amusement, a large number of methods and devices have already become known in which people are given the opportunity to check their mental or physical performance under normal or under changed environmental conditions. Here, however, the oxygen content in the blood of the person has been used for test or influencing purposes.

People are their oxygen levels ^si ch within the norm, be - considered healthy - and rightly so. The necessity of treatment with SMT is therefore not seen for these people. So far, the possibility of using acid inhalation in healthy people for the purpose of amusement has been overlooked. To date, it has not been recognized that the effect triggered immediately by the brief inhalation of pure oxygen for bringing about briefly bs to about 30 minutes (depending on the duration of inspiration of pure oxygen or of air with increased compared to the ambient air Oxygen content, in the latter case also the level of oxygen content is important) permanent states of physical and mental well-being, namely bringing about a feeling of vitality, feeling of readiness to act and feeling and actual state of physical and mental performance as well Reduction of thoughts of stress, can be used. These short-term conditions can be used primarily by the acting industry.

It is also known that when inspiring pure 02 or air with an increased 02 fraction and simultaneous loading, the oxygen part pressure value (= p02) - after switching to room air ventilation - moves back more slowly to the p02 starting value before inspiration than with inspiration without stress. The sluggish return of p02 during the recovery phase (after exertion and simultaneous inspiration) and the remaining final difference between the initial value before inspiration and the value at the end of the recovery phase can be attributed to lactic acidosis. In the recovery phase, it requires at least one alveolar hyperventilation up to the 10th minute, which was absent before the inspiration with exercise. The ventilation of excess acid (carbonic acid) is reflected in arterial hyperoxemia, in the time until the restoring of the resting acid Base equilibrium. How long it takes for compensatory hyperventilation and hyperoxemia to stop depends on the severity and the duration of the previous exposure (p. 220 of the publication "Oxygen partial pressure measurements in healthy lungs and bronchicians" Pneumonology log. Suppl. 217-227 ).

The aim of oxygen therapy (mostly oxygen multi-step therapy) was to free people who suffer from certain diseases or ailments, so far the possibility has been overlooked of being completely healthy with perfectly normal blood oxygen levels through short-term inspiration from pure 02 or from Air with an increased 02 percentage to create an increased well-being.

It is also known that the improvement in the arterial and venous oxygen value after inspiration of pure oxygen or air with increased oxygen content takes place the faster the lower the initial value of the arterial oxygen part or the lower the lower the initial value of the venous pressure Oxygen part is usually before inspiration, even though it is still within the normal medical range, which is considered to be healthy. However, knowledge of the initial value alone is not sufficient to be able to determine the well-being required for a certain period of time (ie the period during which the arterial oxygen partial pressure remains above the initial value after inspiration). This is because the necessary inspection time for people is involved same initial value can be different. For example, in two people with the same low initial value of the arterial oxygen partial pressure - which is still within the medically recognized standard - the required inspiration time differs when the initial value is physiological (ie age-related or from another person) for one person Is normal due to physical constitution) and is caused by the other person due to negative influences in the past (e.g. Stressori see influences, illnesses gone through etc.). The latter person needs a shorter inspiration time.

With regard to the measurement of the oxygen partial pressure and the application of oxygen to persons, a wide variety of methods and devices are available, namely devices for the transcutaneous determination of the (arterial or venous) oxygen partial pressure (= p02), the same devices enable convenient, completely painless and bloodless detection of the p02, and various 02 sources (e.g. 02 bottle, zeolite device, membrane filter device, 02 concentrator) and devices required for 02 application (e.g. 02 masks or glasses) and other nasal or oral applicators). The inspiration of pure oxygen does the following:

Inhalation of pure 02 for 40 seconds produces a Pa02 of around 500 mm Hg on healthy blood. After 90 seconds the Pa02 has increased by about 50 mm Hg. If you increase the inspiration from pure 02 to 2 minutes, the Pa02 slowly approaches the final value, which scatters by 600 mm Hg. The initial value of Pa02 at rest is approx. 75-100 mm Hg. (P02 = oxygen part ia pressure, Pa02 = arterial pressure of oxygen). Task, solution, advantages

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a method and a device which make it possible for a healthy person to briefly put themselves in a state of increased mental and physical well-being in which there is an increased mental and physical willingness to perform. Furthermore, it should be made possible for this person to gain knowledge of the degree and influence of this increase in willingness to perform. Methods and devices should be used primarily in the area of entertainment, physical exercise and popular amusement.

To solve this problem, a method for bringing about short-term conditions of increased physical and mental well-being and increased physical and mental performance in healthy people using pure oxygen or air with an increased oxygen content compared to normal ambient air is proposed, whereby a person for a significant increase in the oxygen partial pressure in the blood for a short time pure oxygen or air with oxygen content increased for inspiration, ie for inhalation.

It is provided that after a supply of pure oxygen or air with an increased oxygen content for a period of preferred time up to 2-3 minutes - exceptionally (especially when inspi ration of air with only slightly increased oxygen content compared to the ambient air) l) up to 15 minutes - the short-term (Approx. 20-30 minutes lasting) effectiveness of an effect is brought about, which after switching to breathing normal room air in healthy people (ie in people who are perfectly healthy and whose blood oxygen values are to be regarded as completely normal according to the general medical opinion) More intensive breathing (slight hypervenilation) for up to 30 minutes (very different from individual to individual) and thus an increased blood oxygen level. Experiments have shown this. This results in a correspondingly long lasting state of increased physical and mental well-being.

Pure oxygen or air with an increased (ie over 21% of the air volume) oxygen content is supplied, either by means of commercially available devices (for example oxygen bottles, pressure reducers, flow meters, supply hoses and oxygen masks) or by inhalation in a hermetically sealed room, the oxygen content of which is increased - ie is more than 21 percent by volume. The oxygen fraction can be 22% to 100%.

The necessary inhalation time increases proportionally in relation to the oxygen content of the air in order to achieve a short-term (approx. Up to 30 minutes) state of increased physical and mental well-being

However, the experiments also showed that the effect of the above rapid process sets in more quickly and lasts longer if the initial oxygen values before the experiments (inspirations) are relatively poor (ie at the lower limit of the medically approved known norm for healthy people). In such cases, the short-term effect of the rapid process can be triggered after just a few seconds of inspiration or after an inspiration time which is less than 2 minutes.

The duration of work with such short inspiration times varies greatly from person to person. (That is, the time which elapses until the oxygen starting value is reached again before inspiration can be from a few minutes to about 20 minutes). Generally valid information about the duration of very short-term inspections could only show extensive and complex investigations on many test persons.

