[0031] Anesthesia airway opening technology is one of the core technologies in the field of anesthesiology. Its core goal is to ensure the patency of the patient's airway, maintain effective ventilation and oxygenation during surgery or first aid, and at the same time minimize the risk of complications to the greatest extent.

[0032] However, some patients (such as those with congenital airway malformations, patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), etc.) are prone to airway collapse when anesthetized, resulting in obstruction of the airway (such as oropharynx / laryngopharynx, glottis, trachea, and bronchi, etc.), and further leading to ventilation dysfunction in the patient.

[0033] To solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for generating prompt information. In this method, first, hot gas information including temperature data and gas flow rate transmitted by an array composed of multiple sensors at a preset time interval is obtained in real time to dynamically monitor the airway state, timely detect abnormal changes in temperature or gas flow rate, and provide a basis for subsequent steps. Then, analysis information including at least one airflow obstruction index and ventilation volume information corresponding to a specific area in the user's airway is obtained based on the hot gas information. By analyzing the temperature and gas flow rate data in different areas (oropharynx, laryngopharynx, trachea, etc.), the obstruction degree of each part is accurately quantified, and the ventilation volume of the left and right lungs is calculated in real time to assist the doctor in judging whether the ventilation of both lungs is balanced, providing a basis for subsequent steps. Then, prompt information for prompting the doctor is obtained based on the analysis information to achieve real-time dynamic intervention, and improve the problem that the airway collapses during anesthesia, resulting in airway obstruction and further causing ventilation dysfunction in the patient.

[0034] The method for generating prompt information provided by the embodiment of the present application can be applied to an anesthesia airway opening assistance device. At this time, the anesthesia airway opening assistance device is the execution subject of the method for generating prompt information provided by the embodiment of the present application. The embodiment of the present application does not impose any restrictions on the specific type of the anesthesia airway opening assistance device.

[0035] For example, the anesthesia airway opening assistance device may include a laryngeal mask, multiple sensors, and a control device. The control device is respectively communicatively connected to the laryngeal mask and each sensor. Of course, the control device may also be communicatively connected to each sensor but not to the laryngeal mask. The control device may be a computing device such as a laptop computer or a cloud server, but is not limited thereto. The laryngeal mask is an artificial airway device used to establish ventilation in clinical anesthesia and first aid. For example, the laryngeal mask may be a flexible laryngeal mask, an intubating intelligent laryngeal mask, etc., but is not limited thereto. The laryngeal mask may include a mask body (such as a medical-grade silicone mask body, a plastic mask body, etc.), a catheter (such as an intelligent electronically controlled angle-adjustable catheter, an actively rotating joint-type catheter, etc.), but is not limited thereto. The sensor is a device capable of obtaining temperature and gas flow rate. For example, the sensor may be a temperature sensing device for a double-lumen tracheal catheter, a fiber Bragg grating sensor, etc., but is not limited thereto.

[0036] To better understand the method for generating prompt information provided by the embodiment of the present application, the following provides an exemplary introduction to the specific implementation process of the method for generating prompt information provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0037] Figure 1 The schematic flowchart of the method for generating prompt information provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown. The method for generating prompt information includes:

[0038] S100, obtaining hot gas information in real time; wherein, the hot gas information includes temperature data and gas flow rate transmitted by an array composed of multiple sensors at a preset time interval.

[0039] It can be understood that the preset time interval can be 0.5 seconds, 0.3 seconds, etc., but is not limited thereto. The arrangement of the sensing elements can be adjusted by the doctor according to the specific situation of the user's airway, or can adopt an annular or grid layout, etc., but is not limited thereto. The way to obtain the hot gas information can be to receive the data transmitted by the array composed of the sensing elements, or to receive the data transmitted by the doctor, etc., but is not limited thereto. Obtaining the hot gas information in real time can dynamically monitor the airway state, timely detect abnormal changes in temperature or gas flow rate, and provide a basis for subsequent steps.

[0040] In a possible implementation manner, the sensing elements are evenly distributed and attached to the surface of the airway catheter of the laryngeal mask and the laryngeal mask, and the distance between the tip of the airway catheter and the mucosal surface of the airway inner wall is greater than 2 mm.

