Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of Eustachian tube blowing and stretching therapy, and in particular to a monitoring system, a storage medium and an electronic device for Eustachian tube blowing and stretching therapy. Background Art
[0002] Secretory otitis media is a common disease in otolaryngology. It is a non-suppurative inflammatory disease of the middle ear characterized by conductive deafness and tympanic effusion due to obstruction or blockage of the Eustachian tube, and symptoms such as stuffy ears, ear congestion, tinnitus, and hearing loss.
[0003] The Eustachian tube is the only channel connecting the nasopharynx and the middle ear. It mainly provides a channel for air exchange between the nasopharynx and the middle ear to maintain the pressure balance inside and outside the middle ear. In addition, the Eustachian tube can clear (drain) the secretions produced in the middle ear to the nasopharynx, protecting the middle ear from infection and damage from the nasopharynx and secretion reflux.
[0004] If the Eustachian tube is dysfunctional or blocked, the outside atmospheric pressure cannot enter the middle ear through the Eustachian tube, and the pressure balance in the middle ear cannot be maintained, which can lead to a series of middle ear problems. Therefore, it is necessary to treat people with Eustachian tube dysfunction in time to prevent the disease from developing further. Opening and improving the function of the Eustachian tube and maintaining the pressure balance inside and outside the middle ear are conducive to the recovery of middle ear diseases and prevent adhesion, sclerosis and cholesterol granuloma of otitis media.
[0005] At present, Eustachian tube insufflation is widely used in clinical practice to clear the Eustachian tube passage. The more commonly used methods in clinical practice are: Politzerization, Eustachian tube catheter insufflation, or mechanical Eustachian tube insufflation.
[0006] During the Eustachian tube blowing treatment, normally, when the patient uses the blowing, after the Eustachian tube is opened, air flows from the nose through the Eustachian tube into the middle ear and impacts the eardrum. At this moment, the pressure in the middle ear changes, and the eardrum will bulge outward. The patient will clearly feel a pop or a swelling, and the ear is no longer stuffy, which means that the treatment operation is successful.
[0007] In actual applications, the patient's glandular hypertrophy compresses the pharyngeal opening of the Eustachian tube, which is compressed and blocked, or the Eustachian tube cartilage is completely closed and severely blocked, which makes the blowing treatment operation difficult to succeed. The doctor needs to know whether the operation is successful in order to arrange the treatment plan. At present, the success of the operation is generally determined based on the patient's description, but some patients cannot accurately describe their feelings, especially children, who may not cooperate with the treatment or lie. Therefore, it is impossible to clearly and accurately know whether the operation is successful and whether the treatment is effective. This will affect the treatment effect and mislead doctors and family members.
[0008] With regard to the problem in the prior art that it is impossible to accurately determine whether the inflating treatment is successful, resulting in poor treatment results, no effective solution has been proposed so far. Summary of the invention

[0063] The optional embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Embodiment 1
[0064] This embodiment provides a monitoring system for Eustachian tube blowing therapy, which is used to detect whether the blowing therapy is successful.
[0065] In this embodiment, the Eustachian tube blowing and stretching treatment instrument is provided with a nasal catheter connector, which is placed in the user's nasal cavity during use to provide a continuous, stable and adjustable airflow to the nasal cavity. Specifically, the Eustachian tube blowing and stretching treatment instrument generates air pressure in a closed airflow channel through an electronic air pump, and the control chip reads the air pressure value in the closed airflow channel, and at the same time controls the air pump and the pressure relief device to accurately adjust the air pressure in the closed airflow channel to achieve the optimal air pressure combination, so as to perform blowing and stretching treatment on the Eustachian tube.
[0066] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the monitoring system for Eustachian tube stretching therapy provided in the first embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the system includes: a Eustachian tube blowing treatment instrument 10 and a monitoring device 20.
