Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medical devices, relates to hemodynamic detection equipment, and specifically relates to a pulmonary artery flotation catheter based on FBG sensing technology. Background Technique
[0002] Pulmonary hypertension refers to a hemodynamic and pathophysiological state in which the pulmonary artery pressure rises above a certain threshold, which can lead to right heart failure. It can be an independent disease, a complication, or a syndrome, and has gradually become a cardiovascular disease that has attracted much attention, with a very high late-stage fatality rate. In 1970, the pulmonary artery flotation catheter (also known as the SWAN-GANZ catheter or PC catheter) began to be used clinically. It can measure the pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, and at the same time can monitor the pressure and its subtle changes at some specific sites in the cardiovascular system. By monitoring these physiological indicators, the real-time pulmonary artery pressure of the patient can be measured, and the cardiovascular function status of the patient can be judged.
[0003] The pulmonary artery flotation catheter has three advantages: fewer ventricular arrhythmias, can be quickly inserted into the pulmonary artery, and does not require X-ray fluoroscopy. It has currently become the clinical standard for detecting pulmonary artery pressure. The flotation catheter is inserted through puncture of the cubital vein, femoral vein, internal jugular vein, or subclavian vein, and then enters the right atrium and right ventricle through the superior or inferior vena cava, and reaches the pulmonary artery through the guidance of the head gas balloon, so as to measure the pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure.
[0004] In existing pulmonary artery flotation catheter products, there are mainly two pressure measurement methods. One is to directly measure using a pressure sensor, but the price is relatively expensive; the other is to draw blood from different sites out of the body and then measure the pressure through a pressure measurement device. This method has a pressure difference problem, and there will be a certain deviation in the measured pressure data. Moreover, most pulmonary artery flotation catheter products are purchased abroad, with a relatively high price and difficult sources. The existing pulmonary artery flotation catheter products can no longer meet the increasing clinical needs.
[0005] FBG was first applied by NASA to the strain measurement of aerospace structures. It entered the stage of mature application around 2000. Its full name is Fiber Bragg Grating, that is, an optical fiber Bragg grating, which is a grating with a periodic spatial phase distribution formed in the core. The essence of its function is to form a narrow-band (transmission or reflection) filter or mirror in the core. When the temperature and stress states in the FBG area change, the Bragg wavelength changes accordingly in real time. The temperature measurement accuracy of FBG can reach 0.1K, and the strain measurement accuracy can reach 1 microstrain. The sampling rate ranges from a few Hz to a few kHz, and basically can achieve real-time data transmission. There can be multiple FBG gratings on one optical fiber, each working independently with its Bragg wavelength as a marker, forming a serial sensor, that is, one optical fiber completes signal transmission, sensing, signal reading, wiring and maintenance are simple, and it is suitable for multi-point temperature and strain measurement in space-constrained areas.
[0006] Most of the current mainstream pulmonary artery flotation catheters come from Edwards Company in the United States. There are 1 - 6 cavity openings at the top of the pulmonary artery flotation catheter, so there are types of double-cavity to seven-cavity balloon flotation catheters. The most commonly used products currently are five-cavity balloon flotation catheters and six-cavity balloon flotation catheters. As Figure 1 shown, there is an opening at the top of the flotation catheter connected to the distal pulmonary artery port, which is used for pressure detection or injection and aspiration. There is also a sensor at the top. There is a balloon around 1 mm from the tip of the flotation catheter, which is used to make the catheter "float" when inflated. There is another opening 30 cm from the tip connected to the proximal infusion port. There is a 11-cm-long thermal expansion coil at 14 cm from the tip for measuring CCO through temperature. In addition, there are markings at every 10-cm increment from the tip, which are used to assist catheter insertion.
[0007] There are six ports at the end of the catheter, which are used to connect various other devices, including:
[0008] ① Balloon inflation port
[0009] ② Distal pulmonary artery port
[0010] ③ Optical module connection port
[0011] ④ Proximal infusion port
[0012] ⑤ and ⑥ Thermistor connection port and hot wire connection port.
[0013] This flotation catheter (Swan-Ganz) is widely used in hospital clinics, mainly used to monitor pulmonary artery pressure and hemodynamic parameters to judge the cardiovascular function status of patients.
[0014] In the prior art, measuring pressure with a pulmonary artery flotation catheter requires drawing blood from different sites outside the body and then measuring the pressure through a pressure measuring device. This method has problems with pressure differences, the data will lag, and there will be certain deviations in the measured pressure data.
[0015] Most of the flotation catheter products are purchased from abroad. Restricted by foreign suppliers, they are expensive and difficult to obtain. The accuracy of domestic pressure sensors fails to meet clinical requirements, and the quantity of products cannot meet the growing clinical needs.
