Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical information technology, and in particular to a method, device and equipment for predicting postoperative pulmonary complications based on diaphragm function. Background Art

[0002] Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are common clinical problems after thoracoabdominal surgery in adults, significantly affecting the patient's recovery process and increasing mortality. Especially in the first week after surgery, patients are at high risk of PPCs. Although there are currently a variety of scoring systems for predicting PPCs, due to the complexity and diversity of perioperative clinical factors, the prediction efficiency of these systems is not ideal, limiting their widespread application in clinical practice.

[0003] As the most important respiratory muscle in the human body, the diaphragm is responsible for 60% to 70% of respiratory function during quiet breathing. However, diaphragmatic function is susceptible to interference from a variety of factors, including disuse atrophy caused by excessive mechanical ventilation support, sepsis, surgical injuries, and the use of specific drugs (such as sedatives and muscle relaxants). Patients with diaphragmatic dysfunction may face serious consequences such as difficulty in weaning from mechanical ventilation, respiratory failure, poor prognosis, prolonged hospitalization, and increased mortality.

[0004] Previous studies have shown that surgery has a significant impact on diaphragm function, and surgery-induced diaphragm dysfunction is one of the main causes of postoperative PPCs. For example, impaired diaphragm function is common in lung resection, cardiac surgery, and spinal surgery. However, there is still a lack of research on the impact of liver resection on diaphragm function and its correlation with the occurrence of PPCs. It is worth noting that the liver is closely connected to the diaphragm through the falciform ligament. During liver resection, perihepatic free manipulation often leads to damage to the diaphragmatic bundle. Therefore, evaluating diaphragm function is of great clinical significance for predicting PPCs after liver resection.

[0005] At present, diaphragm ultrasound has become the preferred method for clinical evaluation of diaphragm function due to its advantages such as simple operation and non-invasiveness. Diaphragm-related indicators obtained by ultrasound, such as diaphragm thickness (DT), diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF), diaphragm displacement (DE), and diaphragm-related shallow rapid breathing index (such as DTF-RSBI, DE-RSBI), can reflect the functional status of the diaphragm to a certain extent. Among them, the research on DE and DTF is relatively mature, and there is a consensus that when the diaphragm movement is less than 1 cm or the diaphragm thickening fraction is less than 20% to 36%, diaphragm dysfunction may exist and is associated with a series of adverse consequences. However, the specific cutoff values ​​in different studies and populations may vary, and the measurement results are easily affected by the subjective factors of the operator and have certain biases.

[0006] In addition, the existing diaphragm function indices mainly reflect the obstruction of diaphragm contraction, but cannot quantify the decrease in diaphragm mass caused by diaphragmatic bundle damage. In order to overcome this limitation, quantitative ultrasound technology has been applied to lung ultrasound and skeletal muscle ultrasound. As an emerging quantitative technology, diaphragm echo density can quantify and reflect the degree of damage to the diaphragmatic bundle. Therefore, incorporating diaphragm echo density into the evaluation system has important research value and clinical significance for comprehensively and accurately evaluating diaphragmatic function and predicting the occurrence of PPCs after hepatectomy.

[0007] Therefore, a method, device and equipment for predicting postoperative pulmonary complications based on diaphragm function are proposed. Summary of the invention

[0070] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the principle of a method for predicting postoperative pulmonary complications based on diaphragmatic function provided in an embodiment of this specification, the method may include:

[0071] S110: Acquire ultrasound information at multiple time points; the multiple time point ultrasound information includes ultrasound information of the left diaphragm before surgery, ultrasound information of the left diaphragm 24 hours after surgery, and ultrasound information of the right diaphragm 48 hours after surgery;

[0072] Optionally, the method for obtaining the preoperative left diaphragm ultrasound information and the postoperative left diaphragm ultrasound information 24 hours later includes:

[0073] Preoperative and 24-hour postoperative ultrasound images of the left diaphragm were acquired by a linear array probe in superficial musculoskeletal mode with a dynamic range of 50% and a depth of 5 cm.