[0067] The Eustachian tube blowing and stretching treatment instrument 10 is used to output airflow according to control instructions, and judge whether the current treatment operation is successful according to the monitoring data transmitted by the monitoring device 20, and output an operation prompt message. The monitoring data is used to indicate whether the current treatment operation causes the user's middle ear pressure to change, and refers to data that can reflect the change in middle ear pressure during the blowing and stretching treatment process, such as changes in the eardrum, changes in external auditory canal air pressure, changes in external auditory canal volume, changes in nasal pressure, changes in eardrum temperature, etc. Specifically, the monitoring data can be compared with the preset success conditions to determine whether the operation is successful. If the current treatment operation is not successful, the treatment can be repeated on site. The Eustachian tube blowing and stretching treatment instrument in this embodiment can be either an electronic pressure adjustment or a mechanical pressure adjustment. It is preferred to use electronic precision control of the airflow pressure to avoid errors caused by mechanical control over time and other factors.
[0068] The monitoring device 20 is connected to the Eustachian tube blowing therapy instrument 10, and is used to obtain the monitoring data and transmit it to the Eustachian tube blowing therapy instrument 10 after the Eustachian tube blowing therapy instrument 10 outputs the airflow required by the user.
[0069] The Eustachian tube blowing treatment instrument 10 and the monitoring device 20 can communicate wirelessly or wired. Specifically, the Eustachian tube blowing treatment instrument 10 includes: a first communication module 11, which is used to connect and communicate with the monitoring device 20 through wireless communication and / or wired communication. Correspondingly, the monitoring device 20 also includes a wireless communication module and / or a wired communication module to communicate with the Eustachian tube blowing treatment instrument 10.
[0070] This embodiment obtains monitoring data of the blowing and stretching treatment process through a monitoring device, determines whether the current blowing and stretching treatment operation is successful based on the monitoring data, objectively obtains accurate treatment results, and monitors the treatment situation, which helps to better perform treatment and avoids the problem of poor treatment effect caused by the inability to accurately determine whether the blowing and stretching treatment is successful.
[0071] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the Eustachian tube blowing treatment instrument 10 includes: a control chip 12 and an output module 13.
[0072] The control chip 12 is connected to the first communication module 11, and is used to generate an operation prompt message based on the monitoring data transmitted by the monitoring device 20, and send the operation prompt message to the output module 13, wherein the operation prompt message is used to prompt the user whether the current operation is successful, for example, the left ear is successful, the right ear fails, etc.
[0073] The output module 13 is connected to the control chip 12 and is used to output an operation prompt message. The output module 13 includes at least one of the following: a display screen, a speaker, and a light. For example, the display screen shows that the left ear is successful and the right ear is unsuccessful. The speaker plays the voice of the right ear successfully. Two lights can be set, one for the left ear and one for the right ear. If the operation is successful, it will be displayed in green, and if the operation fails, it will be displayed in red.
[0074] Optionally, the monitoring device 20 includes at least one of the following: an eardrum change monitor 21 , an ear pressure sensor 22 , an external auditory canal volume monitoring sensor 23 , a decibel sensor 24 , a nasal pressure sensor 25 and an eardrum temperature sensor 26 .
[0075] The above-mentioned eardrum changes mainly refer to changes in the position of the eardrum, which can be reflected through image comparison or video, and can also be reflected through changes in the distance of the eardrum. The eardrum change monitor 21 is used to detect changes in the eardrum image and / or changes in the eardrum distance when the Eustachian tube blowing therapy instrument outputs airflow for treatment as monitoring data. The eardrum change monitor 21 includes at least one of the following: an image acquisition module, a photoelectric sensor, an infrared sensor, and an ultrasonic sensor. The image acquisition module can capture images or videos of the eardrum, for example, an electronic display otoscope. Photoelectric sensors, infrared sensors, and ultrasonic sensors can all capture changes in the distance of the eardrum.
[0076] Taking the image acquisition module as an example, the image acquisition module is used to collect the eardrum image and / or eardrum video when the Eustachian tube blowing therapy instrument outputs airflow for treatment as monitoring data. Accordingly, the Eustachian tube blowing therapy instrument includes: an image processing module, which is connected to the eardrum change monitor 21 in communication (that is, connected to the eardrum change monitor 21 through the first communication module 11), and is connected to the control chip 12, and is used to determine whether there is a change in the user's eardrum based on the eardrum image and / or eardrum video, and transmit the judgment result to the control chip 12 of the Eustachian tube blowing therapy instrument.