[0016] To solve the problems of pressure difference, difficult access, and high price of the pulmonary artery flotation catheter, this application intends to apply the FBG optical fiber sensing technology to the pressure measurement of the flotation catheter, and provide a domestic pulmonary artery flotation catheter, specifically a pulmonary artery flotation catheter based on the FBG sensing technology. Summary of the Invention

A hole is opened at the front end of the FBG cavity to expose at least one grating area on the FBG optical fiber. The tail end of the FBG cavity is connected to the FBG connector. When the pulmonary artery flotation catheter is delivered to the measurement point, the temperature sensor at the front end of the catheter body can detect the blood temperature at the measurement point. At least one FBG optical fiber located at different positions at the front end of the catheter body can detect the coupling value of temperature and pressure at the measurement point and is transmitted to the device through the FBG connector. After obtaining the measurement value, the HHO-KELM model in the device is used for decoupling, and the real-time pressure value here can be obtained.

The temperature sensor 31 at the front end of the catheter body 2 can detect the blood temperature at the measurement point, and the FBG optical fiber 32 at the front end of the catheter body 2 can detect the coupling value of temperature and pressure at the measurement point. Two FBG optical fibers 32 at different positions are selected in this application for measurement, which can ensure that at least one FBG optical fiber 32 can detect the true pressure of the blood. After obtaining the measurement value, the HHO-KELM model is used for decoupling, and the real-time pressure value here can be obtained. This application breaks through the limitations of foreign floating catheters, innovatively uses FBG optical fibers 32 for pressure measurement, with real-time and accurate data and low price, realizing localization.
[0068] The specific method for decoupling the FBG optical fiber data and the temperature sensor data by using the adaptive closed-loop HHO-KELM model to obtain the accurate pressure value is as follows:
[0069] Step 1: Data acquisition and preprocessing. Use the FBG optical fiber sensor to collect signal data containing temperature and pressure information, and use the temperature sensor to collect temperature signals. Perform low-pass filtering on the collected data.
[0070] Step 2: Initialize the kernel function and initial parameters, and construct the KELM model. Use the preprocessed FBG fiber optic sensor data as the input, and temperature and pressure as the output. The pressure output of the temperature parameter closed-loop correction model output by the temperature sensor is used to eliminate the error caused by the model during the signal detection process.
[0071] Step 2.1. Kernel function selection and parameter initialization
[0072] Use the radial basis function as the kernel function of KELM, and its mathematical expression is:
[0073] K(x i ,x j )=exp(-γ||x i -x j || 2 )
[0074] Among them, K(x i ,x j ) is the radial basis kernel function, ||·|| is the Euclidean distance, x i is the i-th sample, x j is the j-th sample, γ is the kernel parameter that controls the width of the kernel function. The relationship between the kernel parameter γ and the bandwidth parameter σ can be expressed as:
[0075]
[0076] Initialize the kernel function parameters and the bandwidth parameter γ0 = 0.5, σ0 = 1.0, and the initial value of the regularization coefficient C is C0 = 100.
[0077] Step 2.2. Define the input and output data structures
[0078] The input data matrix of the KELM model is the input matrix X ∈ R N×D formed by the preprocessed FBG sensor signal data, where N is the number of samples and D is the number of sensor channels. The output data matrix of the KELM model has the target outputs of temperature and pressure values, forming the matrix Y ∈ R N×2 , with the first column being the temperature value and the second column being the pressure value.
[0079] Step 2.3. Kernel matrix calculation and model construction
[0080] Based on the training data X and the initial parameter γ0, calculate the kernel matrix Ω ∈ R N×N , and the elements of the kernel matrix are:
[0081]
[0082] Among them, Ω ijis the kernel matrix element calculated for individuals i and j. Then, according to the KELM theory, calculate the output weight matrix β ∈ R N×2 :
[0083]
[0084] where I is the identity matrix.
[0085] Step 2.4. Model Output
[0086] Define the output function of KELM as:
[0087]
[0088] where is the output of KELM, i.e., the predicted pressure and temperature
[0089] The pressure output of the closed-loop correction model of the temperature parameter output by the temperature sensor:
[0090]
[0091] where P is the final output pressure of the model, and T measure is the temperature measured by the temperature sensor.
[0092] Step 3: Use the HHO algorithm to optimize the KELM model parameters. Use the HHO algorithm to optimize the kernel function parameters and regularization coefficients of the KELM model to obtain the optimal KELM model parameters. The flowchart of the optimized parameters is as Figure 8 shown.