[0041] It can be understood that the sensing element is a device capable of obtaining the temperature and gas flow rate in the user's airway. For example, the sensing element can include a temperature sensing element (such as a micro-thermocouple, an optical fiber temperature sensor, etc.) and a flow rate sensing element (such as a hot film anemometer, a micro differential pressure sensor, etc.), but is not limited thereto. The sensing elements can be evenly distributed and attached to the surface of the airway catheter of the laryngeal mask and the laryngeal mask, or the doctor can separately confirm and paste the positions of the respective sensing elements according to the specific situation of the user. By using the sensing elements to obtain the temperature and gas flow rate data in the user's airway during anesthesia, it provides a basis for subsequent steps. By setting the distance between the tip of the airway catheter and the mucosal surface of the airway inner wall to be greater than 2 mm, mechanical damage can be reduced, the interference of secretions to the sensing elements can be avoided, the measurement error can be prevented from increasing and causing data distortion, and the triggering of laryngeal spasm can be reduced.

[0042] Exemplarily, the brand of the sensing element can be DegreeC, Sensirion, etc., but is not limited thereto. The sampling frequency of the sensing element can be greater than 200 Hz. The sensing elements arranged on the airway catheter can be arranged in a spiral or annular shape around the outer wall of the catheter, or can be arranged by the doctor according to the user's airway condition, etc., but is not limited thereto. The sensing elements arranged on the laryngeal mask can be arranged in an annular or grid shape along the surface of the pharyngeal cavity fitting surface, and can be arranged by the doctor according to the user's airway condition, etc., but is not limited thereto. The distance between each sensor can be 1 mm, 2 mm, or customized by the doctor according to the length of the user's airway, etc., but is not limited thereto.

[0043] S200, obtaining analysis information based on the hot gas information; wherein, the analysis information includes at least one airflow obstruction index and ventilation volume information corresponding to a specific region in the user's airway, the specific region at least includes the oropharyngeal region, the laryngopharyngeal region, and the tracheal region, the airflow obstruction index reflects the obstruction condition of the specific region in the user's airway, and the ventilation volume information includes the left lung ventilation volume and the right lung ventilation volume.

[0044] It can be understood that the way to obtain the analysis information based on the hot gas information can be to first obtain a three-dimensional thermodynamic model based on the hot gas information and divide the oropharyngeal region, laryngopharyngeal region, and tracheal region in the model, and then calculate the airflow obstruction index, left lung ventilation volume, and right lung ventilation volume corresponding to regions such as the oropharyngeal region, laryngopharyngeal region, and tracheal region based on the temperature and gas flow velocity in each region respectively. It can also be to send the hot gas information to the user and then receive the data transmitted by the doctor, etc., but it is not limited to this. Obtaining the analysis information based on the hot gas information can accurately quantify the obstruction degree of each part, and calculate the left and right lung ventilation volumes in real time, assisting the doctor in judging whether the ventilation of both lungs is balanced and providing a basis for the subsequent steps.

[0045] In a possible implementation manner, please refer to Figure 2 , S200, obtaining the analysis information based on the hot gas information, including:

[0046] S210, establishing an airflow heat map based on the hot gas information; wherein, the airflow heat map reflects the temperature change in the airway during the breathing cycle of the user, and each voxel in the airflow heat map corresponds to each sensing element respectively, and the voxel reflects the temperature and gas flow velocity in a partial region of the user's airway.

[0047] Exemplarily, the time required to establish the airflow heat map based on the hot gas information is less than 500 milliseconds.

[0048] It can be understood that the airflow heat map is a three-dimensional space map that can reflect the temperature and airflow distribution in the user's airway according to the data transmitted in real time by each sensing element. The airflow heat map is composed of multiple voxels that reflect partial regions in the user's airway, and each voxel in the airflow heat map corresponds to a sensing element respectively. The breathing cycle is the time interval between the user starting to inhale and starting to inhale next time. Establishing the airflow heat map based on the hot gas information can intuitively display the temperature and gas flow velocity changes in the user's airway in real time, dynamically evaluate the airway resistance in the user's airway, and assist the doctor in diagnosing the user's condition.

