[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical alarm monitoring, and in particular to an alarm monitoring method and system based on patient type. Background Art

[0002] In the modern medical system, real-time monitoring and timely response to patients are key factors in ensuring their safety and health; especially in the field of neonatal care, since the range of physiological parameters of neonates is significantly different from that of adults, such as heart rate, respiratory rate and body temperature, and these parameters are easily affected by the external environment, the particularity of neonatal physiological characteristics and their high sensitivity to environmental changes require medical equipment designed for this group to have higher accuracy and reliability.

[0003] However, although some general medical monitoring devices currently on the market can provide basic vital signs tracking functions, they often lack sufficient intelligent processing capabilities to automatically identify and issue corresponding levels of alarm information when faced with specific situations such as flow sensor failure, improper connection, or measurement values ​​outside the preset range. As a result, medical staff are unable to immediately understand the possible health risks of the newborn, which in turn affects the choice of the best time for treatment.

[0004] Therefore, in order to help doctors grasp the immediate status of newborns more accurately, it is necessary to design an alarm monitoring method and system for special patient groups such as newborns, so as to effectively avoid the occurrence of potential crises through early warning mechanisms, thereby greatly improving the quality and efficiency of medical services. Summary of the invention

[0005] The main technical problem solved by the present invention is how to perform alarm monitoring on different types of patients, especially special types of patients such as newborns.

[0006] According to the first aspect, an embodiment provides an alarm monitoring method based on patient type, comprising:

[0007] Acquiring monitoring data obtained from monitoring patients;

[0008] Obtaining an alarm information table corresponding to the patient type of the patient, the alarm information table including one or more alarm items, each of the alarm items including an alarm message, and an alarm response option and / or an alarm level corresponding to the alarm message, and each alarm message is also associated with its corresponding alarm trigger condition; for any alarm item: the alarm information is used to identify the alarm item, the alarm response option is used to determine whether to perform an alarm action when the alarm trigger condition is triggered, and the alarm level is used to determine the action level when the alarm trigger condition is triggered to perform an alarm action; wherein different patient types correspond to different alarm information tables;

[0009] Alarm monitoring is performed based on the monitoring data obtained from monitoring the patient and the alarm information table corresponding to the patient type.

[0010] According to a second aspect, an embodiment provides an alarm monitoring system based on patient type, comprising: one or more sensors for acquiring monitoring data obtained by monitoring a patient;

[0011] A processor is used to obtain an alarm information table corresponding to the patient type of the patient, wherein the alarm information table includes one or more alarm items, each of which includes an alarm message, and an alarm response option and / or an alarm level corresponding to the alarm message, and each alarm message is also associated with its corresponding alarm trigger condition; for any alarm item: the alarm information is used to identify the alarm item, the alarm response option is used to determine whether to perform an alarm action when the alarm trigger condition is triggered, and the alarm level is used to determine the action level when the alarm trigger condition is triggered to perform an alarm action; wherein different patient types correspond to different alarm information tables; according to the monitoring data obtained from monitoring the patient and the alarm information table corresponding to the patient type, alarm monitoring is performed to obtain an alarm display list;

[0012] A display, for visually displaying the obtained alarm display list;

[0013] An alarm component, used to sound an alarm for the alarm information in the alarm display list, and the alarm component is used to adjust the light flashing frequency and the sound frequency of the alarm prompt sound according to the highest alarm level of all the alarm information in the alarm display list;

[0014] The memory is used to store computer programs, monitoring data, alarm information tables and alarm display lists.

