[0042] In the field of modern medicine, ventilators play an irreplaceable and important role in rescuing and treating patients with respiratory failure. The following are the importance and clinical value of ventilators:

[0043] 1. The importance of ventilators

[0044] a) Treatment of acute respiratory failure: Ventilator is the core means of treating acute respiratory failure such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), severe pneumonia, and acute lung injury. It can quickly restore the patient's ventilation and oxygenation function and save lives.

[0045] b) Maintaining stable vital signs: In the intensive care unit (ICU), many critically ill patients have unstable vital signs. The ventilator can provide continuous mechanical ventilation support to help maintain the patient's vital signs stable.

[0046] c) Assisted anesthesia and surgery: During general anesthesia and complex surgery, the ventilator ensures the normal functioning of the patient's respiratory function and reduces the risk of respiratory distress during anesthesia and surgery.

[0047] d) Treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic respiratory diseases: For patients with acute exacerbation of chronic respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and neuromuscular diseases, ventilators can effectively reduce the respiratory burden and improve symptoms.

[0048] 2. Clinical value

[0049] a) Efficient ventilation support: The ventilator can provide sufficient and controllable airway pressure and ventilation volume to ensure that the patient has adequate oxygen supply and carbon dioxide removal.

[0050] b) Precise control of respiratory parameters: Parameters such as tidal volume, respiratory rate, inspiratory pressure and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can be accurately adjusted to meet the individual needs of different patients.

[0051] c) Stable airway management: Ensure airway patency through endotracheal intubation or tracheotomy to effectively prevent the risk of upper airway obstruction and aspiration.

[0052] d) Real-time monitoring and alarm: Modern ventilators are equipped with advanced monitoring and alarm systems that can monitor respiratory parameters in real time, detect and alarm abnormalities in a timely manner, and ensure patient safety.

[0053] e) Assisted treatment of complex cases: In complex cases that require a high level of respiratory support, the ventilator can provide continuous and reliable ventilation support, which cannot be replaced by other means of respiratory support.

[0054] At present, when using a ventilator, the ventilator parameters are adjusted mainly based on the doctor's own clinical experience and observation of the patient's physiological characteristics. However, it is difficult for the doctor to accurately grasp the ventilation conditions of each area of ​​the lungs based on experience and observation alone. Therefore, relying on the doctor's own clinical experience and observation of the patient's physiological characteristics, it is impossible to accurately adjust the ventilator parameters, which can easily lead to problems such as local underventilation or overventilation.

[0055] In addition, inaccurate adjustment of ventilator parameters may lead to the following possible clinical complications, in addition to easily causing local hypoventilation or hyperventilation:

[0056] 1. Barotrauma: Over-expansion of alveoli due to improper ventilator parameter settings (such as excessive tidal volume or pressure).

[0057] 2. Volume injury: Mechanical damage to lung tissue caused by excessive ventilation.

[0058] 3. Atelectasis: Partial collapse of alveoli, usually due to inadequate or uneven ventilation.

[0059] 4. Ventilator-associated pneumonia: bacterial infection caused by long-term use of ventilator.

[0060] 5. Respiratory fatigue and ventilator dependence: Improper ventilator parameter settings may cause excessive or light burden on the respiratory muscles.

[0061] 5. Hemodynamic instability: Inappropriate PEEP and tidal volume settings may affect intrathoracic pressure and affect the function of the heart and great vessels.

[0062] Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a ventilator adjustment method based on electrical impedance imaging, which can improve the accuracy of ventilator parameter adjustment and help reduce the probability of complications. Please refer to the following embodiments for details.

[0063] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 1 is a flow chart of a first embodiment of a ventilator adjustment method based on electrical impedance imaging provided by the present application. The method comprises:

[0064] Step 110: Use the EIT device to collect chest electrical impedance data in real time.

[0065] Step 120: Obtaining an impedance value of the target lung region image based on the chest electrical impedance data.

[0066] Step 130: Obtain ventilator parameters using the ventilator.

[0067] Step 140: Input the ventilator parameters and the impedance value of the target lung region image into the trained mathematical model to obtain the ventilation parameter prediction value output by the trained mathematical model.

[0068] Step 150: Adjusting the parameters of the ventilator based on the predicted ventilation parameters.

