Description

[0002] Blood oxygen monitoring refers to the monitoring of blood oxygen saturation, which is the percentage of the volume of oxygen combined with hemoglobin in the human blood (specifically, arterial blood) to the total volume of hemoglobin that can be combined, and is an important physiological parameter in the respiratory and circulatory system. The blood oxygen saturation of a normal human body should reach more than 95%, and if the blood oxygen saturation is too low, it can cause brain damage and even threaten life safety. Blood oxygen monitoring is involved in various clinical situations, such as surgery or monitoring.

[0003] Cerebral oxygen monitoring refers to the monitoring of cerebral oxygen saturation, which is a new monitoring method for evaluating the balance of cerebral tissue oxygen supply and demand (specifically, the mixing volume ratio of oxygen in arterial blood and venous blood in the brain tissue). In clinical practice, such as intensive care, neurosurgery, and anesthesia surgery, cerebral oxygen monitoring can provide real-time information on changes in patient cerebral oxygen saturation, optimize intraoperative management, and reduce the incidence of postoperative cerebral neurological dysfunction.

[0004] In many clinical situations, cerebral oxygen and blood oxygen monitoring are required simultaneously, which usually requires fixing a cerebral oxygen monitor on the patient's head and fixing a blood oxygen monitor on the patient's fingers or other parts. At the same time, the patient may also be bound to other monitors for monitoring heart rate, pulse, and other parameters, resulting in a large number of monitors bound to the patient's body, which is not convenient for the patient to turn over or move.

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the application, rather than all the embodiments of the application. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the application.

[0027] Please refer to the drawings in the embodiments of the application Figs. 1-2The embodiment of the present application provides a cerebral oxygen and blood oxygen composite probe (hereinafter referred to as a composite probe), which comprises a probe base 1, wherein the probe base 1 is provided with a cerebral oxygen assembly capable of monitoring cerebral oxygen and a blood oxygen assembly capable of monitoring blood oxygen. The cerebral oxygen assembly comprises a cerebral oxygen light source 2 for emitting cerebral oxygen detection light to the brain and a cerebral oxygen sensor for receiving and detecting the cerebral oxygen detection light emitted from the brain; the blood oxygen assembly comprises a blood oxygen light source 3 for generating blood oxygen detection light to the brain and a blood oxygen sensor for receiving and detecting the blood oxygen detection light emitted from the brain. In actual use, the blood oxygen assembly and the cerebral oxygen assembly can be used simultaneously, for example, the blood oxygen light source 3 and the cerebral oxygen light source 2 alternately emit light in turn,

[0028] In this way, the composite probe provided by the present application integrates the cerebral oxygen assembly capable of monitoring cerebral oxygen and the blood oxygen assembly capable of monitoring blood oxygen, that is, the cerebral oxygen detection end and the blood oxygen detection end are integrated on the same probe, so that the same probe can be used to complete the monitoring of the two types of parameters, that is, the blood oxygen monitoring can be performed at the same time when the cerebral oxygen monitor is used to monitor the cerebral oxygen, and it is not necessary to additionally arrange a blood oxygen monitor; and the clinical conditions that usually need to monitor the cerebral oxygen also need to monitor the blood oxygen, so that the composite probe provided by the present application can reduce the number of monitors bound to the patient without affecting the types of monitoring parameters in the clinical application, improve the use convenience and patient comfort, and also help to reduce the adverse conditions that the loosening of the monitor caused by the movement of the patient affects the monitoring results.

[0029] In the present application, the blood oxygen light source 3 comprises a light-emitting diode for emitting red light or infrared light for cerebral oxygen test, and the light-emitting diode of the blood oxygen light source 3 can emit two light waves with different wavelengths, and in actual application, the blood oxygen light source 3 emits the two light waves with different wavelengths in turn.