[0015] According to an alarm monitoring method based on patient type in the above embodiment, the monitoring data obtained from monitoring the patient is first obtained, and then a corresponding alarm information table is designed based on the patient type to which the patient belongs. After the patient type is determined, a series of related alarm information can be automatically generated in the alarm information table. For example, the patient type of a newborn can automatically generate a series of alarm information related to monitoring equipment dedicated to the newborn. Such alarm information no longer needs to be manually added by the doctor, and the alarm items in the alarm information table corresponding to the patient can be adjusted according to the actual situation of the patient, so as to realize personalized customization of the alarm information table corresponding to a single patient. Then, based on the monitoring data obtained from monitoring the patient and the alarm information table corresponding to the patient type, it is determined whether the obtained monitoring data meets the alarm requirements of different alarm items in the alarm information table. The trigger conditions are combined with the corresponding alarm response options to obtain the alarm display list. Not only can the alarm content in the obtained alarm display list be displayed visually, but the alarm content can also be further prompted through alarm components, such as by adjusting the light flashing frequency, the sound frequency, etc., thereby completing the alarm monitoring and solving the problem that the existing medical equipment cannot perform intelligent alarm processing when abnormal conditions occur in different patient types. In addition, the volume adjustment of the alarm prompt sound is realized through the alarm volume setting interface, so that the doctor can set the minimum value of the alarm volume according to the actual use scenario to ensure that the minimum value of the alarm volume of medical monitoring equipment, such as ventilators, is different in different use environments. In this way, the volume of the alarm prompt sound can be adjusted more flexibly, solving the problem that the existing alarm prompt sound cannot change the volume;

[0016] According to the above-mentioned embodiment, an alarm monitoring system based on patient type is used to monitor the patient through one or more sensors to obtain monitoring data, and the obtained monitoring data is saved in a memory. The processor automatically generates a corresponding alarm information table according to the patient type to which the current patient belongs based on the computer program in the memory, and can also adjust the alarm items in the alarm information table according to the doctor's editing instructions to achieve personalized customization of the alarm information table; and judges whether the alarm trigger conditions of different alarm items in the alarm information table are met according to the monitoring data in the memory, and then obtains an alarm display list in combination with the corresponding alarm response options, and then visually displays the obtained alarm display list through the display. At the same time, the alarm component adjusts the light flashing frequency and the sound frequency of the alarm prompt sound according to the highest alarm level in the alarm display list to further prompt the patient's current physiological condition, thereby realizing alarm monitoring of the patient's current condition, so that when an abnormal situation occurs, an alarm prompt of the corresponding alarm level can be issued in time, thereby ensuring that the doctor can obtain the physiological conditions of different patient types, especially special patient types such as newborns, in time, and allows the doctor to directly jump to the alarm limit setting page to adjust parameters and other interface designs, which helps the doctor to respond and handle alarm situations more quickly, so that corresponding measures can be taken in time when an abnormal situation occurs.

[0023] The present invention is further described in detail below by specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Wherein similar elements in different embodiments adopt associated similar element numbers. In the following embodiments, many detailed descriptions are for making the present application better understood. However, those skilled in the art can easily recognize that some features can be omitted in different situations, or can be replaced by other elements, materials, methods. In some cases, some operations related to the present application are not shown or described in the specification, this is to avoid the core part of the present application being overwhelmed by too much description, and for those skilled in the art, it is not necessary to describe these related operations in detail, and they can fully understand the related operations according to the description in the specification and the general technical knowledge in the art.

[0024] In addition, the features, operations or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any appropriate manner to form various implementations. At the same time, the steps or actions in the method description can also be interchanged or adjusted in a manner that is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various sequences in the specification and the drawings are only for the purpose of clearly describing a certain embodiment and are not meant to be a required sequence, unless otherwise specified that a certain sequence must be followed.

[0025] The serial numbers of the components in this document, such as "first", "second", etc., are only used to distinguish the objects described and do not have any order or technical meaning. The "connection" and "coupling" mentioned in this application, unless otherwise specified, include direct and indirect connections (couplings).

[0026] Compared with adults / children, the body systems of newborns are not yet fully mature, especially the functions of the cardiopulmonary, nervous system, immune system and kidney systems are all underdeveloped to a certain extent. Existing neonatal medical monitoring equipment can often only provide basic vital signs tracking functions, and cannot intelligently handle abnormal situations. In addition, there is another most obvious difference between newborns and adults / children, that is, newborns cannot express their own physiological needs or discomfort and rely entirely on external observation to assess their health status. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out targeted design on existing equipment for different patient types, especially special patient types such as newborns, so as to effectively avoid the occurrence of potential crises through early warning mechanisms, thereby ensuring the quality and efficiency of medical services for special groups such as newborns.