[0069] In this way, this embodiment uses the EIT device to collect chest electrical impedance data in real time, so as to obtain the impedance value of the target lung area image based on the chest electrical impedance data, and then inputs the impedance value of the target lung area and the ventilator parameters into the trained mathematical model, uses the trained mathematical model to predict the ventilation parameter prediction value, and adjusts the parameters of the ventilator based on the ventilation parameter prediction value. Since the ventilation parameter prediction value is predicted by the trained mathematical model based on the chest electrical impedance data collected by the EIT device in real time, the ventilation parameter prediction value can be considered as the optimal ventilation parameter under the current respiratory state. Therefore, adjusting the ventilator parameters according to the ventilation parameter prediction value can improve the accuracy of the ventilator parameter adjustment.

[0070] Refer to the second embodiment of the ventilator adjustment method based on electrical impedance imaging provided in this application. The method includes:

[0071] Step 210: Use the EIT device to collect chest electrical impedance data in real time.

[0072] Step 220: Reconstruct the chest electrical impedance data using a finite element method to generate a real-time lung ventilation distribution image.

[0073] Step 230: Segment the lung ventilation distribution image to obtain a target lung region image.

[0074] Among them, image segmentation methods can be used to distinguish different areas of the lungs, such as ventilation areas, restricted areas, or front and back, left and right, up and down areas, and the impedance value changes and ventilation uniformity of each area can be calculated based on the chest electrical impedance data collected in real time by the EIT equipment.

[0075] In some embodiments, before segmenting the lung ventilation distribution image, the lung ventilation distribution image may be first denoised to obtain a denoised lung ventilation distribution image; and then the denoised lung ventilation distribution image may be segmented to obtain a target lung area image.

[0076] For step 220 and step 230, reconstructing the chest electrical impedance data using the finite element method may include geometric modeling, boundary condition setting, forward problem solving, and inverse problem solving. By repeatedly optimizing the conductivity distribution, a lung ventilation distribution image of the target lung area can be reconstructed.

[0077] The specific process may include the following:

[0078] 1) Create a geometric model of the target lung region. For example, a two-dimensional or three-dimensional mesh can be defined, where the nodes and elements of the mesh will be used to discretize the target lung region.

[0079] 2) Divide the geometric model into a finite number of units (such as triangles or tetrahedrons). These units form a finite element mesh.

[0080] 3) Arrange electrodes on the boundaries of the geometric model and define the locations where current is applied and voltage is measured.

[0081] 4) Apply boundary conditions, including electrode positions, current injection, and voltage measurement modes.

[0082] 5) Define an objective function for the difference between the measured voltage and the calculated voltage.

[0083] 6) Select an appropriate optimization algorithm to minimize the objective function. Commonly used optimization algorithms include gradient descent, Newton's method, conjugate gradient method, etc.

[0084] 7) Using the conductivity distribution σ obtained by the final inversion, the electrical impedance image of the target lung area is reconstructed, and by visualizing the conductivity distribution, an EIT image, i.e., a lung ventilation distribution image, is generated to display the internal structure and characteristics.

[0085] 8) Through the optimization process, the conductivity distribution σ is continuously adjusted to reduce the objective function value.

[0086] 9) Repeat the iteration until the objective function converges to an allowable error range and obtains the final conductivity distribution map.

[0087] This can help doctors understand the ventilation status of the patient's lungs more intuitively, thereby optimizing ventilator parameters, reducing the occurrence of complications, and improving treatment effects.

[0088] Step 240: Obtaining an impedance value of the target lung region image based on the chest electrical impedance data.

[0089] Step 250: Obtain ventilator parameters using the ventilator.

[0090] Wherein, step 250 may include the following:

[0091] Step 251: using a ventilator to collect real-time ventilation data;

[0092] Step 252: Obtain ventilator parameters based on the real-time ventilation data.

[0093] In some embodiments, the ventilation data includes tidal volume and airway pressure, and the ventilator parameters include respiratory cycle and mean airway pressure.

[0094] The step of obtaining ventilator parameters based on the real-time ventilation data may include the following steps:

[0095] Step 2521: Based on the changes in the airway pressure and / or the tidal volume, obtain the time points of the start and end of breathing.

[0096] Among them, tidal volume can refer to the amount of gas inhaled or exhaled per breath; airway pressure can refer to the pressure measured in the airway.

[0097] Since the airway pressure increases and the tidal volume increases at the beginning of inhalation, and the airway pressure returns to the PEEP level and the tidal volume returns to zero at the end of exhalation, the start and end time points of breathing can be obtained based on the changes in the airway pressure and / or the tidal volume.

[0098] Step 2522: Based on the time points when breathing starts and ends, obtain the breathing cycle.