Embodiment of the invention

For the method, it is preferably provided that the oxygen substance pressure in the blood of the person is determined by means of the measurement process known per se of the transcutaneous measurement of the oxygen substance pressure (p02 value) of the blood. It can preferably be provided that the inspection is carried out and at the same time the oxygen partial pressure value of the person is measured and the inspiration automatically ends when a predetermined value of an oxygen partial pressure is reached and, if necessary, when a predetermined lower value is reached Value is started again.

The response of the oxygen partial pressure (arterial and venous) to the inspiration is certainly only possible by continuously measuring the same during the initial period of the inspiration. This is practical continuous measurement only possible with the bloodless transcutaneous measurement method. In the case of a strong response (ie rapid improvement in the arterial (or venous) oxygen partial pressure), the total inspiration time required to achieve a certain period of time of a state of increased well-being is correspondingly shorter than in the case of a response which is not as strong. The required inspiration times can differ considerably from one another - even in the case of the same initial values before inspiration.

It is therefore necessary to control and monitor the inspiration time. This has the following advantages:

1) Precise coordination of the inspiration time to the response to inspiration, unnecessary long inspiration times - and thus unnecessarily long annoyance of the inspiring person - being avoided;

2) avoidance of ineffective inspirations due to a very poor response to the inspiration; (If the improved oxygen value drops unexpectedly quickly after inspiration, subsequent inspiration is also possible);

3) more economical approach to inspiration, ie the costly supply of oxygen need only take place as long as it is necessary for the desired goal (certain period of increased well-being after the inspiration). The following steps are provided according to the invention:

1) Continuous bloodless, transcutaneous measurement of the arte¬ rial (and if necessary also the venous) oxygen part or pressure or a mixed p02 before and during the test inspiration, which (within 1 minute) due to transcutaneous measurement of the change in Oxygen pressure (= p02) the required inspiration time can be determined for a certain period of increased well-being.

According to the measurement result of the method mentioned under 1):

2) Inspiration of pure oxygen for periods from 20 seconds to 15 minutes or

3) Inspection of air with increased oxygen content for periods of 1-20 minutes.

It can also be provided that the inspection takes place with simultaneous loading of the perfectly healthy inspecting person, it being advantageously provided that the loading by a loading device such as a bicycle ergometer or the like. or by simply providing the inspecting person with power, such as climbing stairs or the like. he follows.

Although an increased well-being can also be achieved by simply inspecting pure oxygen or air with an increased oxygen content, this effect is intensified with simultaneous exposure. Ie longer maintenance of the increased blood oxygen level. For a commercial application, in particular in the entertainment area and in the fairground trade, it is provided that

a) the current oxygen pressure value is determined transcutaneously prior to loading or provision of a maximum force of whatever type;

b) the current blood pressure value of the person before exercise is determined by means of a blood pressure measuring device known per se, in order to be able to take into account the damping effect occurring during the transcutaneous measurement,

c) a loading process or an attempt to achieve maximum strength is carried out,

d) a short test is carried out with transcutaneous measurement of the change in p02,

e) a calculation of the necessary inspiration until a predetermined arterial or venous oxygen pressure value or a given mixed p02 is carried out, with which a significantly higher performance (ie either higher resilience and / or achievement of a higher one) is carried out Maximum force) can be achieved, taking into account the determination of the inspiration duration: a) oxygen part pressure (= p02) (arterial or venous joint p02) before the load or the achievement of the maximum force, b) p02 after a very short test inspiration of pure oxygen or of air with air that is higher than the ambient air Oxygen fraction (a few seconds to 1 minute), c) concentration (ie volume percentage fraction) of the oxygen supplied, d) blood pressure and e) power provided prior to the inspiration by stress or by achieving a maximum force,

f) a renewed loading or attempt of a maximum power of whatever type is carried out, and

g) a calculation of the increase in the load capacity or maximum power is carried out.

It is preferably provided that the load or the attempt to achieve a maximum force as a measurement of physical or mental performance is carried out on a force measuring device, a load measuring device, a reaction test device or a skill device in a known manner.

Many attractions are used in the scam el le rbe, which evoke physical wellbeing in their own way, e.g. various types of carousels, which, among other things, result from the exciting journey and sometimes also from additional physical exertion (e.g. turning gondolas) among other things increase blood circulation. The actuation of "house-Lukas" devices and various other force measuring devices also has the result of better blood circulation due to the physical exertion. The pure inspection experience (without the use of any devices) makes it possible, even for those attending the fair, who are not interested in the operation of the aforementioned force measuring devices and in trips in the aforementioned carousels - thus especially for older people - to achieve a short-term state of increased physical and mental well-being.

Application examples for the process according to the invention can be seen from the examples below:

Example of use:

A 40-year-old man has (for example) an arte¬ rial oxygen parte a pressure of 83 mm Hg (standard is 75 to 100 mm Hg). He decides to visit a show attraction where he is offered increased well-being through inhalation of oxygen. He then inhales - either using commercially available devices (eg oxygen bottle, pressure reducer, flow meter, oxygen supply line and mask) or in a hermetically sealed room filled with pure oxygen - approx. 2-3 minutes long pure (at least 99%) oxygen. Alternatively, air can be inhaled with an increased oxygen content. In the case of inhalation of air with less than 99% oxygen content - either using the above-mentioned commercially available devices or in a hermetically sealed room with an increased oxygen content - the inhalation time must be increased in proportion to the oxygen content of the air. After completing inhalation, the 40-year-old now has an arterial oxygen part ia id pressure of 590 mm Hg. The improved oxygen level helps him through the more intensive breathing initiated after switching to breathing in normal ambient air, which - after the return of the p02 increased to 590 mm Hg -Values within approx. 2 minutes to almost the initial value of 83 mm Hg (namely up to 88 mm Hg) - caused a p02 improved by approx. 5 mm Hg for approx. 30 minutes, to a short-term state of increased well-being. (Duration varies greatly from person to person. After an individually different period of time (approx. Up to 30 minutes), the oxygen part ia Idruc k gradually returns completely to the initial value of 83 mm Hg and the positive effects on well-being gradually diminish .

Oxygen bottles, zeolite and membrane filter devices, 02 concentrate raters and other devices can be used for oxygen application. Oxygen masks or glasses or similar application devices can also be used.