[0093] Step 3.1. HHO Algorithm Parameter Setting
[0094] Set the number of Harris hawk individuals M = 50, define the maximum number of iterations T max = 100, and set the escape energy threshold E0 ∈ [0, 1]. The search range of the kernel parameter γ ∈ [10 -3 , 10 3 , and the search range of the regularization coefficient C ∈ [10 -3 , 10 3
[0095] For each Harris hawk individual i, i = 1, 2, …, M, randomly generate the parameter combinations of the kernel function parameter and the regularization coefficient (γ i , C i ):
[0096] γ i = γ min +(γ max -γ min )·rand(0,1)
[0097] C i = C min +(C max - C min )·rand(0,1)
[0098] where γ min and γ max are the lower and upper bounds of the search for the kernel parameter γ, C min and C max are the lower and upper bounds of the search for the regularization coefficient C, and rand(0,1) is a uniformly distributed random number.
[0099] Step 3.2. Fitness function design
[0100] Take the mean square error of the KELM model on the training set samples as the fitness value to minimize the prediction error:
[0101]
[0102] where Fitness(γ, C) is the fitness function used to evaluate the quality of the parameter combination (γ, C), y k is the true temperature and pressure value, is the model prediction value, k is the sample index, and N is the number of samples. For each Harris hawk individual (γ i , C i ), recalculate the kernel matrix Ω i and the weight matrix β i according to the formula in Step 2. Use the training data itself as the input to calculate the prediction value and calculate the fitness value Fitness i of this individual.
[0103] Step 3.3. Simulation of Harris hawk hunting behavior
[0104] Step 3.3.1 Escape energy update
[0105] In each iteration t, dynamically update the escape energy E to control the algorithm to switch from global exploration to local exploitation:
[0106]
[0107] where T max is the maximum number of iterations. When |E| ≥ 1, global exploration is performed and the prey has not been found. When |E| < 1, local exploitation is performed and the prey is surrounded.
[0108] Step 3.3.2 Global exploration phase
[0109] If |E| ≥ 1, the Harris hawk randomly searches for the prey's location, and the position update formula is expressed as:
[0110]
[0111] where X(t + 1) is the parameter position of the Harris hawk at the (t + 1)-th iteration, X(t) is the parameter position of the Harris hawk at the t-th iteration, represents the parameter combination (γ, C), X rand (t) is the parameter position of a random individual in the current population at the t-th iteration, X best (t) is the position of the current optimal individual at the t-th iteration, X mean (t) is the average position of the population at the t-th iteration, r1, r2, r3, r4 are random numbers within [0, 1], q is a random probability value, and L, U are the lower and upper limits of parameter search.
[0112] Step 3.3.3 Local development stage
[0113] If |E| < 1, according to the prey escape energy E and the random number r, where the range of the random number r is 0 to 1, select the following strategies:
[0114] Set soft enclosure, r ≥ 0.5 and |E| ≥ 0.5:
[0115] X(t + 1) = X best (t) - X(t) - E|JX best (t) - X(t)|
[0116] where J = 2(1 - r5) simulates the random jump intensity of the prey, and r5 ∈ [0, 1].
[0117] Set hard enclosure, r ≥ 0.5 and |E| < 0.5:
[0118] X(t + 1) = X best (t) - E|X best (t) - X(t)|
[0119] Set progressive rapid dive, r < 0.5 and |E| ≥ 0.5, generate a random vector S ∈ R 2 , and calculate the dive position:
[0120] X temp = X best (t) - E|JX best (t) - X(t)|
[0121]
[0122] where X temp is a temporary variable, and Levy() is the Levy flight random step size.
[0123] Set a quick dive attack, where r < 0.5 and |E| < 0.5:
[0124] X(t + 1) = X best (t) - E|X best (t) - X mean (t)|
[0125] Step 3.4. Parameter optimization and model update
[0126] Stop when reaching T max or when the fitness value converges. And record the global optimal individual X best = (γ opt , C opt ).
[0127] Step 4: Model training. Use the optimized KELM model to train the training data to ensure that the model can accurately extract temperature and pressure information.
[0128] Step 4.1 Input data division. Divide the data preprocessed in Step 1 into a training set D train and a validation set D val , and make the output matrices Y train and Y val of the training set and the validation set correspond one-to-one with the input data.
[0129] Step 4.2 Model parameter loading. Obtain the kernel parameter γ opt optimized by the HHO algorithm and the regularization coefficient C opt from Step 3. Based on the training set data D train and γ opt , recalculate the kernel matrix Ω train :
[0130] Ω train = exp(-γ opt ||x i - x j || 2 )
[0131] Use the optimized C opt to solve the weight matrix β opt :
[0132]
[0133] Adopt Cholesky decomposition to ensure the numerical stability of matrix inversion. Obtain the output trained function:
[0134]
[0135] Step 5: Use the trained adaptive HHO-KELM model to predict the measurement data to obtain the decoupled values of temperature and pressure.