[0049] S220, inputting the airflow heat map into a medical segmentation model to obtain region information; wherein, the region information includes the oropharyngeal region, laryngopharyngeal region, tracheal region, left main bronchus region, and right main bronchus region.

[0050] It can be understood that the medical segmentation model is obtained through machine learning training with multiple sets of data. Each set of data in the multiple sets of data includes: at least one airflow heat map, and the regional ranges of the oropharyngeal region, laryngopharyngeal region, tracheal region, left main bronchus region, and right main bronchus region marked manually in the airflow heat map. The oropharyngeal region is from the root of the tongue to the uvula, the laryngopharyngeal region is from the vallecula epiglottica to the glottis, the tracheal region is from below the glottis to the tracheal bifurcation, the left main bronchus region can be from the tracheal bifurcation to the left hilum of the lung, and the right main bronchus region is from the tracheal bifurcation to the right hilum of the lung. Inputting the airflow heat map into the medical segmentation model to obtain regional information can quickly locate the abnormal region in the case of foreign body obstruction or collapse of the airway, assisting the doctor to quickly respond and formulate surgical or treatment plans.

[0051] S230. Based on the regional information, obtain multiple airflow obstruction indices respectively corresponding to each region.

[0052] It can be understood that the range of the airflow obstruction index can be (0, 1). The size of the airflow obstruction index intuitively reflects whether there is an obstruction in the region within the airway. 0 indicates no obstruction, and 1 indicates complete obstruction. The closer the airflow obstruction index is to 0, the lower the degree of gas flow obstruction in the region corresponding to the airflow obstruction index. The closer the airflow obstruction index is to 1, the higher the degree of gas flow obstruction in the region corresponding to the airflow obstruction index. The method of obtaining multiple airflow obstruction indices respectively corresponding to each region based on the regional information can be to calculate the ratio of the number of voxels with a flow velocity less than the preset flow velocity to the total number of voxels in each region to obtain the volume ratio, and then calculate the ratio of the average flow velocity of the voxels with a flow velocity less than the preset flow velocity to the average flow velocity of the voxels with a flow velocity greater than or equal to the preset flow velocity in each region to obtain the flow velocity ratio. Then, weight the volume ratio and flow velocity ratio corresponding to each region respectively to obtain the airflow obstruction index. It can also be to receive the data transmitted by the doctor, etc., but not limited to this. Obtaining multiple airflow obstruction indices respectively corresponding to each region based on the regional information can achieve precise positioning and dynamic quantification of airway obstruction, assist the doctor in diagnosis, and provide a basis for subsequent steps.

[0053] Exemplarily, the time required to obtain multiple airflow obstruction indices respectively corresponding to each region based on the regional information is less than 200 milliseconds.

[0054] In a possible implementation manner, please refer to Figure 2 , S230. Based on the regional information, obtain multiple airflow obstruction indices respectively corresponding to each region, including:

[0055] S231. Mark the voxels with a gas flow velocity continuously less than the preset flow velocity within a preset time period as the suspicious obstruction area, and mark the voxels with a gas flow velocity greater than or equal to the preset flow velocity as the unobstructed area.

[0056] It can be understood that the preset time period can be 3 seconds, 5 seconds, etc., but is not limited thereto. The preset flow rate can be 0.2 m / s, 0.5 m / s, etc., but is not limited thereto. If the flow rate detected by a certain voxel is continuously less than the preset flow rate within the preset time period, it means that there may be an obstruction in the airway area corresponding to the voxel, resulting in a slowdown of the gas flow rate. Dividing each voxel into a suspicious obstruction area and a clear area according to the flow rate can provide a basis for subsequent steps.

[0057] S232. Analyze each area separately. Subtract the total number of voxels in the airflow heat map from the number of voxels in the suspicious obstruction area of each area to obtain the volume ratio corresponding to each area.

[0058] It can be understood that subtracting the total number of voxels in the airflow heat map from the number of voxels in the suspicious obstruction area of each area to obtain the volume ratio corresponding to each area can provide a basis for subsequent steps.

