Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the medical field, and more particularly to a metabolic measurement device based on the fusion of gas concentration and respiratory mechanics parameters. Background Technology

[0002] In clinical practice, a basal metabolic rate (BMR) meter is commonly used to measure oxygen consumption per unit time (O2L / h) as one of the parameters for assessing metabolic capacity. Under relatively constant basal conditions, with an oxygen calorific value of 19.3 kJ, the basal metabolic rate (BMR) can be calculated by substituting the values ​​into the following formula: BMR = O2L / h × 19.3 kJ ÷ S. For example, a 30-year-old male with a body surface area of ​​1.5 m²... 2 Under basal conditions, the oxygen consumption was measured to be 12 L / h. Therefore, its BMR = 12 L / h × 19.3 kJ ÷ 1.5 m2 = 154.4 kJ / hm2. Then, according to the normal BMR values ​​for other age groups in Table 9-3, calculate the percentage of BMR that exceeds (+) or falls short (-) to determine whether it is within the normal range (generally ±10%).

[0003] Existing metabolic parameter measurements are all indirectly calculated results and are usually estimates that represent a basic state. They cannot provide real-time output of metabolic parameters, so the application of metabolic parameters is mostly limited to daily life.

[0004] In critically ill patients, real-time monitoring of their metabolic status is also very important. However, it is difficult to achieve real-time monitoring with current technology, so metabolic-related parameters are not monitored in critically ill patients.

[0005] Medical respiratory carbon dioxide concentration is one of the key parameters in modern clinical surgery and intensive care. Similarly, the measurement of respiratory mechanics parameters is also one of the key parameters in intensive care, especially for intubated patients, where airway management is crucial for life support.

[0006] In the existing technology, the measurement of respiratory mechanics parameters, which is relied upon for airway management, falls into two categories. One is that the respiratory mechanics parameter measurement is integrated into the ventilator or anesthesia machine and serves as a reference parameter for the operation of the ventilator or anesthesia machine. The other is that the respiratory mechanics parameter measurement module is configured as a monitor to measure respiratory mechanics parameters.

[0007] Whether integrated into a ventilator or anesthesia machine, or configured as a standalone monitoring device, respiratory mechanics parameter measurement modules typically require a separate flow sensor to work in conjunction with the main respiratory pathway. This setup increases the cost of respiratory mechanics measurements, as the sensor must be configured separately. Furthermore, it lacks sufficient coordination and consistency between respiratory mechanics parameter measurements and gas concentration measurements, making it impossible to use the data collaboratively for subsequent synchronous calculations.

[0008] Furthermore, there is no existing technology that can measure metabolic parameters of a single respiratory beat in real time. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The technical solution of this application overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art in that the measurement of metabolic parameters is not real-time. It proposes a metabolic measurement device and method based on an integrated adapter for gas concentration measurement and respiratory mechanics measurement, which integrates gas concentration measurement and respiratory mechanics measurement. The respiratory mechanics sensor is integrated into the adapter for gas concentration measurement, which becomes an integrated adapter for gas concentration measurement and respiratory mechanics measurement. This enables the metabolic measurement device based on the fusion of gas concentration and respiratory mechanics parameters to simultaneously measure gas concentration and respiratory mechanics parameters, and to calculate metabolic parameters based on gas concentration and respiratory mechanics parameters.

[0010] The technical solution to the above-mentioned technical problems is a metabolic measurement device based on the fusion of gas concentration and respiratory mechanics parameters. It includes a main control module, a gas concentration measurement module, a respiratory mechanics parameter measurement module, a metabolic parameter calculation module, and an integrated adapter for gas concentration measurement and respiratory mechanics measurement.

The integrated adapter for gas concentration measurement and respiratory mechanics measurement includes a main gas path inlet connection A, a main gas path outlet connection B, a respiratory mechanics sensor, and a hollow adapter body. A gas path sampling interface is used to connect to a gas measurement sampling tube. The main gas path inlet connection A and the main gas path outlet connection B are used to install the adapter body in the main respiratory gas path. The sensing part of the respiratory mechanics sensor is located inside the hollow adapter body and is used to measure the respiratory mechanics parameters in the main respiratory gas path. The metabolic parameter calculation module obtains the real-time gas concentration from the gas concentration measurement module; the metabolic parameter calculation module obtains the respiratory mechanics parameters from the respiratory mechanics parameter measurement module; and the metabolic parameter calculation module calculates the metabolic parameters based on the gas concentration and respiratory mechanics parameters.

[0011] The gas concentration measurement module includes any one or more of the following: a carbon dioxide concentration measurement module, an oxygen measurement module, and an anesthetic gas concentration measurement module.

[0012] The respiratory mechanics parameters include the gas flow rate, gas pressure, and gas temperature of the main airway; the respiratory mechanics parameter module includes a gas flow rate measurement module, a gas pressure measurement module, and a gas temperature measurement module.