[0077] When the user uses the Eustachian tube blowing and stretching treatment instrument, the eardrum change monitor is placed in the user's ear canal. When the Eustachian tube blowing and stretching treatment instrument outputs airflow to the user's nasal cavity and the user swallows, the airflow enters the Eustachian tube through the nasopharyngeal cavity and reaches the middle ear cavity. The user's eardrum will bulge outward and feel the change in middle ear pressure. By taking images or videos before and after the output of the airflow, the image processing algorithm can be used for comparison to determine whether the eardrum is bulging and whether there are changes. Therefore, by collecting images or videos, it can be determined whether the treatment operation is successful. In addition, the image processing module can also be connected to the output module 13 to display the eardrum image and / or eardrum video in real time.
[0078] The ear pressure sensor 22 is used to detect the change of the air pressure in the external auditory canal when the Eustachian tube blowing therapy instrument outputs airflow for treatment, as monitoring data.
[0079] The external auditory canal volume monitoring sensor 23 is used to detect the change in the external auditory canal volume when the Eustachian tube blowing therapy instrument outputs airflow for treatment, as monitoring data.
[0080] When the user uses the Eustachian tube blowing therapy instrument, the ear pressure sensor or the external auditory canal volume monitoring sensor is placed in the user's ear canal. When the Eustachian tube blowing therapy instrument outputs airflow to the user's nasal cavity and the user swallows, the airflow enters the Eustachian tube through the nasopharynx and reaches the middle ear cavity. The user's eardrum will bulge outward. At this time, the volume and air pressure of the enclosed space formed by the eardrum and the external auditory canal will change. By detecting the volume change or air pressure change, it can be determined whether the treatment operation is successful.
[0081] The decibel sensor 24 is used to detect the change of eardrum noise when the Eustachian tube blowing and stretching treatment instrument 10 outputs airflow for treatment as monitoring data. When the user uses the Eustachian tube blowing and stretching treatment instrument, the decibel sensor is placed in the user's ear canal. When the Eustachian tube blowing and stretching treatment instrument outputs airflow to the user's nasal cavity and the user swallows, the airflow enters the Eustachian tube through the nasopharyngeal cavity and reaches the middle ear cavity. The user's eardrum will bulge outward. The change of the eardrum will produce noise. By detecting this noise, it can be determined whether the treatment operation is successful.
[0082] The nasal pressure sensor 25 is used to detect the change in nasal pressure when the Eustachian tube blowing and stretching treatment instrument 10 outputs airflow for treatment as monitoring data. When the user uses the Eustachian tube blowing and stretching treatment instrument, the nasal pressure sensor is placed in the user's nasal cavity (for example, if the airflow is input through the left nostril, the nasal pressure sensor is placed in the right nostril). When the airflow is input into the nasal cavity, the nasal pressure is relatively sufficient. At the moment when the user swallows, the air pressure of the airflow will enter the ear, and the nasal pressure will change. Therefore, the nasal pressure can be used to determine whether the treatment operation is successful.
[0083] The eardrum temperature sensor 26 is used to detect the change in eardrum temperature when the Eustachian tube blowing and stretching treatment instrument 10 outputs airflow for treatment as monitoring data. When the user uses the Eustachian tube blowing and stretching treatment instrument, the eardrum temperature sensor is placed in the user's ear canal. When the Eustachian tube blowing and stretching treatment instrument outputs airflow to the user's nasal cavity and the user swallows, the airflow enters the Eustachian tube through the nasopharyngeal cavity and reaches the middle ear cavity. The user's eardrum will bulge outward. The change in the eardrum will cause the eardrum temperature to change. By detecting the temperature change, it can be determined whether the treatment operation is successful.
[0084] It should be noted that in specific applications, according to actual needs, the Eustachian tube blowing therapy instrument product can be configured with any one of the above-mentioned monitoring devices, or can be configured with all of the above-mentioned monitoring devices. The user or doctor can choose one or more of them to monitor whether the treatment is successful. If multiple devices are selected, more than a predetermined proportion of the monitoring devices need to indicate that the treatment is successful before the current treatment is considered successful, thereby improving the accuracy of the judgment.