[0027] In an embodiment of the present invention, first, relevant alarm information is obtained according to the patient type to which a single patient belongs. For example, when the patient type is a neonate, multiple alarm information including neonatal flow sensor failure, disconnection, measurement over-limit, monitoring closure, and type error are preset, and different alarm levels are set according to trigger conditions. Thus, the basic content in the alarm information table is obtained based on the patient type to which the patient belongs. Then, the alarm information table can be further designed in a targeted manner according to the actual situation of the patient, such as adding or deleting alarm information in the alarm information table, modifying the trigger conditions and alarm levels corresponding to a certain alarm information, and choosing whether to alarm a certain alarm information, so that different patient types have their corresponding alarm information tables, and then alarm monitoring is performed according to the obtained monitoring data and the alarm information table corresponding to each patient, thereby ensuring that doctors can obtain different patient types, especially the physiological conditions of neonates, in a timely manner.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, a patient type-based alarm monitoring method is provided, specifically comprising:

[0029] Step S100: Acquire monitoring data obtained from monitoring a patient.

[0030] In the actual monitoring process of patients, a variety of monitoring equipment will be used, such as ventilators, flow sensors, oxygen sensors, etc., thereby obtaining a variety of monitoring data;

[0031] Taking flow sensors as an example, the flow sensors used by adults and children are adult flow sensors, while due to the particularity of the physiological characteristics of newborns, the flow sensors used by newborns are neonatal flow sensors. Among them, neonatal flow sensors are medical devices specially designed to monitor the breathing and vital signs of newborns. They can be used to monitor the breathing rate, heart rate, blood oxygen concentration and other data of newborns.

[0032] It can be seen from this that the specific monitoring equipment used for different types of patients is not the same. Therefore, when performing alarm monitoring based on the obtained monitoring data, it is necessary to set corresponding alarm information according to different patient types.

[0033] Step S110: Obtain the alarm information table corresponding to the patient type to which the patient belongs.

[0034] First, the patient type to which the patient belongs is obtained. In this embodiment, the patient type is divided based on the patient's age. The patient type can be determined by obtaining the patient information and automatically determining the patient type based on the age field in the patient information. On the other hand, the patient type can also be determined in response to a patient type instruction input by the user. For example, the doctor can manually select the patient type. In this embodiment, the patients are divided into two patient types: newborns and adults / pediatrics.

[0035] Then, a corresponding alarm information table is determined based on the patient type, wherein the alarm information table includes one or more alarm items, each alarm item includes an alarm message, and an alarm response option and / or an alarm level corresponding to the alarm message, and each alarm message is also associated with its corresponding alarm trigger condition;

[0036] For any alarm item, the alarm information in the alarm item is used to identify the alarm item, wherein each alarm information is also associated with the graphic information of the alarm information, and the graphic information is used to prompt the solution of the alarm information; the alarm response option is used to determine whether to perform an alarm action when the alarm trigger condition is triggered, corresponding to Figure 3 In the "Whether to alarm" column, when the alarm trigger condition is met, if the alarm response option is selected, the alarm information corresponding to the alarm trigger condition is output, so that the alarm content can be obtained later according to the alarm information corresponding to the alarm trigger condition; otherwise, the corresponding alarm information is ignored, that is, the alarm information corresponding to the alarm trigger condition is not output; and the alarm level is used to determine the action level when the alarm trigger condition is triggered to perform an alarm action. In this embodiment, the alarm levels include high, medium, low and prompt. The higher the alarm level, the more attention the corresponding alarm information needs to be paid;

[0037] Due to the particularity of the physiological characteristics of newborns, the monitoring equipment used for newborns includes monitoring equipment dedicated to newborns. Therefore, when designing the corresponding alarm information table, the alarm information table corresponding to the newborn should at least include the relevant alarm information of these dedicated monitoring equipment;