Example of use:

A 40-year-old man has an arterial oxygen partial pressure (Pa02) (initial value) before inspiration of 80 mm Hg (= low value for a 40-year-old, but still within the medically recognized _^ standard of approx. 75-100 mm Hg). After 35 seconds of inspiration from pure oxygen, a value of 498 mm Hg results, so that there is a strong response to the inspiration. Therefore, the inspiration can be canceled (after 35 seconds). 15 minutes after inspiration there is still a value of 86 mm Hg and the initial value is reached after 25 minutes. With inspiration longer than 35 seconds, a significantly higher Pa02 would not have been achieved. The effect of more intensive breathing would already be exerted after switching to breathing normal ambient air. A further increase in Pa02 is not necessary and would only be achieved very slowly. The initial value of 80 mm Hg is reached after about 30 minutes.

3. Application example:

A 58-year-old man also has an arterial oxygen particle pressure (initial value) before inspiration of 80 mm Hg, which is roughly physiological because of its age.

After 40 seconds of inspiration from pure oxygen, the result is only 445 mm Hg. Based on experience, this means that approx. 55 seconds of pure 02 must be inspired to achieve a p02 value of 500 mm Hg, which has a more intense effect Breathing after switching to breathing in normal ambient air is already reliably brought about.

Result from Examples 2 + 3:

In the case of achieving a state of increased well-being lasting 30 minutes, only a 35-second inspiration of pure oxygen is required for case 2, while an inspiration of 55 seconds is required in case 3.

In view of the very strong individual differences in the response to the inspiration, the use of this method appears to be urgently required.

4. Application example:

A 40-year-old man has an arterial oxygen partial pressure (Pa02) of 91 mm Hg (standard is 75 to 100 mm Hg). He decides to visit a showman attraction, where he is offered increased well-being through the inhalation of pure 02 with simultaneous exposure to bicycle drivers.

(Definition: oxygen part generally pressure = p02, arterial oxygen partial pressure = Pa02). He then inhales pure 02 for about 1 minute and at the same time actuates a bicycle ergometer set to a load of 100 watts. (Alternatively, he could have inspected for 90 seconds at a load of 75 watts, for example). Immediately after completing inhalation, the 40-year-old has a Pa02 of 520 mm Hg. After 10 minutes, he still has a Pa02 of 105 mm Hg (ie 14 mm Hg above the initial value). After half an hour, the Pa02 is still 10 mm Hg above the Pa02 starting value of 91 mm Hg. The improved oxygen value helps it to at least half an hour of increased well-being. Example of use:

Subject is a 25-year-old man with the following starting values before exertion: Arterial oxygen part oil pressure (= Pa02) of 81 mm Hg ^ low value for a 25-year-old man, caused e.g. due to strong stress). Blood pressure: Systolic 125 mm Hg (= normotonia). Pa02 after 40 seconds of test inspiration from pure 02: 520 mm Hg (= shows strong response); Power before inspiration: 60 kp (= here assumed to be a relatively poor performance since the best performance is 100 kp). Enter the values in the computer unit as follows:

a) initial value of 81 mm Hg Pa02: from transcutaneous measuring device automatically after determination of the value,

b) blood pressure: automatic from electronic blood pressure measuring device,

c) Pa02 after test inspiration before the power is provided: after the specified test inspiration time (in this case 40 seconds), the time-controlled pulse stops the supply of pure 02 and at the same time causes the Pa02 to be entered into the Computer unit;

d) Power output automatically from the force measuring device.

A sufficient inspiration time of 1 minute (pure 02) is assumed here for a significant increase in strength with good response to the in- spi ration. This value is therefore entered as the standard value for the 02 feed. It is only changed by the computer if a) the prerequisite for a good response to the inspiration is not met, b) if there is low blood pressure (the more the low systolic pressure from the normotonic value) is removed, the more the transcutaneously determined oxygen part will generally have to be increased (due to the damping effect at low blood pressure in the case of transcutaneous measurement), c) if the force compared to the Normally assumed power output must be classified as bad in order to achieve a significant improvement in the power output. In this application example, the following values do not result in a change in the specified standard inspiration time (ie the values given to the computer do not change the specified standard value): initial value of 81 mm Hg; Blood pressure of systolic 125 mm Hg; Pa02 after 40 seconds of test inspection time of 520 mm Hg. The following value, on the other hand, results in a change (ie extension) of the specified inspection time:

Power output of 60 kp.

The power output of 60 kp is reported to the computer using a factor (which takes age and kp power into account) which changes the inspiration time from the specified standard time period of 1 minute to one Time of 90 seconds results. The test subject is now fed pure 02 for 90 seconds. He does the end Inspirational time and shortly after inspiration again high performance tests. In these new tests, he achieved maximum power of 66 and 69 kp, respectively. The 6 or 9 kp higher power output (compared to the maximum power output of 60 kp before inspiration) was achieved through the greatly increased feeling (and the actual state) of vitality and activity, which was caused by the significantly increased oxygen parity.

Example of use:

A 25-year-old man decides to create a sense of well-being for a short time by applying oxygen. For this purpose, after placing an oxygen mask on the face and a sensor of the device for transcutaneous measurement on a skin site where the arterial p02 (= Pa02) can be measured most favorably, he throws a coin into the coin-inserting device. This activates the device for transcutaneous, bloodless measurement of the Pa02 and, after the sensor rod has expired (i.e. when the sensor is ready to measure), the oxygen inlet valve L is opened.

After 39 seconds of inspiration, a Pa02 value of 500 Hg is reached. The device for transcutaneous, bloodless measurement of the Pa02 is switched in such a way that when the value of 500 mm Hg is reached, it closes the oxygen inlet valve. The man is now stripping off 02 mask and sensor. He now breathes more intensively for a period of about half an hour, which causes a slight hyperoxemia in the blood (and thus in the body tissue (and therefore also nerve tissue)), which results in a correspondingly long-lasting increased well-being. 7. Application example:

A 30-year-old man decides to breathe in pure oxygen in the form that he remains constantly in an arterial oxygen parte ia Idruck area (possibly in a Mi-p02 area) of 110 - 200 mm Hg. For this purpose, he sets the range of 110-200 mm Hg on the setting device of the device for the transcutaneous measurement of p02, puts an automatic oxygen mask detailed below on the face and the sensor of the device for the transcutaneous measurement of p02 a skin site that most conveniently allows measurement of arterial p02. Switching on the device effects the supply of pure oxygen until a p02 value of 200 mm Hg is reached. At this moment the device for the transcutaneous measurement of the p02 causes the oxygen inlet valve to close and at the same time the lower part of the automatic 02 mask to open, so that air can be breathed. The p02 value now drops - at first fairly quickly, then somewhat more slowly - and after 90 seconds again reaches the lower predetermined p02 value of 110 mm Hg. At this moment the device for transcutaneous measurement of the p02 causes the acid to open ¬ substance inlet valves and at the same time the closing of the lower part of the aut atic 02 mask, so that only the incoming pure oxygen is inhaled. In this way, the person is able to remain in a predetermined p02 range at all times, both the upper and lower limits and the extent of the p02 range being freely selectable. In accordance with the above-mentioned application examples, a device for carrying out the method known above has an oxygen source which is connected to a breathing line such as a oxygen mask or the like via a connection line which can be regulated by a control valve. is connectable.