[0074] In a specific embodiment of the present specification, an ultrasound device is used and set to "superficial musculoskeletal" mode, which is suitable for high-resolution imaging and can clearly show muscle, bone and soft tissue structures. The linear array probe is properly mounted on the ultrasound device and ensures that its marker (usually a small mark or arrow) points to the side of the patient's head, which helps ensure consistency and directionality of image acquisition.

[0075] The linear array probe is used to scan from the intersection of the mid-axillary line and the costal margin, sliding up and down, and observing the image changes on the ultrasound display screen to obtain three clear high-brightness shadows. These three high-brightness shadows usually represent the three main parts of the diaphragm: the crura, the center of the diaphragm, and the dome of the diaphragm, which together constitute the complete structure of the diaphragm.

[0076] Optionally, the method for obtaining the ultrasound information of the right diaphragm 48 hours after the operation includes:

[0077] The ultrasound fusion images of liver viscera and diaphragm were obtained by using a convex array probe in the abdominal ultrasound mode.

[0078] Based on the ultrasound fusion image of the liver visceral layer and the diaphragm, the right diaphragm movement degree was obtained 48 hours after the operation through a convex array probe in M ​​mode.

[0079] In a specific embodiment of the present specification, the change in the mobility of the diaphragm reflects the functional state of the diaphragm, such as diaphragmatic paralysis, diaphragmatic weakness or diaphragmatic hernia. Set the ultrasound device to "abdominal ultrasound" mode, which is suitable for examining the structure and function of abdominal organs and tissues. Use a convex array probe and make sure its marking point points to the patient's head to maintain consistency of direction when acquiring images. Place the convex array probe at the intersection of the right costal margin and the midclavicular line, and slide the probe left and right from here to find a clear image of the liver. While sliding the probe, observe the changes in the image on the ultrasound display. When the probe moves to the liver area, a clear image of the liver should be seen. The fused image of the liver's visceral layer and the diaphragm is a bright shadow wrapped around the outside of the liver. This image shows the close relationship between the liver and the diaphragm and can be used to evaluate the mobility of the diaphragm.

[0080] Once a clear fusion image is obtained, select M mode (motion mode) to observe the movement of the diaphragm. In M mode, the movement of the diaphragm will appear as a series of vertical lines, and the spacing of these lines indicates the distance the diaphragm moves. Ask the patient to take a deep breath and try to keep the direction of the diaphragm movement perpendicular to the direction of the probe. This will help to measure the diaphragm movement more accurately. In M mode, observe and record the maximum movement distance of the diaphragm during deep inspiration. This distance is the diaphragm movement. Of course. The diaphragm movement can also be measured by measuring the spacing of the vertical lines in M ​​mode or using the built-in measurement tool of the ultrasound device.

[0081] S120: analyzing the left diaphragm ultrasound image before the operation and the left diaphragm ultrasound image 24 hours after the operation to obtain the left diaphragm echo density;

[0082] Optionally, the S120 includes:

[0083] Inputting the preoperative left diaphragm ultrasound image and the postoperative left diaphragm ultrasound image 24 hours later into the image processing model to obtain the preoperative left diaphragm echo density and the postoperative left diaphragm echo density 24 hours later;

[0084] Based on the left diaphragm echo density before surgery and the left diaphragm echo density 24 hours after surgery, the left diaphragm echo density is obtained, specifically:

[0085] ΔLED85[24-0]=LED85

[24] -LED85[0]

[0086] Among them, ΔLED85[24-0] represents the echo density of the left diaphragm, LED85

[24] represents the echo density of the left diaphragm 24 hours after surgery, and LED85[0] represents the echo density of the left diaphragm before surgery.

