ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to the field of physiological monitoring of ambulatory patients. More specifically, the invention is a vest to be worn by young patients (children) wherein a pouch on the backside of the vest is provided for the placement of a Holter, or similar, physiological monitor. Placement of the monitoring device in this manner makes it difficult for a child to disturb or otherwise manipulate the device. The vest is placed over the child's head and attached via straps that run under the child's arms. In one embodiment, the straps are lengths of material that can be tied in a double-knot, making it difficult for the child to remove the vest. Straps of this design also allow the vest to be easily fitted to children of different sizes. In yet another embodiment, the pouch consists of a series of elastic-like straps. Essential features of this latter embodiment are that the straps hold the physiological monitoring device securely and that the device is substantially inaccessible to the child patient while being worn. The specific arrangement of a back-side pouch that is substantially inaccessible to a child, in combination with the ability to adapt the vest to children of differing sizes provides a stable setup in which high quality physiological data can be obtained from an ambulatory child.