It can also be provided that a mixing device for admixing ambient air is arranged on the connecting line between the oxygen source Le and the control valve if air is to be used with an oxygen component L which is higher than the ambient air.

In order to determine the optimal inspiration time, it is provided that the device connects a device, known per se, for the bloodless, transcutaneous measurement of the oxygen partial pressure to a device via a connection line to the device for the bloodless, transcutaneous measurement of the oxygen partial pressure Sensor, which is arranged to be freely manageable, and that a corresponding device for blood pressure measurement is provided.

In conjunction with these components and the arrangement of a corresponding control device with a computer unit and a time measuring device, a device has been created that is optimally designed for the intended purpose and that displays all measured values and the intended or predetermined values on a display device or triggers an optical or acoustic signal when certain values are reached. The device is coin operated or it can be operated with a check or club card, provided that this enables subsequent billing and / or contains evidence of the authorization to use.

The device is preferably arranged in a cabin, the cabin being designed as a multi-walled, in particular four-walled room with a lockable door and an interior enclosing it, the device being arranged in the interior. For use in rooms that are not accessible to the public, in which access authorization is not important or not by inserting coins or the like. er¬ ird is bought, a cabin as an open semicircle or the like. be provided.

Advantageous designs of the cabin emerge from the subclaims.

It can be provided that a power measurement device or a skill test device is provided in the interior of the cabin.

The type of power or force measuring device can be of a wide variety of types, for example for measuring the power provided by devices for boxing, tearing, pushing, kicking, pulling, pressing, rocking, rotating, etc. It is essential that in the device an oxygen source (e.g. 02 bottle, zeolite device, membrane filter device, 02 concentration sensor or another 02 source is integrated, which is either pure 02 or air with increased 02 portion supplies as well as other devices required for 02 application, such as pressure gauges and reducers. Humidifier, flow meter, supply hose, 02 masks or glasses or T-pieces or other nasal applicators, as well as a device for the bloodless, transcutaneous and continuous determination of the (arterial or venous) oxygen part ia pressure (if necessary a Mi sh-p02 value) (eg similar to Hu oxigen 02 monitor T 900 or similar devices), and the automatic electronic blood pressure measuring device. The computer unit is suitable for determining the necessary period of inspiration for pure 02 or for air with an increased 02 component in order to achieve an arterial (or possibly venous) p02 or a mixed p02 value with which one significantly higher power (ie maximum power) can be achieved, whereby the following should be taken into account when determining the inspiration duration: a) p02 arterial (or venous or sch-p02) before the maximum power, b) p02 after very brief inspiration from pure 02 or air with increased 0 content (a few seconds to 1 minute), c) concentration of the supplied 02, d ⁾ blood pressure and e) power

The required inspiration time is determined by the integrated computer unit, taking into account the following data: concentration (volume percent) of the inspired oxygen, blood pressure (to take into account the damping effect which occurs at low blood pressure in the case of transcutaneous measurement) of p02 ⁽ ie with normal systolic pressure or hypertension, the transcutaneously measured value largely corresponds to the actual value, while with low blood pressure the transcutaneously measured value must be increased slightly. in order to correspond to the actual value), oxygen part ia pressure values which are determined transcutaneously, and maximum power or other type of performance (eg performance achieved through exercise).

The control device with the computer unit is provided in such a way that it controls the following: duration of the measurement of the transcutaneous p02, duration of the delay between the end of the measurement of the transcutaneous measurement of the p02 and the start of the supply of pure 02 or of air with an increased 02- Share as well as duration of inspiration of pure 02 or of air with increased 02 share.

In the cabin, the devices required for an 02 application can also be Pressure meters and reducers, humidifiers, flow meters, 02 masks or glasses or T-pieces or other nose or mouth appli cators can be provided.

Since not only the type, size and condition of the muscles, but also the 02 value in blood and tissue is decisive for a certain muscle performance, it is important for the test person, especially for the visitor to the fair, about his or her 02 Values to be informed before the effort, because the lower the p02 value, the higher the performance achieved. Poor p02 values are very often caused by illnesses that have been passed through, lack of exercise or stressors before influences. (See "Experience book" (Journal for Medical Practice, Volume 2 of 1984, No. 267A, pages 53-77, ins- special page 65 due to the influence of stress on the 02 values). Poor 02 values respond very well and quickly to inspiration from pure 02 or from air with an increased 02 content, ie considerable improvements in the 02 values can be achieved even with very short inspiration times, resulting in a corresponding increase in performance by eliminating a certain relative number Circles of sweat result. Knowing the p02 output value before exertion alone is not sufficient to determine the inspiration time required for a significant increase in performance. This is because the required inspiration time can be different for people with the same starting value. For example, the required inspiration time is different for two people with the same low initial value of p02 if the initial value is physiological (ie normal for reasons of physical constitution) in one person and caused by negative influences from the past in the other person. A considerably shorter inspiration time is required for the latter person. Therefore, the transcutaneous measurement is a very convenient, fast, completely painless and bloodless measurement method - not only of the p02 starting value before exertion, but also of the p02 value after the short test inspiration time (of a few seconds) ) necessary to determine the response to inspiration and thus the necessary actual inspiration time.

The inspiration of pure 02 or of air with an increased 02 percentage not only leads to a short-term actual increase in performance, but also calls for a special which gives a short-term feeling of vitality and a willingness to act, which increases the willingness to exert yourself. Due to the fact that a coin insertion device is provided both at the cabin entrance and on the device itself and thus within the cabin, the measurement duration and inspiration time preselected from outside the cabin can be extended as desired.

A timer is preferably provided in the cabin or on the device housing, there in the input field, with which the choice and duration of a predefined sequence program can be selected. A switch for selecting the following alternatives can also be provided:

(a) inserting coins to achieve the recommended inspiration time; or

b) Inserting coins - regardless of the recommended inspiration time - to achieve the duration of inspiration desired by the visitor.

A cabin equipped in this way can be used as follows, in particular in the showman trade.