[0014] The integrated adapter for gas concentration measurement and respiratory mechanics measurement is a bypass gas concentration measurement and respiratory mechanics measurement integrated adapter; a gas sampling interface is provided on the upper part of the adapter body, and the gas path sampling interface is used to connect with the gas measurement sampling tube; the gas sampling interface is located in the middle of the adapter body, and the respiratory mechanics sensor is located at the front end of the gas sampling interface, closer to the main gas path inlet connection end A.

[0015] The integrated adapter for gas concentration measurement and respiratory mechanics measurement is a mainstream integrated adapter for gas concentration measurement and respiratory mechanics measurement.

The gas measurement optical path component is located in the middle of the adapter body, and the respiratory mechanics sensor is located at the front end of the gas measurement optical path component, closer to the main gas inlet connection end A.

[0016] The respiratory mechanics sensor includes a flow sensor based on the principle of heat flow sensing. Its sensing part is a hollow flow sensor used to measure gas flow through airflow. The respiratory mechanics sensor is located on the side near the main airway inlet connection A; or the respiratory mechanics sensor is located on the side near the main airway outlet connection B.

[0017] The adapter body has an opening at the top for the respiratory mechanics sensor to be assembled into the adapter body; the adapter body has an opening at the top and an opening sealing device is provided above the opening.

[0018] Another technical solution to the above-mentioned technical problems is a metabolic measurement method based on the fusion of gas concentration and respiratory mechanics parameters, which obtains respiratory mechanics parameters including real-time gas flow rate; calculates the real-time flow rate of a single gas in the overall gas path based on the obtained real-time gas concentration value; and calculates the corresponding metabolic parameters based on the real-time flow rate of the single gas.

[0019] The metabolic parameter calculation module calculates the real-time flow rate of a single gas = real-time gas flow rate × real-time concentration of the single gas; based on the real-time flow rate of the single gas, it calculates the metabolic amount of the single gas in each respiratory beat.

[0020] Based on the above-mentioned metabolic measurement device that integrates gas concentration and respiratory mechanics parameters; the real-time flow rate of a single gas includes carbon dioxide gas flow rate, oxygen gas flow rate, and anesthetic gas flow rate; carbon dioxide gas flow rate = real-time gas flow rate × real-time carbon dioxide gas concentration value; oxygen gas flow rate = real-time gas flow rate × real-time oxygen gas concentration value; anesthetic gas flow rate = real-time gas flow rate × real-time anesthetic gas concentration value.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effect of this application is 1: gas concentration and respiratory mechanics parameters are integrated into a metabolic parameter measuring device, which not only greatly improves the efficiency of metabolic parameters, but also obtains the metabolic parameters corresponding to each respiratory beat.

[0022] Compared with existing technologies, the second beneficial effect of this application is that it can acquire multiple gas concentration parameters and multiple respiratory mechanics parameters at once, and can also acquire gas concentration data, respiratory mechanics parameter data and metabolic parameter data very synchronously, providing a foundation for subsequent fusion calculations. For critically ill patients, especially intubated critically ill patients, metabolic parameters can be assessed according to respiratory rhythm, providing another physiological parameter reference for assessing their sudden condition.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effect of this application is 3: the integrated adapter for gas concentration measurement and respiratory mechanics measurement can simultaneously measure gas concentration and respiratory mechanics parameters without the need for a separate support component for the respiratory mechanics sensing component. It can collaboratively measure gas concentration, respiratory mechanics parameters and metabolic parameters, improving measurement efficiency and reducing the overall cost of acquiring multiple parameters. One component can complete the measurement of multiple parameters.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effect of this application is 4: the integrated adapter for gas concentration measurement and respiratory mechanics measurement can sample respiratory mechanics parameters and gas concentration at relatively close locations, thus the data coordination and consistency are higher, which facilitates subsequent synchronous calculation and improves the accuracy and consistency of synchronous calculation.

[0025] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effect of this application is 5: The integrated adapter for gas concentration measurement and respiratory mechanics measurement includes both a bypass gas concentration measurement and respiratory mechanics measurement integrated adapter and a mainstream gas concentration measurement and respiratory mechanics measurement integrated adapter. Regardless of the measurement method, it can simultaneously measure gas concentration and respiratory mechanics, and has good adaptability to measurement application scenarios. Regardless of the measurement method, it can simultaneously acquire three sets of measurement parameters, namely gas concentration parameters, respiratory mechanics parameters, and metabolic parameters.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effect of this application is 6: the respiratory mechanics sensor is set at the front end of the gas measurement optical path assembly, which is closer to the main air path inlet connection end A, and can reduce the influence of the flow disturbance caused by the airflow passing through the adapter on the respiratory mechanics measurement parameters.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effect of this application is 7: the respiratory mechanics sensor is set near the main airway inlet connection A, and / or the respiratory mechanics sensor is set near the main airway outlet connection B; multiple respiratory mechanics sensors can be flexibly integrated, which facilitates more refined detection of respiratory mechanics parameters and reduces airflow disturbance caused by the adapter.

