Cardiopulmonary ratio - shinpaikeisuu (English spelling) cardiopulmonary ratio

Japanese: 心肺係数 - しんぱいけいすう（英語表記）cardio‐pulmonary ratio

The Schneider test is a test that measures the heart rate at rest, the difference in heart rate caused by changes in body position, the increase in heart rate immediately after exercise, and the time it takes for the heart rate to return to the resting value. This test is also called the Schneider test or point test. This can be evaluated using a point system, but the procedure for administering this method is as follows: (1) after five minutes of lying down and resting, the pulse rate and blood pressure are measured for one minute, (2) after the patient is made to stand quietly, the pulse rate and blood pressure are measured two minutes later in a standing position, (3) the patient is made to step up and down a 10.5-inch (about 27 cm) high step at a rate of once every three seconds, and this is repeated five times, (4) the pulse rate immediately after exercise is counted for 15 seconds while the patient is standing and the number of pulse rates is converted to the number of beats per minute and recorded, (5) the pulse rate is then counted for 15 seconds while the patient is standing and the time it takes to recover to the normal number while standing is recorded, and if the pulse has not recovered after two minutes, the number of beats while standing is counted and recorded, and the patient is scored according to the prescribed method based on the pulse rates for each step.

安静時の脈拍数，体位の変化によって起こる脈拍数の差，また運動直後の脈拍の増加数と安静値に戻るまでの回復時間を調べ，総合的に体力を判定する一つの指標とする係数。この検査法をシュナイダー･テストSchneider testまたはポイント･テストpoint testともいう。これは点数制で評価しうるが，この方法の実施要領は，(1)安静臥位5分後に1分間の脈拍数と血圧を測定する，(2)静かに起立させて2分後に立位の脈拍数と血圧を測定する，(3)高さ10.5インチ(約27cm)の踏台を3秒に1回の割で昇降させ，これを5回くり返す，(4)運動直後の脈拍数を立位で15秒かぞえて，1分間の数に換算して記録する，(5)ひきつづき立位のまま15秒ずつ脈拍数をかぞえ，正常立位の数に回復するまでの時間を記録し，2分経過しても回復しないときは正常立位の数をかぞえて記録し，それぞれの脈拍数にもとづき，定められた方式で採点する。