The cabin has a door which is provided with a coin device which only allows the door to be opened after a coin has been inserted. The insertion of a coin causes the door to open and at the same time activates the probe (sensor) of the device for transcutaneous measurement of the p02 which (for example on the roof of the cabin) is protected so that it cannot simply be willfully damaged. The part of this device that shows the p02 value - hidden by a thick, protective glass plate - is visible from inside the cabin. By inserting the coin, the circuit of the device for measuring the transcutaneous p02 for the certain measuring time plus sensor stabilization time is elapsed, which elapses until the sensor is ready to measure (eg 2.5 minutes = 2 minutes Stabilization time plus 30 seconds of pure measurement time) closed, so that the visitor to the cabin can measure his own transcutaneous p02 during the pure measurement period by applying the probe of the device for transcutaneous measurement of p02 on different skin areas. The p02 value measured by the visitor himself - namely the values measured during the entire measurement period (here 30 seconds) are entered into a computer unit. The computer unit effects the multiplication of the average measured value entered into it by a certain factor. (The average is calculated by adding all the values of the individual measurements and dividing the sum of the additions by the number of measurements.) The result of this calculation is the required inspiration time for pure 02 or for air with an increased 02 percentage. The user is shown the necessary inspiration time as the "recommended inspiration time" and the amount of money to be thrown in for this purpose on the display part of the computer unit. A short recommended inspiration time requires less or smaller coins to be inserted than a longer recommended inspiration time. There is a switchover device inside the cabin, which can be actuated, for example, by means of two pushbuttons or by means of rotary switches, which enables the selection between inserting coins for inspiration for the duration of the recommended inspiration time or inserting coins regardless of the recommended inspiration time for achieving an inspiration time chosen by the user.

The user therefore has the following options: By inserting a coin (s) that make up a larger amount of money, he can cause the cabin door to open, as well as by inserting the coin (s) that make up a smaller (minimum) amount of money, and also open a longer one Measuring time of the transcutaneous p02 enables wi rd. In the case of a longer measuring period, the visitor has the possibility of gaining more knowledge of the oxygen levels at the various parts of the body. Or he can choose between inserting coins for 1. the amount of money required for the recommended inspiration time and 2. for an inspiration time chosen by the visitor himself.

Example of use:

A 25-year-old man decides to determine his oxygen part pressure (= p02) and inspire pure oxygen according to his p02 a self-service oxygen part ia Ld ruc k determination and oxygen inspection cabi ne to seek. To do this, he throws the coin into the coin door of the car door for the minimum p02 measurement time. The cabin door lock is then unlocked. He enters, closes the door, sits down and grabs the probe, which is connected to the device for transcutaneously determining the p02 by a cable and at the same time at the time of opening the cabin door was activated by inserting the coin, using the time r (Ze ts cha Lt-) device for a pure measuring period of 30 seconds (ie in this case for a total period of 2.5 minutes) 2 minutes of sensor stabilization time until ready for measurement plus 30 seconds of pure measurement time) the circuit for the transcutaneous p02 measurement is kept closed.

After the probe stabilization period (ie after 2 minutes), the man first brings the probe into contact with the skin of the hand, for example, and then with the skin of the upper and forearm, and reads a few seconds each after touching the Skin the transcutaneously measured values (80, 82 + 84 mm Hg) from the first display field of the transcutaneous measurement device. After a total of 2.5 minutes, the circuit for the p02 measuring device is interrupted by the timer (Zei tscha Lt-) device.

The computing unit calculates an average measured value of 82 mm Hg. Since 25-year-old men have normal values between 90 and 100 mm Hg, it follows that an average value of 82 mm Hg is considerably too low for a 25-year-old. The computer unit calculates - based on the factor of 0.6341 (82 x 0.6341 = 51.9962 = 52 seconds) entered for 82 mm Hg; a different factor is entered for each p02 value, e.g. for 100 mm Hg (= norma Lerwei This is the highest value, provided there was no 02 inspiration before the measurement) factor 1.0000, for values below 100 mm Hg factors below 1.0000) - a recommended inspiration time of 52 seconds (instead of the standard inspiration time of 30 seconds), gives this value to the timer ^(time switch) device via cable and shows this value on its first display field. He decides to follow the recommendation and therefore presses the button of the changeover device. A corresponding coin slot is required for an inspiration time of 52 seconds. The amount of money is displayed on the second display field of the computer unit. The following is entered in the calculator:

Standard inspection time of 30 seconds requires a coin to be inserted from 1 coin, up to 45 seconds requires an additional coin, 46 to 55 seconds also requires an additional coin. After the required coins have been inserted, for the inspiration time calculated by the computer unit as recommended by 52 seconds, due to the value given by the computer unit to the timer (time) device Seconds - pure 02 from a 02 source (in this case an oxygen bottle, but it is also possible to supply a central 02 source for the supply of several cabins) via a 02 one-way mask (or 02 one-way glasses).

The man removed the mask from the mask dispenser shortly before the 02 supply began and put it over his face. After inspiration has ended, the man removes the 02 one-way mask, throws it into the container for used masks and leaves the cabin. He now has an increased p02 value for the next half hour and thus - also due to the feeling of vitality caused by the inspiration of pure 02 - at least (individually very different) an increased well-being for about half an hour. A particularly advantageous alternative when using the method and the device results from the use of an automatic oxygen mask, in which it is provided that the mask consists of an upper part and a lower part with a bead, with the lower part Has opening openings which can be closed in a gas-tight manner by means of a closing device arranged in the bead, the closing device being a plastic or rubber skin which can be rolled or folded into the bead and which can be extended and closed by means of a pulling device via the opening openings , is designed and the Zugeinr device is designed as an electromotive traction drive with pulling belts that can be rolled in and out via the electromotive traction drive.

This configuration can be used, for example, in a device for controlling dexterity test devices and entertainment and play (also gaming equipment) devices, the operation of which requires a certain degree of skill (for example, shooting operations of any type using devices) (eg rifle, pistol, revolver, laser shot device, torpedo shot device, which carry out shot processes by means of powder ammunition, pressurized gases, electronic or laser devices, whereby the target objects can be of various shapes, electronic test and entertainment devices, the task of which can be to overcome, destroy or hit a wide variety of objects, racing car or racing motorcycle and simulation devices, etc., and has the advantage of not only disclosing to a test person what normal blood acid the test person's physical value a certain skill performance is provided, a good skill performance of a test person being particularly high if the blood oxygen value is lower than the standard value. In particular, the device according to this application is intended to make it possible for a person to make comparisons with other test persons taking part in the skill test or in the entertainment or money game with the required skill. (Ie comparison with the result of another person taking into account that person's blood oxygen value). In addition, this device is intended to enable a person to carry out the test or the memory either a) while observing a specific, predeterminable oxygen part or oil pressure range or b) when selecting a specific oxygen part or id value to be carried out with the required skill during the test or the maintenance or (money) gaming process.

