Respiratory monitoring apparatus in conjunction with a paper diaper

Abstract

Disclosed is a respiratory monitoring device used cooperatively with a paper diaper (10). The device comprises a first part (21) and a second part (22), wherein the first part (21) comprises a first sensor and the second part (21) comprises a second sensor, with the first and second parts being respectively arranged at different positions on the anterior belly paste (15) region of the paper diaper (10) with different orientations or inclination angles, and the first and second sensors being used for monitoring the respiratory tension change of a user and outputting corresponding signals; a microprocessor (30) electrically connected to the first sensor and the second sensor respectively and judging the respiratory status of the user according to the signals output by the first sensor and / or the second sensor; and a respiratory status indicator for indicating the respiratory status of the user according to the judgement result of the microprocessor and sounding an alarm when the microprocessor judges that the user is in an abnormal respiratory state. The respiratory monitoring device can not only remove thoracic-abdominal belt restraint of traditional respiratory monitoring, but can also steadily and reliably monitor the respiratory status of a user, thus significantly reducing the mortality rate of sleep choking syndrome.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of medical monitoring equipment, in particular to a respiratory monitoring device used in conjunction with diapers. Background technique [0002] Sudden infant death syndrome, also known as cradle death (cot death, crib death), refers to the sudden and unexpected death of a baby who appears to be completely healthy. The second international SIDS (Sudden infant death syndrome, sudden infant death syndrome) was held in Seattle, North America in 1969 ) The meeting stipulates that it is defined as: infants who die suddenly and unexpectedly, and those who cannot determine the cause of death after autopsy are called SIDS. SIDS is the most common cause of death between 2 weeks and 1 year, accounting for 30% of deaths in this age group. The incidence rate is generally 1‰~2‰, and its distribution is worldwide. Generally, the incidence is more from midnight to early morning. Almost all the deaths of sudden infant death syndrom...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] Microwave respiration monitoring is obviously more expensive, and concerns about microwave radiation have hindered its popularization

For contact-type infant micro-movement monitoring, there is one that is used on baby pants. This device has a soft probe that stretches forward. When used, the probe touches the baby's abdomen to sense its breathing movement, but if it is not fixed well, If the probe is separated from the baby's abdomen, false alarms will occur

[0008] As for the thoracic and abdominal belt breathing test, it is relatively simple and practical. Its main disadvantage is that the monitored person must be restrained by the chest and abdominal belt when sleeping, and if the restraint is not firm, the detection effect will be affected.

As for the mattress-type micro-motion monitoring, although it has released the shackles of the chest and abdomen belts, due to the need for high sensitivity during work, it is easily disturbed by the outside world, such as noisy environments, vehicles passing by on the road, and breeze outside the window. Blowing through may interfere with the test results. In this case, even if there is an infant apnea event, it may not be detected.