[0030] The cerebral oxygen sensor and the blood oxygen sensor are both photoelectric sensors, the light emitted by the blood oxygen light source 3 is reflected, scattered and absorbed after entering the frontal tissue, forms an arc-shaped travel path, and finally is emitted from the brain and detected by the cerebral oxygen sensor on the probe. The time length of a single photon passing through the susceptible tissue is measured to evaluate the absolute oxygen content, tissue hypoxia and total hemoglobin amount, and then the cerebral oxygen saturation is obtained. The blood oxygen saturation is measured by the different absorption rates of the peripheral circulating blood to the different wavelength light beams emitted by the blood oxygen light source 3.

[0031] On the probe base 1, the cerebral oxygen light source 2 and the blood oxygen light source 3 can be separately and spacedly arranged.

[0032] For example, the probe base 1 can include a top cover and a base, the top cover and the base are buckled together, the cerebral oxygen light source 2 is connected to the base through the first fixing plate, the blood oxygen light source 3 is connected to the base through the second fixing plate, and the top cover is provided with a light transmission hole for light transmission. Alternatively, the probe base 1 is in the form of a plate body, and the cerebral oxygen light source 2 and the blood oxygen light source 3 are arranged on different regions of the probe base 1. For example, the light emitting diode of the cerebral oxygen light source 2 is fixed on the first fixing plate, and the first fixing plate is fixed on the probe base 1. The light emitting diode of the blood oxygen light source 3 is fixed on the second fixing plate, and the second fixing plate is fixed on the probe base 1 and has a spacing with the first fixing plate.

[0033] The blood oxygen sensor uses a group of sensors, while the cerebral oxygen sensor needs to use two groups of sensors with different detection distances. In this embodiment, since the blood oxygen light source 3 and the cerebral oxygen light source 2 are arranged separately, the blood oxygen sensor can include the first sensor 4, and the cerebral oxygen sensor can include the first sensor 4 and the second sensor 5. That is, the first sensor 4 and the second sensor 5 are arranged on the probe base 1, the first sensor 4 is used to detect the light emitted by the blood oxygen light source 3 and the light emitted by the cerebral oxygen light source 2. The first sensor 4 is used to detect the light of the cerebral oxygen light source 2 transmitted from the brain when the cerebral oxygen light source 2 is enabled, and is used to detect the light of the blood oxygen light source 3 transmitted from the brain when the blood oxygen light source 3 is enabled. The second sensor 5 is used to detect the light of the cerebral oxygen light source 2 transmitted from the brain, and the distance between the second sensor 5 and the cerebral oxygen light source 2 is greater than the distance between the first sensor 4 and the cerebral oxygen light source 2.

[0034] The distance between the blood oxygen light source 3 and the first sensor 4 is set, so that the first sensor 4 can detect and receive the blood oxygen detection light emitted by the blood oxygen light source 3 when the blood oxygen light source 3 is started. At the same time, the distance between the cerebral oxygen light source 2 and the first sensor 4 is set, so that the first sensor 4 can be used to detect and receive the cerebral oxygen detection light emitted by the cerebral oxygen light source 2. At the same time, due to the distance requirement of the first sensor 4 and the blood oxygen light source 3, the distance between the first sensor 4 and the cerebral oxygen light source 2 is shorter than that between the second sensor 5 and the cerebral oxygen light source 2. The first sensor 4 is used to collect the detection data of the near end of the cerebral oxygen detection light, and the second sensor 5 is used to collect the detection data of the far end of the cerebral oxygen detection light.