[0085] In addition, the Eustachian tube blowing and stretching treatment instrument may be provided with a storage mechanism to accommodate the above-mentioned monitoring device, or monitoring probe. A charging module may be provided in the storage mechanism to charge the monitoring device placed in the storage mechanism.
[0086] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the Eustachian tube blowing treatment instrument 10 includes:
[0087] A mode selection module 14, used to select the current working mode of the Eustachian tube blowing treatment instrument 10 according to the user's selection operation, wherein each working mode is provided with a corresponding air pressure range;
[0088] An air pressure regulating module 15, configured to regulate the air pressure within the air pressure range corresponding to the current working mode according to the user's adjustment operation, so as to determine the air pressure required by the user;
[0089] The control chip 12 is connected to the mode selection module 14 and the air pressure adjustment module 15, and is used to automatically adjust the output stable airflow according to the air pressure required by the user. When the air pressure value of the output airflow exceeds the air pressure required by the user, the Eustachian tube blowing therapy instrument 10 is controlled to stop working and a prompt message is output.
[0090] Among them, each working mode of the Eustachian tube blowing therapy instrument is suitable for user groups with different tolerances and needs. The air pressure range corresponding to the first mode is 1kPa-30kPa, and preferably, the air pressure range can be set to 10kPa-30kPa; the air pressure range corresponding to the second mode is 1kPa-40kPa, and preferably, the air pressure range can be set to 10kPa-40kPa; the air pressure range corresponding to the third mode is 1kPa-50kPa, and preferably, the air pressure range can be set to 10kPa-50kPa; the air pressure range corresponding to the fourth mode is 1kPa-80kPa, and preferably, the air pressure range can be set to 10kPa-70kPa. The mode selection module 14 and the air pressure adjustment module 15 can be in the form of a knob or a touch screen.
[0091] Exemplarily, different working modes are set according to the user's age and condition, including: infant mode, child mode, adult mode and extreme mode. The infant mode is for 0-3 years old, and the air pressure generally used is below 30kPa, and the air pressure range can be set to 10-30kPa. The child mode is for 3-12 years old, and the air pressure generally used is below 40kPa, and the air pressure range can be set to 10-40kPa. The air pressure generally used by adults is below 50kPa, and the air pressure range corresponding to the adult mode can be set to 10-50kPa. Patients with severe Eustachian tube obstruction require a higher air pressure, generally 45kPa-70kPa. For example, patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma have degeneration of the microvessels of the Eustachian tube and its connective tissue membrane and muscles around the cartilage after radiotherapy, and the structure undergoes fibrosclerosis. The air pressure required by such patients will be relatively high, and the air pressure range corresponding to the extreme mode can be set to 10-70kPa. In each working mode, when the current air flow pressure output by the Eustachian tube blowing therapy instrument exceeds the air pressure required by the user, it will automatically stop using to ensure safety and avoid injury to the user.
[0092] When the Eustachian tube blowing therapy instrument is turned on and used, the user can select a working mode according to his or her own situation, and can freely adjust the air flow pressure output by the Eustachian tube blowing therapy instrument within the safe air pressure range corresponding to the working mode.
[0093] Specifically, the working mode can be selected by buttons, touch screens or knobs, etc. The air pressure can be adjusted at will within the safe air pressure range corresponding to the current working mode by electronic adjustment or knob adjustment.
[0094] Compared with existing products that cannot adjust air pressure or can only adjust two fixed air pressure values (such as 20kPa and 38kPa), this optional implementation mode sets a working mode suitable for different users. Users can quickly and arbitrarily adjust the air pressure suitable for themselves within the safe air pressure range corresponding to this mode according to their own situation and treatment results, ensuring the success rate of treatment and improving the user's treatment effect and user experience. And when the output air flow pressure exceeds the pressure required by the user, the treatment instrument will automatically stop to ensure safety.
[0095] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the system may further include: a user terminal 30 for recording user treatment information. Accordingly, the Eustachian tube blowing treatment instrument 10 includes: a second communication module 16 for connecting and communicating with the user terminal 30, and transmitting the user treatment information to the user terminal 30 in real time for recording.
