Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a microcirculation monitoring device, belonging to the technical field of microcirculation monitoring. Background Art

[0002] At present, in the field of microcirculation monitoring, the acquisition of stable images is a basic and critical step. The acquisition of unstable images will cause interference and misjudgment in the subsequent analysis. However, when the existing microcirculation monitoring device acquires sublingual microcirculation images, it encounters the problem of physiological tremor of the patient's tongue. This tremor is natural and difficult to control, which causes interference and obstruction to image acquisition and also limits the promotion of sublingual microcirculation monitoring devices. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art, the utility model provides a sublingual microcirculation monitoring device for preventing physiological shaking of the tongue. A tongue fixing device is provided, which cooperates with a sublingual microcirculation image acquisition microscope to prevent tongue shaking and can conveniently acquire stable sublingual microcirculation images.

[0004] The utility model is realized through the following technical scheme: a sublingual microcirculation monitoring device for preventing physiological shaking of the tongue, comprising a sublingual microcirculation image acquisition microscope, a computer device and a tongue fixing device, the sublingual microcirculation image acquisition microscope comprising a microscope host, the microscope host is electrically connected to the computer device, a slender probe is installed at the front end of the microscope host, and the tongue fixing device is a device used to fix the tongue to prevent the tongue from shaking and cooperate with the slender probe to obtain a stable microcirculation image.

[0005] As an embodiment, the tongue fixing device is a negative pressure type fixer, which includes a tongue suction cover and a negative pressure machine or an air pump. The tongue suction cover is connected to the negative pressure machine or the air pump through a hose, and the front end opening of the tongue suction cover forms a tongue suction opening for fixing the tongue.

[0006] As an embodiment, the tongue fixing device is a negative pressure type fixer, which includes a tongue suction sleeve and an air bag. The tongue suction sleeve is connected to the air bag through a connecting tube, and the front end opening of the tongue suction sleeve forms a tongue suction opening for fixing the tongue.

[0007] The shape of the suction tongue opening is circular, oval or rectangular.

[0008] The edge of the suction tongue opening is provided with a circle of soft sleeve.

[0009] As an embodiment, the tongue fixing device is a tongue clamp.

[0010] As an improvement, the utility model also includes an image stabilization and probe pressure control device, which includes a positioning device installed on the slender probe, the positioning device includes a front end of the positioning device and a rear end of the positioning device, both of which are sleeves, and the front end of the positioning device and the rear end of the positioning device have through holes in the center, allowing the slender probe or the slender probe disposable conical protection device to pass through the through holes, and the rear end of the positioning device is close to the microscope host; the front end of the positioning device and the rear end of the positioning device are fixed as a whole or connected in parts; the positioning device can reciprocate along the axial direction of the slender probe of the imaging device host and be fixed after being adjusted to a suitable position.

[0011] As an improvement, the elongated probe is externally covered with a disposable probe protective cover.

[0012] As an improvement, the external cover of the microscope mainframe is provided with an integral body protective cover, and the elongated probe passes through the integral body protective cover.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the utility model is provided with a tongue fixing device, which cooperates with a sublingual microcirculation image acquisition microscope to prevent the tongue from shaking, and can conveniently acquire stable sublingual microcirculation images.

[0014] Firstly, the utility model solves a most basic entry problem of sublingual microcirculation monitoring, namely, whether the image shakes or drifts significantly. If this problem is not solved, all the analyses will have no basis.

[0015] Secondly, various microcirculation analysis methods can only play a role after the basic image stabilization problem is solved.

[0016] The utility model combines a microcirculation observation instrument with a tongue fixing device to prevent the tongue from shaking, and can conveniently collect stable sublingual microcirculation images, that is, no matter how uncontrolled physiological shaking of the patient's tongue is, all stable sublingual microcirculation images can be obtained.

[0017] With this complete stable image, sepsis can be diagnosed at an ultra-early stage. It can distinguish sepsis from general inflammation such as SIRS, and solve the problem of distinguishing sepsis from uncomplicated infection.

[0018] Only with this stable image can the gold standard of infusion based on individual differences in the human body, which the medical community has long hoped to find, be achieved (currently, both open and restrictive infusions use empirical formulas to roughly calculate the infusion volume, and cannot accurately calculate the infusion volume based on individual differences).