[0087] S130: obtaining a diaphragm function assessment result based on the left isolated echo density and the right diaphragm ultrasound information 48 hours after the operation;

[0088] Optionally, the S130 includes:

[0089] S=a+b*DE

[48] +c*ΔLED85[24-0]

[0090] Wherein, S represents the diaphragm function assessment result, DE

[48] represents the right diaphragm movement 48 hours after surgery, and a, b, and c are all constant coefficients.

[0091] In a specific embodiment of the present specification, historical data is obtained and divided into a PPCs group and a non-PPCs group according to whether the patient develops pulmonary complications within 7 days after surgery. The PPCs group includes all patients who develop pulmonary complications within 7 days after surgery; the non-PPCs group includes all patients who do not develop pulmonary complications within 7 days after surgery. As shown in Table 1, all diaphragm ultrasound measurement indicators in the two groups are compared, including diaphragm thickness, diaphragm mobility, diaphragm echo density, etc. A t-test is used to compare whether there is a significant difference in the means between the two groups. A chi-square test (or Fisher's exact test, if the sample size is small) is used to compare whether there is a significant difference in the proportions between the two groups. According to the results of the t-test and chi-square test, indicators with a p value of less than 0.05 are screened out. These indicators are considered to be significantly different between the two groups and may be related to the occurrence of pulmonary complications. The screened indicators with significant statistical differences are used as independent variables (predictor variables), and whether pulmonary complications (PPCs / non-PPCs) occur as dependent variables (response variables).

[0094]

[0095] As shown in Table 2, using the obtained regression coefficients, i.e., a, b, and c, a logistic regression equation S = a + b*DE

[48] + c*ΔLED85[24-0] can be constructed, which can be used to predict the probability of new patients developing pulmonary complications.

[0098] Through binary logistic regression, we can get a=0.222, b=-1.726, and c=0.029. Specifically, S=0.222-1.726*DE

[48] +0.029*ΔLED85[24-0].

[0099] S140: Predicting the risk level of postoperative pulmonary complications based on the diaphragm function assessment results, and generating a risk response strategy.

[0100] Optionally, the S140 includes:

[0101] Determining whether the diaphragm function assessment result meets a preset value;

[0102] When the diaphragm function assessment result meets the preset value, the risk level of the postoperative pulmonary complications is low risk, and a low-risk coping strategy is generated;

[0103] When the diaphragm function assessment result does not meet the preset value, the risk level of the postoperative pulmonary complications is high risk, and a high-risk coping strategy is generated.

[0104] In a specific implementation of the present specification, the preset value may be -1.86. If the diaphragm function evaluation result is greater than or equal to the preset value -1.86, it is judged as a low risk. If the diaphragm function evaluation result is less than the preset value -1.86, it is judged as a high risk.

[0105] For patients judged to be at low risk, a relatively relaxed postoperative care and rehabilitation plan can be formulated, focusing on the patient's overall recovery and preventing other possible complications. For patients judged to be at high risk, a more stringent and detailed postoperative care plan needs to be formulated, including strengthening respiratory function training, closely monitoring respiratory function indicators, and timely intervention and treatment, in order to reduce the risk of postoperative pulmonary complications.

[0106] In the present invention, diaphragm ultrasound, as a non-invasive monitoring technology, will not cause additional harm to the patient, making this method particularly applicable in postoperative monitoring, because it can not only ensure the safety of the patient, but also provide real-time diaphragm function evaluation. The evaluation method of diaphragm ultrasound is simple and easy to learn, which reduces the difficulty of operation and human errors. The doctor only needs to observe the morphology and movement of the diaphragm through ultrasound equipment to obtain key evaluation parameters. When predicting PPCs, the method based on diaphragm ultrasound requires fewer parameters to be obtained, and does not need to be combined with other complex indicators for evaluation, which simplifies the prediction process and improves the prediction efficiency. At the same time, since this method directly evaluates the diaphragm function, it can more accurately reflect the respiratory function status of postoperative patients, thereby effectively predicting the occurrence of PPCs.
