Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ventilator technology, and more specifically, to a ventilator expiratory control airway and control method. Background Technology

[0002] Existing ventilators are generally positive pressure ventilation ventilators, which are usually equipped with an expiratory control circuit. The expiratory control circuit typically consists of a control unit that works in conjunction with the positive pressure ventilation circuit, an execution terminal expiratory valve, and connecting tubing.

[0003] The main functions of expiratory airway control are:

[0004] During the positive pressure inspiratory phase, the inspiratory airflow is locked or pressure-limited to prevent airflow at normal ventilatory pressure from escaping through the expiratory pathway. This can be achieved through airflow locking, where all airflow flows into the patient; or through pressure limiting, where airflow at a preset pressure flows into the patient, and airflow exceeding this pressure is expelled. The latter is more adaptable to ventilatory function development and is safer, enabling the maintenance of constant airway pressure characteristics and ensuring pressure control while following the patient's re-inspiratory needs.

[0005] During the patient's expiratory phase, the system ensures that the expiratory airflow passes smoothly through the expiratory control system. It usually also includes an additional expiratory pressure control function, which can generate positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). This function allows doctors to set it according to the patient's condition to prevent some patients' alveoli from collapsing during exhalation, or to prevent some patients' airways from closing during exhalation, or to prevent the patient's respiratory organs from working in a state of poor compliance.

[0006] Common expiratory control methods include: passive pneumatic expiratory control devices, controllable pneumatic expiratory control devices, and controllable electromagnetic expiratory control devices.

[0007] The passive pneumatic expiratory control method utilizes the changes in positive pressure during the inspiratory and expiratory phases of ventilation, and through the structural valve diaphragm design, it can perform the functions of inspiratory locking and expiratory opening.

[0008] There are two common methods for controllable pneumatic exhalation control. One method usually uses the oxygen source that comes with the ventilator as the control power. By controlling the oxygen flow rate, pressure is taken from the front end of a specially designed overflow port to control the exhalation valve. The other method is to introduce the pressure of the main ventilation turbine into the exhalation valve through the air circuit design in the turbine ventilator to achieve the effect of pressure control.

[0009] The controllable electromagnetic exhalation control method uses electromagnetic force to generate set inhalation and exhalation locking pressures, and the pressure is controlled by the magnitude of the current.

[0010] The above-mentioned expiratory control methods also have the following disadvantages:

[0011] Passive pneumatic exhalation control, although simple in structure and low in cost, has limited functionality and is currently mainly used in artificial ventilation devices and simpler ventilators, which cannot meet the ventilation settings and monitoring requirements of more respiratory processes.

[0012] Controllable pneumatic exhalation control through oxygen control is a comprehensive function, but it has many structural components, and its function is limited by the oxygen source supply, which increases oxygen consumption. In certain scenarios, medical oxygen is scarce, and the disadvantages of ventilators are particularly prominent when used in scenarios without central oxygen supply.

[0013] By utilizing the controllable pneumatic exhalation control method of the main ventilation turbine, it can be used in the absence of an oxygen source and has a simple structure. However, since the main ventilation turbine cannot control the air flow and pressure at the same time, this method is difficult to solve the problem of following the patient's active inhalation needs while controlling the pressure ventilation, that is, to achieve the characteristic of ensuring constant airway pressure.

[0014] Controllable electromagnetic exhalation control solves the oxygen consumption problem and ensures constant airway pressure characteristics; however, compared with pneumatic methods, its waterproof and cleanliness requirements are usually more stringent, requiring the design of complex and precise structures; moreover, the technical characteristics of electromagnetic control usually require that the moving parts be placed inside the ventilator, which increases its complexity and reduces its reliability in order to prevent exhalation contamination; at the same time, it generally increases the size of the ventilator main unit, which is not conducive to the transfer of the ventilator.

[0015] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a ventilator expiratory control airway and control method to at least partially solve the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0016] The summary section introduces a series of simplified concepts, which will be further explained in detail in the detailed description section. The summary section of this invention is not intended to limit the key features and essential technical features of the claimed technical solution, nor is it intended to determine the scope of protection of the claimed technical solution.

[0017] To at least partially solve the above problems, the present invention provides a ventilator expiratory control airway, comprising: an expiratory airway, an airflow generating airway, and an overflow pressure control airway. One end of the expiratory airway is connected to the expiratory port of the ventilation airway, and the other end is selectively connected to the outlet side of the inspiratory control unit and one end of the overflow pressure control airway.

One end of the airflow generating airway is connected to the outside atmosphere, and the other end is connected to the overflow pressure control airway, thereby achieving positive end-expiratory pressure.

