Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of biomedical engineering, and in particular to a postoperative delirium prediction system and method based on electroencephalogram signals. Background Art
[0002] Postoperative delirium is a common postoperative complication, which manifests as confusion, cognitive impairment and behavioral disorders, seriously affecting the patient's recovery and quality of life. With the aging of the population, the number of elderly patients undergoing surgery is increasing worldwide, and the incidence of postoperative delirium is rising accordingly. The shortage of medical resources and medical staff makes timely and effective delirium prediction and intervention more important. Traditional delirium monitoring methods often rely on the subjective judgment of medical staff, with large errors and lags. With the development of artificial intelligence and biomedical technology, objective monitoring and prediction systems using physiological data such as EEG and heart rate variability have gradually become a new technical means, which is expected to play an important role in the early prediction and prevention of postoperative delirium, improve the quality of postoperative care for patients, reduce the incidence of complications, and reduce the burden on the medical system.
[0003] Existing postoperative delirium risk prediction mostly relies on the experience of clinicians and the patient's preoperative health status. This method has the problems of strong subjectivity and low accuracy. It is usually difficult for doctors to track the changes in patients' physiological signals in real time before, during and after surgery, and it is not easy to accurately capture the early warning signs of postoperative delirium. In addition, the causes of postoperative delirium are complex and changeable, and a single physiological parameter is not easy to provide a comprehensive basis for judgment. Existing methods are often not easy to fully consider the individual differences of patients, resulting in inaccurate diagnosis and even misjudgment. Traditional evaluation methods are limited to surface symptom analysis and fail to deeply analyze important physiological indicators such as patients' EEG activity and heart rate variability, which can easily lead to some high-risk patients not being identified in time, thereby increasing the risk of postoperative complications.

[0070] In this embodiment, the EEG signal acquisition module combines EEG equipment and heart rate monitor to capture the patient's EEG activity and heart rate changes in real time. The design of this module effectively improves the efficiency of physiological signal acquisition, making the basic data for subsequent analysis more reliable, and thus provides strong support for the timely identification of delirium risk. The central processing module removes noise through a bandpass filter, and decomposes the signal using fast Fourier transform FFT to generate multi-band brain wave power data. Compared with traditional methods, this module realizes the automation and efficiency of data processing, which not only enhances the accuracy of data analysis, but also manages data efficiently through the time series database InfluxDB, making the analysis and comparison of historical data possible.

[0073] The signal acquisition unit is used to monitor the patient's brain electrical activity using an EEG device, place electrode patches on the patient's scalp in the main brain area, record brain wave activities in different frequency bands in real time, obtain a brain wave signal set, and then monitor heart rate changes in real time through a heart rate monitor to obtain the patient's heart rate HR;
[0074] The data transmission unit is used to transmit the acquired brain wave signal set and the patient's heart rate HR to the central processing module via a wireless network.
[0075] In this embodiment, the design of the EEG signal acquisition module realizes accurate monitoring and data processing of the patient's EEG activity and heart rate changes through the effective collaboration of the signal acquisition unit, the data synchronization unit and the data transmission unit. The signal acquisition unit is equipped with standard electrodes to ensure the accurate recording of brain wave activity and to capture brain wave signals of different frequency bands in real time. At the same time, the heart rate data is obtained in real time through the heart rate monitor, which enhances the comprehensiveness of physiological signals. The data synchronization unit assigns accurate timestamps to each physiological signal, and synchronizes the heart rate data with the EEG signal through the interpolation algorithm, so that different signals have a high degree of consistency within the time window, ensuring the reliability of data analysis. The data transmission unit efficiently transmits the collected data to the central processing module through a wireless network, greatly improving the efficiency of data processing.

[0101] In this embodiment, the historical medication acquisition unit systematically collects the patient's medication history, including important information such as drug type, dosage and frequency of use, by accessing the hospital information system HIS. This process ensures a comprehensive understanding of the patient's medication situation, so that risk assessment can be based on real medical data, thereby effectively identifying drug factors that may cause delirium. At the same time, the patient cognitive assessment unit uses the brief mental state examination scale MMSE for standardized assessment, which can timely understand the patient's cognitive function status.

[0114] When the comprehensive delirium risk index ZFX is less than the preset delirium risk threshold A, it means that the patient's historical medication and cognitive behavior have no effect on postoperative delirium, and normal monitoring should be maintained at this time;
[0115] When the comprehensive delirium risk index ZFX ≥ the preset delirium risk threshold A, it means that the patient's historical medication and cognitive behavior have an impact on postoperative delirium. At this time, the system generates an adjustment plan and iteratively evaluates the adjustment plan through the delirium analysis module until the patient's postoperative delirium prediction reaches a safe level.
[0116] In this embodiment, through the drug risk analysis unit and comprehensive analysis unit of the deep analysis module, a comprehensive evaluation and intervention of the patient's medication and cognitive behavior are achieved, which significantly improves the accuracy and effectiveness of postoperative care. The calculation of the drug impact risk index Yfx provides a scientific basis for evaluating the potential impact of drugs on delirium risk, and the derivation of the comprehensive delirium risk index ZFX integrates multi-dimensional physiological data, cognitive scores and medication history to form a comprehensive risk assessment system. This system can not only identify high-risk patients in a timely manner and take targeted intervention measures, thereby reducing the incidence of postoperative delirium. In addition, through continuous monitoring and iterative evaluation, personalized care plans can be provided to patients to ensure that patients maintain a good cognitive state during the postoperative rehabilitation process, thereby improving the overall quality of life and safety of patients.

[0118] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a method for predicting postoperative delirium based on electroencephalogram signals, comprising the following steps:
[0119] S1, using EEG equipment and heart rate monitor to monitor the patient's brain electrical activity and heart rate changes in real time, obtain brain wave signal set and patient's heart rate HR, and transmit the brain wave signal set and patient's heart rate HR to S2 via a wireless network;
[0120] S2, receiving the brain wave signal set and the patient's heart rate HR in real time, preprocessing the brain wave signal set, obtaining the brain wave power data set, and then storing the brain wave power data set and the patient's heart rate HR in the time series database InfluxDB;
[0121] S3.