[0038] Taking the neonatal flow sensor as an example, when the patient type is a neonate, the alarm information table of this patient type includes at least the following differences from the alarm information tables of other patient types: the alarm information in the alarm information table of this patient type includes neonatal flow sensor failure, neonatal flow sensor not connected, neonatal flow sensor measurement out of limit, neonatal flow sensor monitoring closed, and neonatal flow sensor type error; wherein, when the alarm information is neonatal flow sensor failure, the corresponding alarm trigger condition is that the neonatal flow sensor hardware module is successfully connected but the module is abnormal, and the corresponding alarm level is high; when the alarm information is that the neonatal flow sensor is not connected, the corresponding alarm trigger condition is that the neonatal flow sensor hardware module is not connected, and the corresponding alarm level is high; when the alarm information is that the neonatal flow sensor measurement out of limit, the corresponding alarm trigger condition is that the monitoring flow-related parameters during neonatal ventilation exceed the measurement range, and the corresponding alarm level is intermediate; when the alarm information is that the neonatal flow sensor monitoring is closed, the corresponding alarm trigger condition is that the neonatal module monitoring switch is closed, and the corresponding alarm level is prompt; when the alarm information is that the neonatal flow sensor monitoring is closed, the corresponding alarm trigger condition is that the neonatal flow sensor type is wrong, and the corresponding alarm level is low;

[0039] When the patient type is adult / pediatric, the corresponding alarm information table should not contain the alarm information corresponding to the monitoring equipment dedicated to neonates, that is, the fault content related to the neonatal flow sensor needs to be shielded;

[0040] Therefore, in this embodiment, when the patient type is determined, the corresponding alarm item will be automatically generated in the corresponding alarm information table, so that different patient types correspond to different alarm information tables;

[0041] In addition, the alarm information table of the patient type can also be edited in response to an editing instruction for the alarm information table of the patient type, so as to realize customization of the alarm information table of a single patient, wherein the editing instruction includes at least one of the following: an adding instruction for adding a new alarm item in the alarm information table; a deleting instruction for deleting the selected alarm item in the alarm information table; an alarm response setting instruction for setting an alarm response option to determine whether to perform an alarm action when an alarm triggering condition is triggered; an alarm level setting instruction for setting an alarm level to determine the action level when an alarm action is performed when an alarm triggering condition is triggered;

[0042] Assuming that the patient type of the current patient is a newborn, the "newborn" label in the alarm information table corresponding to the patient is selected, and the alarm item corresponding to the monitoring equipment dedicated to the newborn is automatically generated in the alarm information table; taking the newborn flow sensor as an example, Figure 3As shown, at this time, the alarm item corresponding to the neonatal flow sensor will be automatically generated in the alarm information table; then the alarm information table for a single patient is customized by receiving the user's editing instruction for the alarm information table:

[0043] When you need to add a new alarm item, click the [Add Alarm Information] button in the lower right corner to automatically open the alarm information column, such as Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the alarm information column contains more alarm items. You can select the corresponding alarm item according to the actual situation. After selecting an alarm item in the alarm information column, click the [OK] button to copy the alarm item to the alarm information table, thereby adding the alarm item to the alarm information table, wherein the alarm response option corresponding to the alarm item is selected by default, and the alarm level corresponding to the alarm item is consistent with its alarm level in the alarm information column; for example, assuming that you need to add an alarm item corresponding to the alarm information "apnea ventilation", after selecting the alarm item, click the [OK] button, and then an alarm item corresponding to the alarm information "apnea ventilation" will be added to the alarm table corresponding to the current patient. At this time, the alarm response option of the alarm item is selected, and the corresponding alarm level is high, which is the same as the alarm level of the alarm item in the alarm information column;

[0044] When you need to delete the selected alarm item, click the [Delete] button at the bottom left to delete the selected alarm item from the alarm information table;

[0045] In addition, the alarm level and alarm response options in each alarm item can be set by oneself, such as through the alarm response setting instruction, that is, setting the alarm response option to a selected state or an unselected state, thereby setting the alarm response option to determine whether to perform an alarm action when the alarm trigger condition is triggered; or through the alarm level setting instruction, that is, for an alarm item, different alarm levels are set by adjusting the alarm level in the alarm item to determine the action level when the alarm trigger condition is triggered to perform an alarm action; after adjusting different alarm items in the alarm information table through editing instructions, the resulting alarm information table can more flexibly adapt to different clinical needs and doctors' working habits;

[0046] Since the present embodiment firstly automatically generates relevant alarm items in the alarm information table based on the patient type to which a single patient belongs, and then adds, deletes, sets the alarm level, and sets the alarm response options in the alarm information table according to the actual situation of the patient, the alarm information table corresponding to the single patient is personalized, so that different patient types correspond to different alarm information tables, including at least the following situations:

[0047] The alarm information tables corresponding to different patient types contain at least alarm items with different alarm information; the alarm information tables corresponding to different patient types contain alarm items with the same alarm information but different alarm triggering conditions; the alarm information tables corresponding to different patient types contain alarm items with the same alarm information but different alarm response options; the alarm information tables corresponding to different patient types contain alarm items with the same alarm information but different alarm levels, etc.