[0028] Preferably, when the inhalation control unit malfunctions, one end of the airflow generating path is connected to the air inlet side of the inhalation control unit, and the other end is connected to the air outlet side of the inhalation control unit.

[0039] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can implement it based on the description.

[0040] It should be understood that terms such as “having,” “comprising,” and “including” as used herein do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other elements or combinations thereof.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides an expiratory control airway for a ventilator, comprising: an expiratory airway 1, an airflow generating airway 2, and an overflow pressure control airway 3. One end of the expiratory airway 1 is connected to the expiratory port 41 of the ventilation airway 4, and the other end is selectively connected to the outlet side of the inspiratory control unit 53 and one end of the overflow pressure control airway 3. One end of the airflow generating airway 2 is selectively connected to the inlet side of the inspiratory control unit 53 and the outside atmosphere 6, and the other end is selectively connected to the outlet side of the inspiratory control unit 53 and one end of the overflow pressure control airway 3. The other end of the overflow pressure control airway 3 is connected to the outside atmosphere 6.

[0042] The ventilation circuit 4 has an inspiratory port 42 connected to the inspiratory control circuit 5, an expiratory port 41 connected to the expiratory control circuit, and an airway port 43 for patient ventilation. The ventilation circuit 4 has three connection ports: inspiratory port 42, expiratory port 41, and airway port 43. One of the following can be connected to the airway port 43: a face mask, endotracheal tube, nasal cannula, head mask, or nasal mask. Near the patient, the airway containing the airway port 43 is also equipped with a proximal pressure sensor, a proximal flow sensor, and an end-tidal carbon dioxide detector.

[0043] The inhalation control airway 5 includes: a ventilation air source 51, a ventilation control module 52, an inhalation control unit 53, a safety valve 54, a ventilation monitoring sensor 55, a ventilation check valve 56, and a ventilation filter 57 connected in sequence. The ventilation filter 57 is connected to the inhalation port 42 of the ventilation airway 4. The safety valve 54 can form a passage in the event of an accidental power failure, so that the patient's inhalation is not obstructed.

[0044] The intake control unit 53 uses a turbine, and the ventilation monitoring sensor 55 includes one or more combinations of a flow sensor, a pressure sensor, and a gas concentration sensor, wherein the gas concentration sensor includes at least an oxygen concentration sensor and a carbon dioxide concentration sensor.

[0045] During the inspiratory phase of ventilation, either the inspiratory flow lock mode or the inspiratory pressure lock mode can be selected to prevent the normal ventilatory pressure airflow from being discharged from expiratory pathway 1; during the expiratory phase of ventilation, the expiratory pressure control mode is used to achieve positive end-expiratory pressure.

[0046] like Figure 2As shown, when the inspiratory airflow lock mode is selected, one end of the expiratory airway 1 is connected to the expiratory port 41 of the ventilation airway 4, and the other end is connected to the outlet side of the inspiratory control unit 53, that is... Figure 2 As shown by the solid line, there is no airflow in the airflow generation path 2, and all the airflow in the inspiratory control path 5 flows to the patient to prevent the airflow at normal ventilation pressure from being discharged from the expiratory path 1.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, when the inspiratory pressure lock mode is selected, one end of the expiratory airway 1 is connected to the expiratory port 41 of the ventilation airway 4, and the other end is connected to the overflow pressure control airway 3. One end of the airflow generating airway 2 is connected to the outside atmosphere 6, and the other end is connected to the overflow pressure control airway 3. Figure 3 As shown by the solid line, the inspiratory control airway 5 provides the patient with an airflow at a preset pressure. If the airflow pressure provided to the patient exceeds the preset pressure, the airflow will pass through the expiratory airway 1 and be discharged from the overflow pressure control airway 3. If the airflow discharged from the expiratory airway 1 and the overflow pressure control airway 3 causes the airflow pressure provided to the patient to be less than the preset pressure, the flow rate of the gas discharged from the overflow pressure control airway 3 will be adjusted (e.g., adjusting the opening of the corresponding throttle valve), or a low-pressure airflow (the pressure of the low-pressure airflow is less than or equal to the airflow pressure discharged from the expiratory airway 1) will be provided to the expiratory airway 1 through the airflow generating airway 2 to reduce or prevent the gas from being discharged from the overflow pressure control airway 3, ensuring that the airflow pressure provided to the patient is maintained at the preset pressure, ensuring constant airway pressure, and improving the stability of the gas supply to the patient.