[0059] Exemplarily, assume that the number of voxels in the suspicious obstruction area of a certain area is 8, and the total number of voxels in the airflow heat map is 100. Then the volume ratio corresponding to this area = 8 / 100 = 0.08.

[0060] S233. Calculate the average flow rate of the suspicious obstruction area in each area within the preset time period. After obtaining the suspicious flow rate corresponding to each area, divide each suspicious flow rate by the average flow rate of the clear area within the preset time period to obtain the flow rate ratio corresponding to each area. Then subtract 1 from each flow rate ratio to obtain the flow rate attenuation rate corresponding to each area.

[0061] It can be understood that the method of calculating the average flow rate of the suspicious obstruction area in each area within the preset time period can be to confirm adjacent and connected suspicious obstruction areas as suspicious areas, calculate the average flow rate of each voxel in the suspicious area within the preset time period respectively, and then add up the average flow rates of each voxel in the suspicious area and divide by the number of voxels in the suspicious area to obtain the suspicious flow rate. It can also be to calculate the average flow rate of each voxel marked as a suspicious obstruction area separately within the preset time period to obtain the suspicious flow rate, etc., but is not limited thereto. The method of obtaining the average flow rate of the clear area within the preset time period can be to calculate the average flow rate of each voxel marked as a clear area within the preset time period respectively, and then add up the average flow rates of each voxel marked as a clear area within the preset time period and divide by the number of voxels marked as a clear area to obtain the average flow rate of the clear area within the preset time period. It can also be to receive data transmitted by a doctor, etc., but is not limited thereto. Obtaining the flow rate attenuation rate corresponding to each area means obtaining the flow rate attenuation rate corresponding to the oropharyngeal area, laryngopharyngeal area, tracheal area, left main bronchus area, and right main bronchus area.

[0062] Exemplarily, assume that the preset time period is 3 seconds, the flow velocities in the suspicious occlusion area within the preset time period are 0.2 m / s, 0.15 m / s, and 0.25 m / s respectively, and the flow velocities in the unobstructed area within the preset time period are 0.4 m / s, 0.5 m / s, and 0.4 m / s respectively. Then the suspicious flow velocity = (0.2 + 0.15 + 0.25) / 3 = 0.2 m / s, the average flow velocity in the unobstructed area within the preset time period = (0.4 + 0.5 + 0.4) / 3 = 0.43 m / s (rounded to two decimal places), the flow velocity ratio = 0.2 / 0.43 = 0.47 (rounded to two decimal places), and the flow velocity decay rate = 1 - 0.47 = 0.53.

[0063] S234, respectively multiply the volume proportion corresponding to each area by the preset volume weight and then add the value obtained by multiplying the flow velocity decay rate by the preset flow velocity weight to confirm the airflow obstruction index.

[0064] It can be understood that the preset volume weight can be 0.55, or a value customized by the doctor, etc., but not limited to this. The preset flow velocity weight can be 0.45, or a value customized by the doctor, etc., but not limited to this. The sum of the preset volume weight and the preset flow velocity weight is equal to 1.

[0065] Exemplarily, assume that the preset volume weight is 0.55, the preset flow velocity weight is 0.45, the flow velocity decay rate is 0.5, and the volume proportion is 0.2. Then the airflow obstruction index = 0.2 * 0.55 + 0.5 * 0.45 = 0.335.

[0066] S240, obtain ventilation volume information based on the area information.

[0067] It can be understood that the method of obtaining ventilation volume information based on the area information can be to multiply the gas flow velocity and the voxel cross-sectional area of each voxel in the left main bronchus area and the right main bronchus area in the area information at a certain moment and then multiply by the preset time interval to obtain the single-voxel gas volume, and then add the single-voxel gas volumes corresponding to each voxel in the left main bronchus area and the right main bronchus area to obtain the left lung ventilation volume and the right lung ventilation volume, and then confirm the ventilation volume information as the ventilation volume information, or it can be to receive the data transmitted by the doctor, etc., but not limited to this. Obtaining ventilation volume information based on the area information can provide a basis for subsequent steps.