[0096] Among them, the user treatment information includes: the time of the user's daily treatment operation, the status of each treatment operation, and whether the left ear and / or right ear treatment operation is successful. The second communication module can be a wireless communication such as Bluetooth, or it can be a WIFI module, and the user terminal and the Eustachian tube blowing and stretching treatment instrument in the same local area network can communicate. The user terminal 30 can be a smart terminal such as a mobile phone or a tablet computer, and an application is installed on the above-mentioned smart terminal or a public account is used to record the user treatment information. Specifically, after the control chip 12 in the Eustachian tube blowing and stretching treatment instrument 10 obtains the user treatment information, it transmits the user treatment information to the user terminal 30 through the second communication module 16.
[0097] This embodiment records the user's treatment status in real time, making it easy to view and analyze the user's entire treatment, understand the condition, and change the treatment plan in time. If the user's treatment operation is unsuccessful for many times, the cause can be analyzed based on the user's treatment information to carry out targeted treatment, for example, adjusting the airflow pressure, so that the treatment can be carried out more accurately and whether the operation is successful. In addition, the server can regularly analyze the user's treatment information to update the software of the treatment instrument to ensure data accuracy.
[0098] In some embodiments, the Eustachian tube blowing therapy instrument 10 may further include: an air pressure sensor and / or a flow sensor, which is disposed in the closed air flow channel of the therapy instrument and is used to detect the current air pressure and / or current flow in the closed air flow channel.
[0099] Among them, the flow rate is proportional to the air pressure, and the air pressure can also be monitored by monitoring the flow rate. The flow rate generally ranges from 500 ml per minute to 2000 ml per minute. In this embodiment, the air pressure can be precisely regulated and controlled by the control chip and the air pressure regulating module, and the accuracy of the air pressure can be verified by the air pressure sensor and / or the flow sensor, so as to control the error accuracy within 2%. Then, it is judged whether the current air pressure is the air pressure required by the user, and whether it exceeds the air pressure required by the user, to ensure accuracy and safety.
[0100] In addition, a pressure relief device can be provided in the closed airflow channel, which can be installed on the air pipe channel between the air pressure sensor and / or flow sensor and the electric air pump. According to the air pressure sensor and / or flow sensor signal and the air pressure required by the user, the output airflow pressure is automatically adjusted by controlling the opening and closing size of the pressure relief device, so that the air pressure value of the airflow channel can be kept balanced at the set air pressure value, so that the airflow pressure is stably controlled at the data required by the user, ensuring accurate and reliable output. Specifically, the pressure relief device can be an electromagnetic proportional valve.
[0101] In practical applications, the Eustachian tube blowing therapy instrument can be configured as a handheld device or as an instrument placed on a desktop.
[0102] In an optional embodiment, an alarm device may be provided, connected to the monitoring device, to detect whether the connection between the monitoring device and the external auditory canal or nasal cavity is sealed, and an alarm is issued if the sealing degree does not meet the requirements. In this way, treatment can be performed and whether the treatment is successful can be judged under the condition of good sealing, which can improve the accuracy and reference of the monitoring data to a certain extent. Embodiment 2
[0103] Based on the same concept, this embodiment provides a monitoring method for Eustachian tube blowing therapy, which is implemented based on the monitoring system for Eustachian tube blowing therapy. The explanations of terms that are the same or corresponding to the above embodiments are not repeated in this embodiment.
[0104] Figure 3 : is a flow chart of a monitoring method for Eustachian tube stretching treatment provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:
[0105] S301, obtaining monitoring data during the process of the Eustachian tube blowing therapy instrument performing blowing therapy; wherein the monitoring data is used to indicate whether the current treatment operation causes a change in the user's middle ear pressure;
[0106] S302, judging whether the current treatment operation is successful according to the monitoring data;
[0107] S303: Output an operation prompt message.
[0108] This embodiment obtains monitoring data of the blowing and stretching treatment process, determines whether the current blowing and stretching treatment operation is successful based on the monitoring data, objectively obtains accurate treatment results, and monitors the treatment situation, which helps to better perform treatment and avoids the problem of poor treatment effect caused by the inability to accurately determine whether the blowing and stretching treatment is successful.