[0052] The adapter body has an opening at the top for the respiratory mechanics sensor to be assembled into the adapter body; the adapter body has an opening at the top and an opening sealing device is provided above the opening.

[0053] like Figures 8 to 13 The respiratory mechanics sensor includes a flow sensor 300 based on the principle of heat flow sensing, whose sensing part 310 is a hollow flow sensor used to measure gas flow through airflow; the respiratory mechanics sensor is located on the side near the main airway inlet connection A; or the respiratory mechanics sensor is located on the side near the main airway outlet connection B.

[0056] like Figures 8 to 10In the illustrated embodiment, the sensor interface 320 is disposed inside the hollow adapter body 110 for wireless connection with an external measurement module. It is used to independently output respiratory mechanics parameters.

[0057] like Figures 11 to 13 In one embodiment of an integrated adapter for gas concentration measurement and respiratory mechanics measurement, a bypass-type integrated adapter 200 for gas concentration measurement and respiratory mechanics measurement is provided on the upper part of the adapter body 210. The gas sampling interface 230 is used to connect to a gas measurement sampling tube. The gas measurement sampling tube is as follows: Figure 7 As indicated by the number 900. Figure 7 The reference numeral 800 is the gas sampling tube 900 and the gas circuit connection interface of the main unit, such as a monitor or anesthesia machine. The gas sampling interface 230 is located in the middle of the adapter body 210, and the respiratory mechanics sensor 300 is located at the front end of the gas sampling interface 230, closer to the main gas inlet connection terminal A211. This avoids the influence of bypass gas sampling on respiratory mechanics parameter measurements, enhancing the accuracy of respiratory mechanics measurements.

[0058] like Figures 10 to 13 In one embodiment of the integrated adapter for gas concentration measurement and respiratory mechanics measurement, a sensor interface 320 is further included. The sensor interface 320 is electrically connected to the sensing part 310 of the respiratory mechanics sensor 300.

The sensor interface 320 and the sensing part 310 can be integrally formed as the respiratory mechanics sensor 300. The sensor interface 320 can also be a separate component, not integrated with the sensing part 310. In other embodiments, the sensor interface 320 is disposed inside the hollow adapter body 210 and is used for wireless connection with an external measurement module. It is used to output respiratory mechanics parameters independently. When the sensor interface 320 is disposed inside the hollow adapter body 210, it can also be part of the adapter measurement control module; the adapter measurement control module can be integrated with the adapter.

The metabolic parameter calculation module calculates the real-time flow rate of a single gas as real-time airway flow rate × real-time single gas concentration value; and calculates the metabolic amount of a single gas in each respiratory cycle based on the real-time flow rate of the single gas. Based on the aforementioned metabolic measurement device based on the fusion of gas concentration and respiratory mechanics parameters, the real-time flow rate of a single gas includes carbon dioxide gas flow rate, oxygen gas flow rate, and anesthetic gas flow rate; wherein carbon dioxide gas flow rate = real-time airway flow rate × real-time carbon dioxide gas concentration value; oxygen gas flow rate = real-time airway flow rate × real-time oxygen gas concentration value; and anesthetic gas flow rate = real-time airway flow rate × real-time anesthetic gas concentration value. Integrating over time yields the aforementioned gas metabolic amounts for the expiratory and inspiratory phases. Furthermore, the metabolic amounts for multiple time periods, such as per minute and per hour, can be calculated, providing objective quantitative parameters for various gas metabolisms.

[0063] like Figure 14 As shown in the figure, the waveforms of respiratory gas concentrations and real-time airway flow rates for three different gases are displayed. The four different gases are carbon dioxide (CO2), oxygen (O2), and the anesthetic gas desflurane (DES). Figure 15 As shown in the figure, the real-time flow rate and airway flow waveforms for three different respiratory gas concentrations are displayed. Based on the real-time gas concentration waveforms at each respiratory beat, the corresponding respiratory mechanics and metabolic parameters for each respiratory beat can be calculated, allowing for real-time assessment of metabolic parameters according to the respiratory beat; this provides richer metabolic parameter data for critical clinical monitoring.

[0064] This metabolic measurement device, based on the fusion of gas concentration and respiratory mechanics parameters, includes a main control module, a gas concentration measurement module, a respiratory mechanics parameter measurement module, a metabolic parameter calculation module, and an integrated adapter for gas concentration and respiratory mechanics measurements. The sensing element of the respiratory mechanics sensor is housed within the hollow adapter body.