[0068] In a possible implementation manner, please refer to Figure 2 , S240, obtain ventilation volume information based on the area information, including:

[0069] S241. During the inhalation phase, multiply the gas flow velocity corresponding to each voxel in the left main bronchus region by the cross-sectional area of the voxel and then multiply the result by a preset time interval to obtain a plurality of left voxel ventilation volumes respectively corresponding to the voxels in the left main bronchus region. Then, add up all the left voxel ventilation volumes, and the resulting value is confirmed as the left lung ventilation volume.

[0070] It can be understood that the way to confirm whether the user is in the inhalation phase can be to synchronously monitor the diaphragmatic movement through a strain band wrapped around the chest and abdomen (the abdomen moves outwards during inhalation), or to detect the temperature difference between exhaled and inhaled gases (the air flow temperature is close to the ambient temperature during inhalation and close to the body temperature during exhalation), etc., but it is not limited to this. During the inhalation phase, the alveoli are in the maximum expansion state, and the ventilation volume in the exhalation phase (such as the residual volume) is easily affected by airway resistance. Therefore, calculating the left lung ventilation volume and the right lung ventilation volume during the inhalation phase can improve the accuracy and reliability of the data.

[0071] Exemplarily, assume that the preset time interval is 0.5 s, and there are two voxels in the left main bronchus region. The gas flow velocity corresponding to one voxel is 0.4 m / s, and the cross-sectional area of the voxel is 1 mm². The gas flow velocity corresponding to the other voxel is 0.6 m / s, and the cross-sectional area of the voxel is 1 mm². Then, the left voxel ventilation volume corresponding to one voxel = 0.4 * 1 * 0.5 = 0.2 L, the left voxel ventilation volume corresponding to the other voxel = 0.6 * 1 * 0.5 = 0.3 L, and the left lung ventilation volume = 0.2 + 0.3 = 0.5 L.

[0072] Optionally, the method for calculating the left lung ventilation volume can also be to record the temperature change curves of the left main bronchus region and the right main bronchus region during the respiratory cycle, obtain the temperature change amplitudes of the left main bronchus region and the right main bronchus region during the respiratory cycle according to the temperature change curves respectively, then divide the temperature change amplitude of the left main bronchus region by the sum of the temperature change amplitudes of the left main bronchus region and the right main bronchus region to obtain the left lung ventilation ratio, and then multiply the left lung ventilation ratio by the standard ventilation volume to obtain the left lung ventilation volume. The standard ventilation volume is the sum of the ventilation volumes of the left lung and the right lung of the user or a person with a physical fitness similar to the user in a normal (healthy) state during one respiratory cycle.

[0073] S242. During the inhalation phase, multiply the gas flow velocity corresponding to each voxel in the right main bronchus region by the cross-sectional area of the voxel and then multiply the result by a preset time interval to obtain a plurality of right voxel ventilation volumes respectively corresponding to the voxels in the right main bronchus region. Then, add up all the right voxel ventilation volumes, and the resulting value is confirmed as the right lung ventilation volume.

[0074] It can be understood that after multiplying the gas flow velocity corresponding to each voxel in the right main bronchus region by the voxel cross-sectional area and then multiplying by a preset time interval to obtain a plurality of right voxel ventilation volumes respectively corresponding to each voxel in the right main bronchus region during the inhalation phase, the value obtained by summing all the right voxel ventilation volumes is confirmed as the right lung ventilation volume, which can provide a basis for subsequent steps.

[0075] Exemplarily, assuming that the preset time interval is 0.5 s, and there are two voxels in the right main bronchus region. The gas flow velocity corresponding to one voxel is 0.4 m / s, the voxel cross-sectional area is 1 mm², and the gas flow velocity corresponding to the other voxel is 0.6 m / s, the voxel cross-sectional area is 1 mm². Then, the right voxel ventilation volume corresponding to one voxel = 0.4 * 1 * 0.5 = 0.2 L, the right voxel ventilation volume corresponding to the other voxel = 0.6 * 1 * 0.5 = 0.3 L, and the right lung ventilation volume = 0.2 + 0.3 = 0.5 L.

[0076] S243, confirm the left lung ventilation volume and the right lung ventilation volume as ventilation volume information.