[0099] The breathing cycle refers to a complete breathing process, including the time required for one inhalation and one exhalation. Specifically, the time interval between the start of two adjacent inhalations or the end of two adjacent exhalations can be measured, and the time interval can be considered as the breathing cycle.

[0100] Step 2523: Obtain the airway pressure of all sampling points in the breathing cycle.

[0101] Step 2524: Use the integration or discrete average method to calculate the average airway pressure of all sampling points in the respiratory cycle to obtain the average airway pressure.

[0102] Among them, mean airway pressure (MAP) refers to the average value of airway pressure in one respiratory cycle.

[0103] In other embodiments, the ventilation data may further include positive end-expiratory pressure, etc., and the ventilator parameters may further include peak pressure, etc.

[0104] Among them, Peak Pressure refers to the maximum value of airway pressure during a breath.

[0105] Step 260: Input the ventilator parameters and the impedance value of the target lung region image into the trained mathematical model to obtain the ventilation parameter prediction value output by the trained mathematical model.

[0106] Among them, the parameter feature vector can be established through the chest impedance data obtained by the EIT device and the real-time ventilation parameters obtained by the ventilator to represent the current respiratory state, and then the trained mathematical model can be used to output the ventilation parameter prediction value corresponding to the current respiratory state.

[0107] Step 270: Adjust the parameters of the ventilator based on the predicted ventilation parameter values.

[0108] Refer to the third embodiment of the ventilator adjustment method based on electrical impedance imaging provided by this application. The method includes:

[0109] Step 310: Use the EIT device to collect chest electrical impedance data in real time.

[0110] Step 320: Obtaining the impedance value of the target lung region image based on the chest electrical impedance data.

[0111] Step 330: Obtain ventilator parameters using the ventilator.

[0112] Step 340: Input the ventilator parameters and the impedance value of the target lung region image into the trained mathematical model to obtain the ventilation parameter prediction value output by the trained mathematical model.

[0113] Step 350: Adjust the parameters of the ventilator based on the predicted ventilation parameter values.

[0114] Step 360: Determine whether the effect of the adjusted ventilator parameters on the lung ventilation state meets the expected requirements.

[0115] Step 370: If the effect of the adjusted ventilator parameters on the lung ventilation state does not meet the expected requirements, continue to adjust the ventilator parameters within the preset range of the ventilation parameter prediction value until the expected requirements are met.

[0116] Among them, the ventilator parameters can be adjusted first according to the predicted values ​​of the ventilation parameters. If the effects of the adjusted ventilator parameters on the lung ventilation state do not meet the expected requirements, the predicted values ​​of the ventilation parameters can be gradually increased or decreased within the preset range, thereby making subtle adjustments to the ventilator parameters.

[0117] Among them, the expected requirements may be to maintain the lung conductivity distribution within a certain range or to minimize airway pressure fluctuations.

[0118] Since each patient has different physical fitness, after determining the predicted values ​​of ventilation parameters, the adaptive control algorithm can be used to adjust the ventilator parameters in real time based on the feedback of the EIT image (i.e., lung ventilation distribution image) on the basis of the predicted values ​​of ventilation parameters to obtain the optimal ventilation parameter values, thereby making the lung conductivity distribution meet the expected requirements. In other words, a personalized respiratory support plan can be provided according to the specific situation of each patient to optimize the treatment effect, thereby reducing the probability of complications such as barotrauma, volume trauma, atelectasis and ventilator-associated pneumonia.

[0119] The adaptive control algorithm may be an adaptive algorithm such as a recursive least squares method, a Kalman filter, etc. Thus, the model parameters may be continuously optimized by using an adaptive algorithm such as a recursive least squares method, a Kalman filter, etc.

[0120] Since the EIT device can provide real-time and dynamic lung ventilation information, this application, in combination with the use of the EIT device during ventilator treatment, can help doctors accurately adjust ventilator parameters, optimize respiratory support strategies, reduce the occurrence of complications, and improve treatment outcomes.

[0121] Among them, step 310, step 320, step 330, step 340 and step 350 have the same or similar technical solutions as the above embodiments, and are not described in detail here.

[0124] 2) Using the training set of the ventilator parameters and chest electrical impedance data, the mathematical model to be trained is trained to obtain a trained mathematical model.

[0126] In terms of software, the present application may include: a data acquisition module, an image reconstruction and processing module, an intelligent control algorithm module, and a user interface module.

[0129] The intelligent control algorithm module is used to realize adaptive control and feedback control and optimize ventilator parameters.