[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, during the expiratory phase of ventilation, an expiratory pressure control mode is used. One end of the expiratory airway 1 is connected to the expiratory port 41 of the ventilation airway 4, and the other end is connected to the overflow pressure control airway 3. One end of the airflow generating airway 2 is connected to the outside atmosphere 6, and the other end is connected to the overflow pressure control airway 3. Figure 4 The solid line shown indicates that during the end of expiration, a low-pressure airflow is generated through the airflow generating passage 2. Part of the airflow is discharged from the overflow pressure control passage 3, and part of the airflow is used to maintain the pressure of the expiratory passage 1 at the set pressure to achieve positive end-expiratory pressure. The pressure provided by the airflow generating passage 2 to the expiratory passage 1 is controlled by adjusting the airflow flow rate discharged from the overflow pressure control passage 3 or adjusting the airflow flow rate generated by the airflow generating passage 2 to achieve positive end-expiratory pressure.

[0049] When the inspiratory control unit 53 malfunctions and cannot provide airflow to the patient, the airflow generating airway 2 is used as a backup airway.

[0050] During the inspiratory phase of ventilation, such as Figure 5As shown, the airflow generating path 2 is switched so that one end is connected to the inlet side of the inhalation control unit 53, and the other end is connected to the outlet side of the inhalation control unit 53. The exhalation path 1 is connected to the exhalation port 41 of the ventilation path 4, and the other end is connected to the outlet side of the inhalation control unit 53. Figure 5 The solid line portion shown bypasses the inspiratory control unit 53 and provides airflow through the airflow generating air path 2. The ventilation air source 51 passes sequentially through the ventilation control module 52, the airflow generating air path 2, the safety valve 54, the ventilation monitoring sensor 55, the ventilation check valve 56, and the ventilation filter 57, which can realize the inspiratory airflow locking mode, that is, all the airflow flows to the patient, thus supplying air to the patient.

[0051] During the expiratory phase, such as Figure 4 As shown, the expiratory pressure control mode can still be used. One end of the expiratory airway 1 is connected to the expiratory port 41 of the ventilation airway 4, and the other end is connected to the overflow pressure control airway 3. One end of the airflow generating airway 2 is connected to the outside atmosphere 6, and the other end is connected to the overflow pressure control airway 3. Figure 4 The solid line portion is shown.

[0052] Through the above-described airway design, expiratory pressure control can be performed during the expiratory phase of ventilation, achieving positive end-expiratory pressure and zero oxygen consumption during operation; during the inspiratory phase of ventilation, inspiratory airflow locking or inspiratory pressure locking can be achieved, ensuring a constant airway pressure and guaranteeing the stability of ventilation for patients; in the event of a malfunction in the inspiratory control unit 53, ventilation can also be provided through the airflow generation airway 2 as a backup airway, ensuring the safety of ventilator use and buying time for medical staff to handle the situation.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the airflow generating air path 2 includes: an airflow generator 21, whose air inlet is connected to the air intake side of the intake control unit 53 and the outside atmosphere 6 through a first selection switch 22, and whose air outlet is connected to the air outlet side of the intake control unit 53 and one end of the overflow pressure control air path 3 through a second selection switch 23.

[0054] Furthermore, the airflow generator 21 is one of a turbine, a fan, a peristaltic pump, a reciprocating cylinder pump, or a gear pump.

[0055] Both the first selector switch 22 and the second selector switch 23 are high-flow two-position three-way valves. The first selector switch 22 can connect one end of the airflow generator 21 to the outside atmosphere 6 or to the air intake side of the intake control unit 53. The second selector switch 23 can connect the other end of the airflow generator 21 to the air outlet side of the intake control unit 53 or to the overflow pressure control air circuit 3.

[0056] like Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment, the exhalation airway 1 includes: a first control valve 11, a first throttle valve 12, a first pressure sensor 13, a safety control valve 14, and an exhalation valve 15 connected in sequence; the exhalation valve 15 is connected to the exhalation port 41 of the ventilation airway 4, and the first control valve 11 is connected to the outlet side of the inhalation control unit 53 and one end of the overflow pressure control airway 3, respectively.

[0057] The first control valve 11 and the safety control valve 14 are both two-position three-way valves. One end of the safety control valve 14 is connected to the outside atmosphere 6, and the exhalation valve 15 is a diaphragm valve.