[0109] Optionally, S301 includes at least one of the following:
[0110] The tympanic tube blowing treatment instrument outputs airflow to collect tympanic tube image changes and / or tympanic tube distance changes when performing treatment through an tympanic tube change monitor;
[0111] Detecting the change of air pressure in the external auditory canal when the Eustachian tube blowing and stretching treatment instrument outputs airflow for treatment by using an ear pressure sensor;
[0112] The volume change of the external auditory canal during treatment is detected by the external auditory canal volume monitoring sensor when the Eustachian tube blowing therapy instrument outputs airflow for treatment;
[0113] Detecting changes in eardrum noise when the Eustachian tube blowing therapy instrument outputs airflow for treatment by using a decibel sensor;
[0114] Detecting the change of nasal pressure when the Eustachian tube blowing and stretching treatment instrument outputs airflow for treatment by using a nasal pressure sensor;
[0115] The eardrum temperature sensor is used to detect the change in eardrum temperature when the Eustachian tube blowing therapy instrument outputs airflow for treatment.
[0116] The corresponding monitoring data is obtained through the above monitoring device as a basis for judging whether the current treatment operation is successful. The acquisition method is simple and reliable, and the accuracy of the judgment result can be guaranteed.
[0117] Optionally, before acquiring the monitoring data, the method may further include: receiving mode selection information; determining the current working mode of the Eustachian tube blowing therapy instrument and the air pressure range corresponding to the mode according to the mode selection information; adjusting the air pressure within the air pressure range corresponding to the current working mode according to the user's adjustment operation to determine the air pressure required by the user; automatically adjusting and outputting a stable airflow according to the air pressure required by the user; if the air pressure value of the airflow output by the Eustachian tube blowing therapy instrument exceeds the air pressure required by the user, controlling the Eustachian tube blowing therapy instrument to stop working and outputting a prompt message.
[0118] Each working mode of the Eustachian tube blowing therapy instrument is suitable for user groups with different tolerances and needs. The air pressure range corresponding to the first mode is 1kPa-30kPa, the air pressure range corresponding to the second mode is 1kPa-40kPa, the air pressure range corresponding to the third mode is 1kPa-50kPa, and the air pressure range corresponding to the fourth mode is 1kPa-80kPa.
[0119] Compared with existing products that cannot adjust the air pressure or can only adjust two fixed air pressure values (such as 20kPa and 38kPa), this optional implementation mode sets a working mode suitable for different users. Users can select the corresponding working mode according to their needs, and can quickly and freely adjust the air pressure suitable for themselves within the safe air pressure range corresponding to the mode, thereby improving user experience, increasing the success rate of treatment, and ensuring the treatment effect; if the air pressure value of the output airflow exceeds the air pressure value adjusted by the user, the treatment instrument will automatically stop to ensure safety.
[0120] Optionally, after determining whether the current treatment operation is successful based on the monitoring data, the method may further include: transmitting user treatment information to a user terminal connected to the Eustachian tube blowing treatment instrument in real time.
[0121] This embodiment records the user's treatment status in real time, making it easy to view and analyze the user's entire treatment, understand the condition, and change the treatment plan in time. If the user's treatment operation is unsuccessful for many times, the cause can be analyzed based on the user's treatment information to carry out targeted treatment, for example, adjusting the air flow pressure, so that the treatment can be carried out more accurately and whether the operation is successful can be determined.
[0122] Optionally, the above method may further include: detecting the current pressure and / or current flow rate in the closed air flow channel, so as to judge whether the current air pressure exceeds the air pressure required by the user, thereby ensuring safety.
[0123] Optionally, the output airflow pressure can be automatically adjusted according to the current pressure and / or current flow in the closed airflow channel and the air pressure required by the user by controlling the opening and closing size of the pressure relief device. This can keep the air pressure value of the airflow channel balanced at the set air pressure value, so that the airflow pressure can be stably controlled at the data required by the user, ensuring accurate and reliable output.
[0124] In an optional embodiment, it is possible to detect whether the connection between the monitoring device and the external auditory canal or nasal cavity is sealed, and if the sealing degree does not meet the requirements, an alarm is issued. In this way, treatment can be performed and whether the treatment is successful can be judged under the condition of good sealing, which can improve the accuracy and reference of the monitoring data to a certain extent.