[0077] It can be understood that confirming the left lung ventilation volume and the right lung ventilation volume as ventilation volume information can provide a basis for subsequent steps.

[0078] S250, confirm each airflow obstruction index and the ventilation volume information as analysis information.

[0079] It can be understood that confirming each airflow obstruction index and the ventilation volume information as analysis information can provide a basis for subsequent steps.

[0080] S300, obtain prompt information based on the analysis information; wherein, the prompt information is used to prompt the doctor.

[0081] It can be understood that the way to obtain prompt information based on the analysis information can be to obtain lung function information for prompting the doctor to rotate the tip of the airway catheter based on the ventilation volume information, and obtain obstruction information for prompting the doctor to move the laryngeal mask based on each airflow obstruction index, or to send the analysis information to the doctor and then receive the data transmitted by the doctor, etc., but not limited thereto. Obtaining prompt information for prompting the doctor based on the analysis information can achieve real-time dynamic intervention and improve the problem that the patient's airway collapses during anesthesia, resulting in airway obstruction and further leading to ventilation dysfunction.

[0082] Exemplarily, starting from step S100, obtaining hot gas information, through step S200, obtaining analysis information based on the hot gas information, and then through step S300, the time required to obtain prompt information based on the analysis information is less than 1 second, meeting the clinical first aid requirements.

[0083] In a possible implementation manner, please refer to Figure 3, S300, obtaining a prompt message based on the analysis information, including:

[0084] S310, obtaining pulmonary function information based on the ventilation volume information; wherein, the pulmonary function information is used to prompt the doctor to rotate the tip of the airway catheter.

[0085] It can be understood that the method of obtaining pulmonary function information from the ventilation volume information can be to obtain the left lung ventilation ratio and the right lung ventilation ratio according to the left lung ventilation volume and the right lung ventilation volume, and then obtain the deviation angle reflecting the need to rotate the tip of the airway catheter according to the left lung ventilation ratio and the right lung ventilation ratio. It can also be to send the ventilation volume information to the doctor and then receive the data transmitted by the doctor, etc., but not limited to this. Obtaining pulmonary function information based on the ventilation volume information to prompt the doctor to rotate the tip of the airway catheter can dynamically adjust the direction of the catheter tip, making the airflow preferentially directed to the low ventilation area and avoiding excessive local airway pressure caused by catheter position deviation.

[0086] In a possible implementation manner, please refer to Figure 3 , S310, obtaining pulmonary function information based on the ventilation volume information, including:

[0087] S311, adding the left lung ventilation volume and the right lung ventilation volume to obtain the total ventilation volume.

[0088] It can be understood that adding the left lung ventilation volume and the right lung ventilation volume to obtain the total ventilation volume can provide a basis for subsequent steps.

[0089] Exemplarily, assuming the left lung ventilation volume is 0.3L and the right lung ventilation volume is 0.5L, then the total ventilation volume = 0.3 + 0.5 = 0.8L.

[0090] S312, dividing the left lung ventilation volume by the total ventilation volume, multiplying the obtained value by 100% to obtain the left lung ventilation ratio, and then subtracting the left lung ventilation ratio from 100% to obtain the right lung ventilation ratio.

[0091] It can be understood that calculating the left lung ventilation ratio and the right lung ventilation ratio can provide a basis for subsequent steps.

[0092] Exemplarily, assuming the left lung ventilation volume is 0.3L, the right lung ventilation volume is 0.5L, and the total ventilation volume is 0.8L, then the left lung ventilation ratio = (0.3 / 0.8) * 100% = 37.5%, and the right lung ventilation ratio = 100% - 37.5% = 62.5%.

[0093] S313, if the left lung ventilation ratio or the right lung ventilation ratio is less than the preset ratio, then confirm the left lung ventilation ratio or the right lung ventilation ratio whose reflected value is less than the preset ratio as the adjustment ratio, and then subtract the adjustment ratio from the target ratio to obtain the ratio difference; wherein, the target ratio is the ratio value to which the left lung ventilation ratio or the right lung ventilation ratio needs to be adjusted.