[0019] With this stable image, the question of which is better, crystalloid or colloid, which has been debated in the medical community for a long time and has no answer to date, can be resolved. The answer is that no matter which fluid is used, as long as the infusion reaches the point where the pulse blood flow weakens, it should be stopped. If the infusion reaches the point where the pulse blood flow disappears, pulmonary edema, heart failure, etc. may occur, which need to be prevented as soon as possible.

[0020] In short, the combined use of the tongue fixation device and the microcirculation observation instrument produces a new effect that has never been achieved when either of them is used alone, that is, all patients can monitor a stable sublingual microcirculation image, thereby making it possible to judge high-speed blood flow or pulsatile blood flow.

[0029] like Figure 1-Figure 3 A sublingual microcirculation monitoring device for preventing physiological tremors of the tongue is shown, comprising a sublingual microcirculation image acquisition microscope 2, a computer device 3 and a tongue fixing device. The sublingual microcirculation image acquisition microscope 2 comprises a microscope host 2-1, which is electrically connected to the computer device 3. A slender probe 2-2 is installed at the front end of the microscope host 2-1. The tongue fixing device is a device used to fix the tongue to prevent the tongue from shaking and cooperate with the slender probe 2-2 to obtain a stable microcirculation image.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, as an embodiment, the tongue fixing device is a negative pressure type fixer 1, which includes a tongue suction cover 1-1 and a negative pressure machine or air pump 1-6. The tongue suction cover 1-1 is connected to the negative pressure machine or air pump 1-6 through a hose 1-5, and the front end opening of the tongue suction cover 1-1 forms a tongue suction port 1-4 for fixing the tongue. This embodiment uses the negative pressure machine or air pump 1-6 to generate negative pressure, and the tongue suction port 1-4 at the front end of the tongue suction cover 1-1 sucks the front part of the tongue 4 to prevent shaking. It is only necessary to align the tongue suction cover 1-1 with the tongue, and the negative pressure machine or air pump provides negative pressure.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, as an embodiment, the tongue fixing device is a negative pressure type fixer 1, which includes a tongue suction cover 1-1 and an air bag 1-3. The tongue suction cover 1-1 is connected to the air bag 1-3 through a connecting tube 1-2, and the front end of the tongue suction cover 1-1 is opened to form a tongue suction opening 1-4 for fixing the tongue. In this embodiment, the air bag 1-3 is pinched by hand, and the tongue suction opening 1-4 at the front end of the tongue suction cover 1-1 contains the front part of the tongue 4, and then the hand releases the air bag to generate negative pressure to suck the tongue. It is easy to use.

[0032] The shape of the suction tongue openings 1-4 is circular, oval or rectangular.

[0033] The edge of the suction tongue opening 1-4 is provided with a circle of soft cover 1-7 made of silica gel or rubber.

[0034] As an embodiment, the tongue fixing device is a tongue clamp.

[0035] As an improvement, the utility model also includes an image stabilization and probe pressure control device 5, which includes a positioning device installed on the slender probe 2-2, the positioning device includes a front end and a rear end of the positioning device, both of which are sleeves, and the front end and the rear end of the positioning device have through holes in the center, which allow the slender probe 2-2 or the slender probe disposable conical protection device to pass through the through holes, and the rear end of the positioning device is close to the microscope host 2-1; the front end of the positioning device and the rear end of the positioning device are fixed as a whole or connected separately; the positioning device can reciprocate along the axial direction of the slender probe of the imaging device host and be fixed after being adjusted to a suitable position. The device will not over-compress the blood vessels to cause blood stasis artifacts, and finally form a qualified image.

[0036] As an improvement, the elongated probe 2-2 is covered with a disposable probe protective cover 6 to prevent cross infection.

[0037] As an improvement, the external cover of the microscope mainframe 2-1 is provided with an integral body protection cover 7, and the elongated probe 2-2 passes through the integral body protection cover 7 to prevent cross infection.

[0038] When in use, before the slender probe of the sublingual microcirculation image acquisition microscope 2 is inserted into the patient's oral cavity, the patient is asked to stick out his tongue, and then the tongue is fixed with a tongue fixing device, and the tongue is kept in this position for at least 20 seconds. After the tongue is fixed with the tongue fixing device, the top of the slender probe is immediately inserted into the sublingual mucosa. At this time, since the tongue is fixed, the sublingual mucosa is also relatively fixed, so the slender probe can be stably attached to the mucosa. Furthermore, an image stabilization and probe pressure control device 5 can be added so that the probe will not excessively compress the blood vessels to cause blood stasis artifacts, and finally a qualified image is formed, which is then analyzed.

[0039] The above description is only an exemplary embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