This device therefore enables a person to preselect any oxygen partial pressure range (for example, possibly above the normal arterial (or also venous) oxygen part ia idruc k value (or mixed p02) of the person) (e.g. Arterial oxygen part ia Id ruc k ⁽ or Mi sc h-p02-Be re ich) 100 180 mm Hg or 150-250 mm Hg or 250-400 mm Hg or 250-500 mm Hg, the highest value being around 600 mm Hg scatters), which then ensures that the skill test or the entertainment or gaming process (also gaming process can only be carried out as long as the predetermined oxygen part and idruc k range is complied with.) The predetermined range ( of, for example, 180-300 mm Hg) exceeded or undershot, so at the moment the over or Falling below the operation of the skill test device interrupted. For example, 2 (or more) test persons can carry out the test or the game when the oxygen partial pressure range is the same for all persons. In this way, individually existing differences in the normal oxygen pressure value (and thus different preconditions) can be eliminated. Alternatively, it is also possible for one person to try, despite selecting a low oxygen partial pressure range against another person who is more clumsy and has selected a high oxygen partial pressure range, in the test or at Better game performance. Since the p02 value drops during stress during the test or game, the person can specifically increase the p02 value when the p02 value drops during the game.

The higher the predetermined range, the greater the ability to concentrate and the more the ability to react is increased and the tiredness - possibly due to work and / or stress - is reduced.

Another preferred embodiment of an oxygen mask enables targeted inspiration. This targeted inspiration for the purpose of maintaining a certain preselected p02 is made possible by an 02 mask, which is designed according to the invention in such a way that the supply of pure 02 or air with an increased 02 fraction is enabled by a horizontal zontal forward pressure of the head, this pressure either a) only being passed on through the nose covered by the 02 mask, including the nasal Grundes (ie the 02 mask base resting on the base of the nose is particularly solid and also designed with an additional massive round nozzle so that the pressure exerted by head pressure forward through a valve - which in the idle state the supply of pure 02 or interrupts air with an increased 02 fraction - switches on the supply of pure 02 or air with an increased 02 fraction, in such a way that the pressure can be applied well and without nuisance to the test person Alternative b), the 02 mask can also be designed in such a way that the head pressure directed forward is also passed on to the valve switch by forehead and / or chin length (s), and thus the switching on of the supply of pure 02 or air with an increased 02 proportion. The head pressure horizontally forward not only causes the supply of 02 to be switched on, but also at the same time the hermetic seal of the test person's nose from the ambient air, so that inspiration is provided only by pure 02 or by air with an increased 02 component, as long as the head pressure stopping forward.

The bottom of the 02 mask is attached to a vertically adjustable frame so that the size of the test person can be taken into account. This frame can also be adjusted laterally (either forwards or backwards) so that the test person remains undisturbed by the 02 mask during inspection and / or game rallies rspi e Len can. Since it may be necessary to change the inspection and inspection inspections quickly, the frame is designed in such a way that it can be easily moved back from the laterally adjusted position the central location, which allows inspiration, can be adjusted where it locks. The lock remains engaged as long as - by pushing the head forward - pure 02 or air with an increased 02 content is supplied. The locking mechanism disengages, thereby releasing the adjustment to the side as soon as the 02 feed is interrupted due to a lack of head pressure to the front.

A very particularly advantageous application of the invention consists in a control device which, by means of continuous transcutaneous measurement of the oxygen part pressure, controls dexterity devices and entertainment and play devices (also money-saving devices) which require a certain dexterity and / or which operate with the above-mentioned devices brought performance values according to simultaneously measured oxygen part a pressure:

The p02 value is measured continuously by a device for transcutaneous measurement of the p02. Each change in the measured values also changes the multiplier factors entered in a computer unit by which the points achieved on the skill test device or gaming device are multiplied. This means that a specific Mu Itipli kato i factor is specified in the computer unit for each p02 value. Depending on the p02 range or value specified as desirable by the test person, the multiplier factors can also be changed, as shown in the following alternatives. The player has a) the option of specifying a specific (arterial or venous) oxygen part ia idruc kw rt (= p02) (eg 250 mm Hg), which appears to him to be the most advantageous mean value. It is now up to the test person to stay as close as possible to the preselected average during the test / game through targeted inspiration of pure 02 or air with an increased 02 proportion. A constant control of the p02 is possible for the person by the continuous display of the p02 on the p02-An∑ei Gefe Ld of the device.

During the exercise of the dexterity test or the game, the test person has both the most successful exercise of the test or the game and - when the device is operated with simultaneous inspiration of pure 02 or air with increased 02- Proportion - pay attention to the continuously measured p02, so that it stays as close as possible to the preselected value, so that as many points as possible are reached. This therefore results because the highest multiplier factors have been entered into the computer unit of this device for the respectively preselected values. Many alternative types of application are possible. If the device is operated without inspiration from pure 02 or from air with an increased 02 percentage, the p02 value can also be changed through targeted intensive breathing of normal ambient air.

The device according to this application has its own point indicator, which is operated by a) pulses indicating the performance values of the test or game device to which it is connected, a computer unit integrated in the device corresponding to the level of the performance values changed in the following developed alternatives: According to a preferred embodiment, it is provided: operation without supply of 02 or air with an increased 0 component with continuous measurement and display of the p02 value and constantly (continuously) depending on the B Lutsauer nstoffwert changed test or game results :

The results achieved by the test or game device are entered into the computer unit of the device, which multiplies the test or game results, for example, by a factor of 1,000 as long as the p02 measured simultaneously by means of the transcutaneous measurement device in a predeterminable manner p02 range (e.g. 90-95 mm Hg) or with a predetermined p02 value (e.g. 94 mm Hg) remains. The computer unit is switched in accordance with sub-alternative AA) in such a way that the results are not changed if the p02 values are below the predetermined range or value (ie multiplication by a factor of 1,000, for example), since the test or game Iresu Itate were achieved with a less favorable than the predetermined p02 range or value. On the other hand, when a p02 value above the predetermined p02 range or value is measured, the respective test or game result is multiplied by a factor which is, for example, less than 1,000 ⁽ for example, a factor of 0.875 in the case of a p02 Value of 94 mm Hg with a predetermined p02 value of 91 mm Hg). The extent of the resulting reduction in the original result can be changed as desired by changing the factors.