[0048] Step S120: Perform alarm monitoring based on the monitoring data obtained from monitoring the patient and the alarm information table corresponding to the patient type.

[0049] Determine whether the obtained monitoring data meets the alarm triggering conditions of each alarm information in the alarm information table corresponding to the patient type to which the patient belongs; in the alarm information table, each alarm information is also associated with the graphic information of the alarm information, and the graphic information is used to prompt the solution measures of the alarm information. There are mainly two types of alarm information in this embodiment, one is a physiological alarm, that is, an alarm caused by abnormal physiological indicators of the patient, such as high minute ventilation, high respiratory rate, etc., and the other is a technical alarm, that is, an alarm caused by hardware or system abnormalities, such as pipe detachment, system leakage, etc.; among them, the graphic information of physiological alarms and technical alarms will prompt the corresponding solutions, and some physiological alarms also provide an [Alarm] button, such as Figure 5 As shown in the figure, when the minute ventilation is high and causes an alarm, the alarm information belongs to a physiological alarm. In addition to prompting the solution to the alarm information, the corresponding graphic information will also prompt the patient's status and ventilation parameter settings. If necessary, click the button to adjust the minute ventilation high alarm limit setting. There will also be an [Alarm] button, which can jump to the alarm limit setting page and directly locate the corresponding alarm limit parameters so that the corresponding alarm limit parameters can be adjusted;

[0050] It should be noted that some alarm information is relatively intuitive, for example, the positive end-expiratory pressure is too high. Such alarm information does not require graphic information to prompt, so for the sake of ease of description, this embodiment considers that the graphic information of such alarm information is empty;

[0051] Then, for any alarm information that meets the alarm triggering condition, it is determined whether to perform an alarm action according to the alarm response option corresponding to the alarm information. When the alarm information needs to perform an alarm action, the alarm content corresponding to the alarm information is obtained according to the alarm information and its corresponding graphic information, that is, each alarm content includes an alarm information and the graphic information corresponding to the alarm information, and all alarm contents constitute an alarm display list;

[0052] Then, the obtained alarm display list is visualized in the alarm display area. In this process, for any alarm content in the alarm display list, the color of the alarm information is first set according to the alarm level of the alarm information in the alarm content. For example, when the alarm level is high, the corresponding alarm information is set to red; when the alarm level is medium, the corresponding alarm information is set to yellow; when the alarm level is low or prompt, the corresponding alarm information is set to blue;

[0053] Then, after sorting according to the alarm level and alarm time corresponding to each alarm content in the alarm display list, for example, first sorting from high to low according to the alarm level corresponding to each alarm content, if there are different alarm contents with the same alarm level, these alarm contents are sorted according to the order of the alarm time, and then the various alarm contents in the alarm display list are displayed according to the obtained sorting result. Except for the first alarm content, the remaining alarm contents can be hidden or displayed, that is, the entire alarm display list will only display the alarm information corresponding to the first alarm content; for alarm contents with graphic information, the graphic information corresponding to each alarm content can be hidden and / or displayed, that is, only the alarm information in each alarm content can be displayed, and the corresponding graphic information can be hidden;

[0054] like Figure 5 As shown in the figure, if there is a triangle on the right side of the alarm information corresponding to the current alarm content, when the triangle is a downward triangle, it means that there is hidden content in the current alarm information. After clicking the downward triangle, the triangle will automatically become an upward triangle and display the hidden content; after clicking the downward triangle again, the hidden content will be displayed; among them, if the current alarm content is the first alarm content, the triangle on the right side of its alarm information can be used to display or hide other alarm contents, and the total number of alarm contents will also be displayed on the triangle, such as Figure 5 As shown, in Figure 5 The first alarm content in the alarm is "positive end-expiratory pressure is too high", and the number "4" is displayed on the triangle mark on the right, indicating that the alarm display list contains a total of 4 alarm contents at this time; the interface design of hiding / displaying the color, sequence and graphic information of different alarm contents in the alarm display list can enable doctors to view and process alarm information more conveniently, thereby improving work efficiency and safety;