[0094] It can be understood that the preset ratio can be 40%, 35%, etc., but not limited to this. If the ventilation ratio of the left lung or the right lung is less than the preset ratio, it means that the position of the airway catheter has shifted or the side holes of the catheter are blocked by secretions or blood clots, resulting in a sudden drop in the unilateral ventilation volume. Calculating the ratio difference can provide a basis for subsequent steps.

[0095] Exemplarily, assuming that the ventilation ratio of the left lung is 30% and the ventilation ratio of the right lung is 70%, and the target ratio is 45%, then the ventilation ratio of the left lung is confirmed as the adjusted ratio, and the ratio difference = 45% - 30% = 15%.

[0096] S314, the value obtained by dividing the ratio difference by the catheter length and then taking the arctangent function is confirmed as the deviation angle, and the lung function information is obtained to prompt the doctor to rotate the tip of the airway catheter by the deviation angle in the direction of the lung corresponding to the ventilation ratio of the left lung or the right lung whose reflected value is less than the preset ratio.

[0097] It can be understood that rotating the tip of the catheter in the direction of the lung corresponding to the ventilation ratio of the left lung or the right lung whose reflected value is less than the preset ratio can make it closer to the main bronchus opening, reduce the airflow turning resistance, shorten the airflow path, and thus improve the ventilation of the upper lobe of the lung.

[0098] Exemplarily, if the ventilation ratio of the left lung is less than the preset ratio, the lung function information is obtained to prompt the doctor to rotate the tip of the airway catheter by the deviation angle in the direction of the left lung. Assuming that the ratio difference is 18% and the catheter length is 20 cm = 200 mm, then the deviation angle = arctan(18 / 200) ≈ 5.14°.

[0099] S320, obtaining the blockage information based on each airflow blockage index; the blockage information is used to prompt the doctor to move the laryngeal mask.

[0100] It can be understood that the method of obtaining the blockage information based on each airflow blockage index can be to judge whether each airflow blockage index is greater than 0.3, and after confirming the area corresponding to the airflow blockage index greater than 0.3 as the blocked area, obtaining the information to prompt the doctor to move the laryngeal mask according to the blockage situation of the blocked area, or sending each airflow blockage index to the doctor and then receiving the data transmitted by the doctor, etc., but not limited to this. Obtaining the blockage information used to prompt the doctor to move the laryngeal mask based on each airflow blockage index can timely remind the doctor to move the laryngeal mask according to the blockage situation in the airway, and avoid endangering the user's safety due to the long-term blockage of the user's airway.

[0101] In a possible implementation manner, please refer to Figure 3 , S320, obtaining the blockage information based on each airflow blockage index, including:

[0102] S321. Obtain multiple regional obstruction information based on each airflow obstruction index; wherein, the regional obstruction information reflects whether the regions in the specific regions corresponding to the airflow obstruction index are obstructed.

[0103] It can be understood that the way to obtain multiple regional obstruction information based on each airflow obstruction index can be to judge whether each airflow obstruction index is greater than 0.3. After confirming the regions corresponding to the airflow obstruction indices greater than 0.3 as the obstructed regions, obtain the regional obstruction information reflecting that the obstructed regions are obstructed, and obtain the regional obstruction information reflecting that the other regions corresponding to the airflow obstruction indices less than 0.3 are not obstructed.

[0104] In a possible implementation, please refer to Figure 3 , S321. Obtain multiple regional obstruction information based on each airflow obstruction index, including:

[0105] S3211. Respectively judge the magnitudes of each airflow obstruction index. If the airflow obstruction index is less than the judgment value, obtain the regional obstruction information reflecting that the regions corresponding to the airflow obstruction indices less than the judgment value are not obstructed.

[0106] It can be understood that the judgment value can be 0.3, 0.4, etc., but not limited thereto. If the airflow obstruction index is less than the judgment value, it means that the regions corresponding to the airflow obstruction index are not obstructed.

[0107] S3212. If the airflow obstruction index is greater than or equal to the judgment value, obtain the regional obstruction information reflecting that the regions corresponding to the airflow obstruction indices greater than or equal to the judgment value are obstructed.