This type of procedure makes 1) individual in the event of the participation of several test persons or players different p02 values and thus the individually different test or game requirements. This means that the results achieved by players with p02 values which are above the predetermined p02 values are reduced by multiplication by a factor which is, for example, less than 1,000 and are shown in the amount resulting from the factor multiplication on the separate display field of the device.

As a result, the different physical preconditions of the players are taken into account for the first time in an entertainment game when the results are displayed.

If only 1 person exercises the test or the game, the respective daily form of the person, which is expressed in the currently measured p02, can be taken into account in comparison with one previously used by the device for transcutaneous measurement of p02 in the person concerned measured p02 value.

All persons performing the test or the game in this way have constant control over their blood 's oxygen value and can influence this in the presence of an unfavorable value by inspiring pure 02 or air with an increased 02 proportion

The computer unit is switched according to alternative BB) in such a way that in the case of p02 values which are below the predetermined range or value, the results are multiplied by a factor which is, for example, greater than 1,000 (for example by a factor of 1.15) in the case of a p02 value of 91 mm Hg at a predetermined p02 value of 94 mm Hg). This creates a compensation for the actually less measured p02 value compared to the predetermined p02 value. In the case of values which lie above the predetermined range or value, it is conceivable according to this alternative that these values are multiplied, for example by a factor of 1,000 or alternatively by a factor which is, for example, below 1,000.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the following is provided:

Operation without the supply of 02 or air with an increased 02 component with continuous measurement of p02 and calculation of the average oxygen partial pressure value resulting at the end of the test or game and a corresponding increase or decrease in the overall test or game result Multiplication by the average factor resulting from this at the end of the test or game, whereby the calculation can be carried out according to the alternatives mentioned under basic alternative A).

According to a further preferred embodiment, the following is provided:

Operation with the supply of pure 02 or air with an increased 02 fraction L with continuous measurement and display of the (ar¬ or venous) p02 value or p02 mix value. Enabling the test or game process within a predeterminable p02 value range and constantly (continuously) changing test or game results depending on the blood oxygen value: The computer unit is switched according to sub-alternative AA) so that either 1) the test / game advises or alternatively certain functional parts of the device are only in operation or count points if the preselected p02 range is adhered to (ie If the preselected p02 range is undershot or exceeded, for example, the power supply to the test / game device is interrupted) or 2) as long as the test or game results are multiplied by a favorable factor, such as the pre-selected p02 range is observed. Multiplication by an unfavorable factor, for example, occurs when the preselected p02 range is exceeded or fallen short of, with many alternatives (as described under basic alternatives A + B) possible.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the following is provided:

Operation of gaming machines with the control device of this application: It is conceivable that the player wishes to play only in a state of increased willingness to react and therefore, for example, only if a certain predeterminable p02 range is observed. The device would therefore only be switched on at the moment when the predetermined p02 range has been reached. A continuation of the (next) game could only be possible if one. Possibly falling below or exceeding the predetermined p02 range has ended. Controlling the amount of the profit - depending on p02 and in accordance with the alternatives mentioned above for test and gaming devices - is also conceivable. Brief description of the drawings

Detailed description of the invention and best way to carry out the invention

1 shows a device denoted by 100, which is arranged in a box-like device housing 10. From an oxygen source arranged therein, a connecting line 11, which is through a flow valve Lba r through a control valve 12, leads out of the device housing 10 to a breathing cap 13, which can be designed as a mouthpiece or as a mask or 02 glasses The control valve 12 is controlled via a control unit 14, which is connected to a device 15 for transcutaneous p02 measurement. The device 15 is connected to a sensor 17 via a connecting line 16.

An alpha-numerical display device 19, the optical signal generator 20, the acoustic signal generator 21, the emergency on / off switch 22 and the input field 22a are arranged on the front side 18 of the device housing 10, via corresponding ones in the drawing Lines, not shown, are connected to the control unit 14. Furthermore, on the front 18 there is a coin insertion device 23 with a coin operated switch 23a integrated in it and connected to the control unit 14, and a check card receiving and dispensing device 24 with a check card readable and a switch 24a which can be actuated by the latter. The oxygen queue 25 is designed as a pressure vessel 26. A connection to an external oxygen source can also be provided here. The oxygen is fed to the valve 12 via the mixing device 27 for possible admixture of ambient air. In the device housing 10 is. also arranged a blood pressure meter 28 which is connected to a line 29 designed as a pressure and measuring line, with a measuring sleeve 29a.

The arrangement of the device 100 in the device housing 100 is shown only as an example. Other arrangements, such as the arrangement of individual components separately from the housing and connected to it via corresponding lines, enable the same advantageous use of the device 100. The structure of the cabin 30 shown in FIG. 1 is illustrated below using an example of use.

A user who wishes to enter and use the cabin 30, which is made of wood, plastic, metal, etc. and has a size sufficient to accommodate a seat device (chair, armchair or the like), the device for transcutaneous measurement of the p02 The devices for supplying the 02 or the air with an increased 02 component, the 02 source (if no central 02 source exists) and the timer (Zei tscha Lt ⁾ device are thrown into the Coin insertion or check card insertion device 34 of the cabin door 32 inserts a coin. The locking device 33 of the cabin door 32 of the cabin 30 is then unlocked. He enters, closes the door 32, sits on a chair (not shown) and enters the number for his age (eg 25) into the keyboard 22a provided for this purpose. Then he actuates the force measuring device 35, which reports a value of 60 kp to the control unit of the device 100. He then places his right upper arm in the pressure cuff 29a of the electronic blood pressure measuring device of the device 100, in which the sensor 17 of the device for transcutaneous measurement of the p02 of the device 100 is integrated. Simultaneously at the time the cabin door 32 is opened, the electronic blood pressure monitor and the associated blinking indicator 20 are prompted to insert the arm into the pressure cuff 29a and the device for transcutaneously measuring the p02 by inserting the coin is activated. Accordingly, the pressure cuff 29a closes a few seconds after the upper arm is inserted and the blood pressure is reported to the control unit. The sensor 17 mounted in the pressure cuff 29a of the device for transcutaneous measurement of the p02, which is also activated by the coin insertion, measures the p02 after the sensor stabilization time has elapsed and reports the p02 value to the control unit, which transmits the same with a multiplied the measured blood pressure determined factor (e.g., for normo- and hypertension factor 1,000, for hypotension factors over 1,000 - corresponding to the degree of hypotension).