[0055] In addition, when the obtained alarm display list is displayed visually, the light flashing frequency and the sound frequency of the alarm prompt sound are adjusted according to the highest alarm level of all the alarm information in the alarm display list, so as to further alarm the alarm information in the alarm display list;

[0056] Some monitoring equipment, such as ventilators, need to issue a prompt sound at all times to remind the patient of the current physiological condition. During the actual monitoring process, if the environment is noisy, the alarm prompt sound may be ignored due to the relatively small volume, resulting in the doctor's inability to pay attention to the patient's physiological condition in time; if the environment is quiet, the same alarm prompt sound will sound louder. Although this can ensure that the doctor can respond in time, the excessive volume may disturb the patient's rest and even cause discomfort and anxiety to the patient; however, the existing monitoring equipment does not have the function of adjusting the volume of the alarm prompt sound, and it cannot adapt to different environmental requirements. Therefore, this embodiment is also designed with an alarm volume setting interface, such as Figure 6 As shown, the volume range of the alarm tone is adjusted by using the preset threshold as the minimum volume, wherein the minimum volume is 20% of the maximum volume by default, and the adjustment step length for each increase or decrease of the volume is 20% of the maximum volume. The preset threshold can be set according to the actual environment;

[0057] For example, the environment is relatively noisy during the day. In order to ensure that the volume of the alarm prompt sound is sufficient to attract the attention of the doctor, the preset threshold can be set to 60%, that is, the minimum value of the volume of the alarm prompt sound is set to 60%. Then, when the alarm is actually sounded, the volume range of the alarm prompt sound will only be adjusted within the range of 60% to 100%, and the volume will not be adjusted to the range of 20% to 60%. This can prevent the doctor from mistakenly adjusting the alarm prompt sound to a lower volume when the environment is noisy, resulting in the phenomenon that the doctor cannot pay attention to the patient's physiological condition in time. The environment is relatively quiet at night, but the occurrence of environmental noise caused by emergency situations such as emergency treatment cannot be ruled out. That is, in most cases, the volume of the alarm prompt sound does not need to be too high at night. Therefore, the minimum value of the alarm prompt sound can be set to a smaller volume, such as 20%, and the corresponding volume range of the alarm prompt sound can be expanded. The volume can be adjusted to a lower volume when the environment is relatively quiet at night, so that the volume of the alarm prompt sound will not disturb the patient's rest, and the volume can be adjusted to a higher volume when the environment is relatively noisy at night, so that the doctor can pay attention to the patient's physiological condition in time.

[0058] The present embodiment first obtains the monitoring data obtained from monitoring the patient, and then designs a corresponding alarm information table based on the patient type to which the patient belongs. After the patient type is determined, a series of related alarm information can be automatically generated in the alarm information table. For example, the patient type of a newborn can automatically generate a series of alarm information related to monitoring equipment dedicated to the newborn. Such alarm information no longer needs to be manually added by the doctor, and the alarm items in the alarm information table corresponding to the patient can be adjusted according to the actual situation of the patient, so as to realize the personalized customization of the alarm information table corresponding to a single patient. Then, based on the monitoring data obtained from monitoring the patient and the alarm information table corresponding to the patient type, it is determined whether the obtained monitoring data meets the requirements of different alarm items in the alarm information table. The alarm trigger conditions of the alarm items are combined with the corresponding alarm response options to obtain the alarm display list. Not only can the alarm content in the obtained alarm display list be displayed visually, but the alarm content can also be further prompted through alarm components, such as by adjusting the light flashing frequency, sound frequency, etc., thereby completing alarm monitoring and solving the problem that the existing medical equipment cannot realize intelligent alarm processing for abnormal situations. In addition, the volume of the alarm prompt sound can be adjusted through the alarm volume setting interface, so that the doctor can set the minimum alarm volume according to the actual usage scenario to ensure that the minimum alarm volume of medical monitoring equipment, such as ventilators, is different in different usage environments, further improving the practicality and reliability of the present application.