[0108] It can be understood that if the airflow obstruction index is greater than or equal to the judgment value, it means that the regions corresponding to the airflow obstruction index are obstructed.

[0109] S322. If there is no regional obstruction information reflecting the obstructed regions, obtain the obstruction information prompting the doctor to maintain the current situation.

[0110] It can be understood that if there is no regional obstruction information reflecting the obstructed regions, it means that the user's airway is in a patent state, the placement position of the laryngeal mask is appropriate, and no adjustment is required.

[0111] S323. If there is regional obstruction information reflecting that the oropharyngeal region is obstructed, multiply the absolute value of the value obtained by subtracting 0.5 from the airflow obstruction index corresponding to the oropharyngeal region by the preset moving distance to obtain the forward movement distance, and obtain the laryngeal mask movement instruction prompting the doctor to move the laryngeal mask forward by the forward movement distance.

[0112] It can be understood that the preset moving distance can be 10mm, 5mm, or customized by the doctor according to the user's physical condition, etc., but not limited to this. If there is regional obstruction information indicating that the oropharyngeal region is blocked, it means that the user may have posterior displacement of the tongue root. By calculating the forward movement distance and obtaining a laryngeal mask movement instruction that prompts the doctor to move the laryngeal mask forward (towards the user's head) by the distance reflected by the forward movement distance, the ventilation mask at the front end of the laryngeal mask can directly push against the tongue root, break the fitting state between the tongue body and the posterior pharyngeal wall, form a physical space, and restore airway patency.

[0113] Exemplarily, assuming that the airflow obstruction index corresponding to the oropharyngeal region is 0.8 and the preset moving distance is 10mm, then the forward movement distance = |0.8 - 0.5| * 10 = 3mm, and a laryngeal mask movement instruction that prompts the doctor to move the laryngeal mask forward by 3mm is obtained.

[0114] S324, if there is regional obstruction information indicating that the laryngopharyngeal region is blocked, then a laryngeal mask rotation instruction that prompts the doctor to rotate the laryngeal mask to the right by a preset rotation angle is obtained.

[0115] It can be understood that the preset rotation angle can be 5°, 3°, or customized by the doctor according to the user's physical condition, etc., but not limited to this. If there is regional obstruction information indicating that the laryngopharyngeal region is blocked, it means that the user may have laryngeal spasm or secretions obstruction. Because the right main bronchus is shorter and straighter in its course and has a smaller angle with the tracheal longitudinal axis, when the tip of the airway catheter of the laryngeal mask rotates to the right, the airway catheter forms a better alignment with the anatomical curvature of the right main bronchus, reduces the friction between the catheter and the airway wall, reduces local resistance, and thus improves ventilation efficiency.

[0116] S325, if there is regional obstruction information indicating that the tracheal region is blocked, then a laryngeal mask withdrawal instruction that prompts the doctor to withdraw the laryngeal mask by a preset withdrawal distance and promptly remove secretions is obtained.

[0117] It can be understood that the preset withdrawal distance can be 2cm, 1cm, or customized by the doctor according to the user's physical condition, etc., but not limited to this. If there is regional obstruction information indicating that the tracheal region is blocked, it means that the position of the airway catheter is displaced or there is a phlegm plug affecting. Prompting the doctor to withdraw the laryngeal mask by a preset withdrawal distance can reduce catheter compression, restore bilateral ventilation balance, and avoid airway obstruction caused by improper laryngeal mask position.

[0118] S326, confirm the laryngeal mask movement instruction, laryngeal mask rotation instruction, and laryngeal mask withdrawal instruction as obstruction information.

[0119] It can be understood that confirming the laryngeal mask movement instruction, laryngeal mask rotation instruction, and laryngeal mask withdrawal instruction as obstruction information can provide suggestions for the doctor to control the laryngeal mask.

[0120] S330, confirm the pulmonary function information and obstruction information as prompt information.

[0121] It can be understood that confirming the pulmonary function information and the obstruction information as prompt information can timely remind the doctor, so as to achieve real-time dynamic intervention, and further improve the problem that when the patient is anesthetized, airway collapse occurs, resulting in airway obstruction, and further resulting in ventilation dysfunction of the patient.