Values measured in the example: a) a blood pressure of systolic 125 mm Hg (= no rmotoni e) before the effort, b) arterial oxygen part ia id ruc k of 95 mm Hg (= no rma le r value for a 25 year old Man), c) power (before the test inspection): 60 kp (= assumed here as relatively poor performance, since the best performance specification in the device is 100 kp).

A sufficient inspiration time of an average of 1 minute (pure 02) is assumed here for a clear strengthening achievement with a good response to the inspiration. This value (1 minute) is therefore entered for the actual inspiration of pure 02. It is only changed (extended) via the computer if a) the prerequisite for good response to the inspiration is not met, b) if a significantly too low p02 output is measured (the following also applies here) take into account: if there is low blood pressure. the transcutaneously determined p02-value will have to be increased (due to the damping effect at low blood pressure with transcutaneous measurement), c) if the maximum strength is poor (in order to achieve a significant improvement in maximum strength through longer inspiration).

Effect of the values entered in the computer on the recommended inspiration time for pure 02:

When the values a) -c) are entered into the computer, the following value in this exemplary embodiment does not result in a change in the predetermined inspiration time of 1 minute (ie the following value given to the computer does not change the predetermined inspiration time of 1 minute ):

Arterial oxygen partner pressure of 95 mm Hg (since normal value), which, due to the normal blood pressure of 125 mm Hg, does not have to be assumed to be actually higher. (Since blood pressure is normal, the p02 value is multiplied by a factor of 1,000.).

However, the following value changes (extends) the given inspiration time of 1 minute:

Power output of 60 kp. The power output is reported to the control unit by a factor (which takes age and body power into account), which ⁽ in the case of a test inspiration with a normal value) in an inspiration time (for the actual inspiration) of 92 seconds results. After the above-mentioned values a) -c) have been entered into the control unit, the latter activates the flashing display 20, which prompts the user to take a disposable 02 mask from a 02 mask dispenser (not shown) and on the mask attachment device 13 to attach. By putting on the Einma L-02 mask with the right (or left) hand, the supply of pure 02 is effected over a period of 20 seconds. After the supply of pure 02 has ended (ie after 20 seconds of inspiration), the control unit interrupts the supply of pure 02 and simultaneously activates the pressure cuff 29a, the electronic blood pressure meter and the device for measuring the p02. In the example, the following values are now measured:

Blood pressure of 128 mm Hg (= normal value) and art. p02 of 365 mm Hg (= good response to inspiration of pure 02 meaningful value). These values do not change the inspiration time determined before the test inspection for the actual inspiration of 92 seconds. ⁽ Enter factor 1,000 into the computer). ⁽ If a p02 value of 290 mm Hg had been measured at the same blood pressure, the previously determined value of 92 seconds would have been multiplied by a factor of 1.174, so that the recommended inspiration time for the actual inspiration would have been 108 seconds. )

The recommended inspiration time of 92 seconds is displayed on the display part 19 of the computer and requested to make a choice between inspiration for the duration of the period of 15 seconds by actuating the switching device in the input field 22a Standard inspiration time of 60 seconds or for the duration of the recommended inspiration time. If no choice is made within 15 seconds, pure 02 is supplied for the duration of the standard inspiration time of 60 seconds. For example, if the user wishes to inspire pure 02 for the duration of the recommended inspiration time, he throws the amount of money required for this and shown on the display panel 19 into the coin insertion device 23 inside the cabin. As soon as the required amount of money has been completely inserted, pure 02 is supplied by the 02 source of the device 100 for the duration of the recommended inspiration time of 92 seconds.

After completion of inspiration appears in the display einπ ^'rect 19, the prompt again Kraftme߬ the device 35, which is formed as Kraftzughebe L 36 to actuate. Due to the test inspiration of 20 seconds and the actual inspiration of 92 seconds, a significantly increased willingness to perform power and a considerably increased ability to perform power is achieved. This is confirmed by the power of 71 kp now achieved by the user. The user may then be interested in his improved p02 value in different skin areas of the arms and legs. In order to be able to carry out the measurement in peace, he throws coins into the coin insertion device 23 within the cabin 30, which enables him to measure the p02 for 30 seconds. The continuously measured p02 values are continuously displayed on the display part 19. Instead of the force measuring device 35 or to supplement it, a skill testing device 38 with a viewing screen 39 and an operating panel 39a can also be provided, which is used in a corresponding manner. 3 to 5, a oxygen mask 40 is shown, which is designed so that its upper part 41- looks like a normal 02 mask (ie made of closed material, for example plastic or rubber), while it lower part 42 is traversed so much by openings 44 of any kind (for example round, elongated or differently shaped holes) that normal room air breathing is conveniently possible. On the lower bead 43 of the mask 40, the lower part of a thin, closed, air or 02 impermeable plastic (or rubber) skin 49 is fastened on both sides by means of thin, elastic wire or several bands 47, which are embodied as threads or cords It could be connected to two pulling devices 46 activated by small electric motors 45. Electric motors and traction devices are firmly connected to the upper part 41 of the 02 mask 40. The electric motor 45 is then started via line 48 (which also serves for the power supply) by the device for transcutaneous measurement of the p02 (ie pulling action is triggered) when the opening of the 02 inlet valve - also triggered by this device - is triggered takes place and thus the supply of pure 02 or of air with an increased 02 portion is initiated. As a result, the plastic (or gum i -) skin 49, which is slightly larger than the lower part 42 of the 02 mask 40, is drawn over the wires or bands 47 until the skin 49 is firmly attached to the lower part l 42 of the 02 mask has been put on, a small part of the upper part 41 of the 02 mask also being covered, so that no further flow of room air or 02 is possible. At this moment locks the pulling device 46 so that the wires or bands 47 hold the skin 49 on the 02 mask. As soon as the supply of pure 02 or of air with an increased 02 content is interrupted by means of a pulse from the device for transcutaneous measurement of 02, the locking is released by means of a pulse conducted via line 48 and the electric motor 45, which is activated via the Pulling device 46 loosens the holding wires or holding straps 47 so that the skin 49 releases the openings 44 for subsequent air breathing. In order to ensure that the lower part 42 of the mask 40 is properly covered, the skin 49 is traversed by any number of thicker stiffening rods 50 (made of plastic or rubber) which prevent the skin from folding up.

FIGS. 6 and 7 show special configurations of game or skill devices, namely in FIG. 6 a so-called F Lipper machine and in FIG. 7 a skill test device. However, the arrangement shown is to be applied to any entertainment device in which tasks to be solved and / or activities are to be carried out, the body forces, good fine motor skills, good responsiveness, good coordination of movements with the optical or acoustic perception or the like. desire .