[0058] The first throttle valve 12 is used to regulate the airflow rate of the expiratory airway 1, the first pressure sensor 13 is used to monitor the air pressure of the expiratory airway 1, the safety control valve 14 can switch to be connected to the outside atmosphere 6 in case of accidental power failure, thereby ensuring that the patient can exhale, the expiratory valve 15 is connected to the expiratory port 41 to ensure that the patient can exhale; the other end of the expiratory airway 1 can be connected to the outlet side of the inhalation control unit 53 through the first control valve 11, or the other end of the expiratory airway 1 can be connected to the overflow pressure control airway 3.

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the overflow pressure control airway 3 includes: a second throttle valve 31, one end of which is connected to the exhalation airway 1 and the airflow generating airway 2 respectively, and the other end is connected to the outside atmosphere 6.

[0060] The second throttle valve 31 is used to regulate the airflow rate discharged from the overflow pressure control airway 3, so that the airway pressure during inhalation or exhalation can be regulated through the overflow pressure control airway 3, ensuring the stability and safety of ventilation for patients.

[0061] like Figure 6 As shown, the present invention also provides a control method for the expiratory control airway of a ventilator, comprising:

[0062] During the inspiratory phase of ventilation, switch to inspiratory flow lock mode or inspiratory pressure lock mode to provide inspiratory flow for the patient during the inspiratory phase.

[0063] During the expiratory phase of ventilation, switch to expiratory pressure control mode to achieve positive end-expiratory pressure during the patient's expiratory phase.

[0064] When starting ventilation, you can select either the inspiratory flow lock mode or the inspiratory pressure lock mode, and then perform inspiratory phase control to maintain a constant airway pressure. When entering the expiratory phase, switch to the expiratory pressure control mode to perform expiratory phase control and achieve positive end-expiratory pressure. If the patient needs to continue ventilation, this cycle is repeated to ventilate the patient. When the patient no longer needs to continue ventilation, ventilation is stopped.

[0065] like Figure 2As shown, further, during the inspiratory phase of ventilation, when it is necessary to switch to the inspiratory flow lock mode, one end of the expiratory airway 1 is connected to the expiratory port 41 of the ventilation airway 4, and the other end is connected to the outlet side of the inspiratory control unit 53.

[0066] like Figure 3 As shown, further, during the inspiratory phase of ventilation, when it is necessary to switch to the inspiratory pressure lock mode, one end of the expiratory airway 1 is connected to the expiratory port 41 of the ventilation airway 4, and the other end is connected to the overflow pressure control airway 3. One end of the airflow generating airway 2 is connected to the outside atmosphere 6, and the other end is connected to the overflow pressure control airway 3.

[0067] like Figure 4 As shown, further, during the expiratory phase, when it is necessary to switch to the expiratory pressure control mode, one end of the expiratory airway 1 is connected to the expiratory port 41 of the ventilatory airway 4, and the other end is connected to the overflow pressure control airway 3. One end of the airflow generating airway 2 is connected to the outside atmosphere 6, and the other end is connected to the overflow pressure control airway 3, thereby achieving positive end-expiratory pressure.

[0068] The above control method enables the selection of inspiratory flow lock mode and inspiratory pressure lock mode during the inspiratory phase, allowing for the selection of a suitable inspiratory mode and ensuring constant airway pressure to guarantee the stability of ventilation for patients. During the expiratory phase, the system can switch to expiratory pressure control mode to control expiratory pressure, achieving positive end-expiratory pressure and zero oxygen consumption.

[0069] In one embodiment, when the inhalation control unit 53 malfunctions, one end of the airflow generating passage 2 is connected to the inlet side of the inhalation control unit 53, and the other end is connected to the outlet side of the inhalation control unit 53. One end of the exhalation passage 1 is connected to the exhalation port 41 of the ventilation passage 4, and the other end is selectively connected to the outlet side of the inhalation control unit 53 or one end of the overflow pressure control passage 3.

[0070] When the intake control unit 53 malfunctions, the intake control air path 5 cannot actively generate airflow, so the airflow generating air path 2 is used as a backup airflow generating air path. During the intake phase, if... Figure 5 As shown, the airflow is powered by the airflow generating path 2. The ventilation air source 51 passes sequentially through the ventilation control module 52, the airflow generating path 2, the safety valve 54, the ventilation monitoring sensor 55, the ventilation check valve 56, and the ventilation filter 57 to reach the inspiratory port 42, thus providing ventilation for the patient and enabling an inspiratory airflow lock mode. During the expiratory phase, as... Figure 4 As shown, positive end-expiratory pressure can be achieved through airflow generation path 2;

[0071] Through the above design, when the inspiratory control unit 53 malfunctions, the airflow generation path 2 can be used to temporarily ventilate the patient, ensuring the safety of the ventilator and buying time for medical staff to handle the situation.