[0035] The distance between the blood oxygen light source 3 and the first sensor 4 is less than the distance between the brain oxygen light source 2 and the first sensor 4. If the distance between the first sensor 4 and the blood oxygen light source 3 is too far, the blood oxygen detection light emitted from the brain and received by the first sensor 4 will be weak, which will affect the detection result. If the distance between the first sensor 4 and the brain oxygen light source 2 is too close, the light path of the brain oxygen detection light detected by the first sensor 4 will be too close, and the tissue penetrated will be too shallow, which is not the expected light path to be measured, and will seriously affect the measurement accuracy. Therefore, when the two light sources share the first sensor 4, the distance to the first sensor 4 needs to be set, and preferably, the distance between the blood oxygen light source 3 and the first sensor 4 is less than the distance between the brain oxygen light source 2 and the first sensor 4.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 1, the brain oxygen light source 2, the blood oxygen light source 3, the first sensor 4 and the second sensor 5 are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the probe base 1. Fig. 1

[0037] In some embodiments, the blood oxygen light source 3 and the brain oxygen light source 2 are connected to the probe base 1 through the same fixing plate and are located in the same area of the probe base 1. For example, the light-emitting diode of the blood oxygen light source 3 and the light-emitting diode of the brain oxygen light source 2 are fixed on the same fixing plate, and then the fixing plate is fixed on the probe base 1. In this way, the blood oxygen light source 3 and the brain oxygen light source 2 are arranged close to each other or adjacent without spacing. In such embodiments, the blood oxygen sensor includes the first sensor 4, and the brain oxygen sensor includes the second sensor 5 and the third sensor. The distance between the second sensor 5 and the brain oxygen light source 2 is less than the distance between the third sensor and the brain oxygen light source 2. The second sensor 5 is used for near-end detection of the brain oxygen detection light, and the third sensor is used for far-end detection of the brain oxygen detection light. In this way, the blood oxygen sensor and the brain oxygen sensor are arranged separately and work independently, which facilitates the setting of the optimal distance to the corresponding light source.

[0038] In some embodiments, the edge of the probe base 1 is provided with a notch groove 101 recessed from the edge line to the inside, and the notch groove 101 is provided with a plurality of notch grooves 101 distributed along the circumference of the probe base 1. In actual use, the composite probe provided in the present application needs to be fixed to the forehead of the patient, for example, the composite probe is attached to the forehead of the patient by a bandage wrapped around the head of the patient. The provision of a plurality of notch grooves 101 at the edge of the probe base 1 can cause small deformations such as bending or wrinkling when the probe base 1 is attached to the forehead of the patient, thereby improving the attachment of the composite probe to the forehead of the patient and improving the measurement accuracy.

[0039] Similarly, the middle part of the probe base 1 can be provided with a deformation space 102, which is a recess or a through hole arranged in the thickness direction. In this way, the attachment of the composite probe to the forehead of the patient can also be improved, and the measurement accuracy can be improved.

[0040] ​The embodiment of the present application also provides a monitoring system, which comprises a controller and the brain oxygen and blood oxygen combined probe as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the controller is used to make the blood oxygen light source 3 emit different light waves in turn, make the brain oxygen light source 2 emit different light waves in turn, and make the blood oxygen light source 3 and the brain oxygen light source 2 emit light alternately. It is assumed that each light wave is emitted by a diode monomer. The controller sets the emission time of each diode monomer as T seconds, and makes the diode monomers take turns to emit light alternately and continuously. For example, the brain oxygen light source 2 can emit four light waves of different wavelengths, so the brain oxygen light source 2 has four diode monomers, the blood oxygen light source 3 can emit two light waves of different wavelengths and has two diode monomers. In actual use, the controller makes the four diode monomers of the brain oxygen light source 2 emit light in turn for T seconds, then the two diode monomers of the blood oxygen light source 3 emit light in turn for T seconds, and then the diode monomers of the brain oxygen light source 2 emit light in turn for T seconds... The blood oxygen monitoring and the brain oxygen monitoring can be performed simultaneously and have good measurement accuracy.

[0041] The embodiment of the present application also provides a head-mounted device, which comprises a fixing band and the brain oxygen and blood oxygen combined probe as described in any of the above embodiments, and the fixing band is used to fix the brain oxygen and blood oxygen combined probe on the forehead of a patient. For example, the fixing band is used to be sleeved on the head of the patient, and the fixing band is provided with a structure for fixing the combined probe, and the detection surface of the combined probe is located on the inner side of the fixing band which faces the patient.
