AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In special patient groups such as post-thoracic surgery patients, patients with high BMI, and patients with hirsutism, the waveform distortion rate is high due to poor contact between the contact and the skin, which affects the accuracy of identifying low-frequency heart sounds and high-frequency murmurs and increases the risk of misdiagnosis.

Method used

A light is installed on the contact piece and blocked by an outer ring. Whether the light is blocked by the skin is used to determine whether the contact piece is completely in contact with the patient's skin. At the same time, a heating plate can be installed to improve the patient's comfort and avoid diagnostic errors caused by the contact piece not fitting properly.

Benefits of technology

This effectively avoids diagnostic errors caused by misfitting contact parts, improving diagnostic accuracy and patient comfort.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an electronic stethoscope with waveform visualization. Background Technology

[0002] Waveform visualization electronic stethoscopes are advanced medical devices that can amplify and transmit sounds from inside the body and convert these sounds into visible waveforms, helping doctors to analyze and diagnose more intuitively. However, when medical staff place the contact piece against the patient's skin for auscultation, the waveform distortion rate is high due to poor contact, especially in special groups such as post-thoracic surgery patients, patients with high BMI, and patients with hirsutism. This contact problem directly affects the accuracy of identifying low-frequency heart sounds and high-frequency murmurs, thereby increasing the risk of misdiagnosis.

[0003] To address the above problems, a waveform visualization electronic stethoscope has been developed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the drawback of poor contact leading to high waveform distortion rates when medical staff apply the contact element to a patient's skin for auscultation, especially in special groups such as post-thoracic surgery patients, high BMI patients, and patients with hirsutism, this invention provides a waveform visualization electronic stethoscope.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A waveform visualization electronic stethoscope includes a waveform generator, a display screen mounted on the upper middle part of the waveform generator, a connecting rope connected to the right side of the waveform generator, four earplugs connected to the end of the connecting rope, a charging port on the front right side of the waveform generator, a contact member connected to the lower left side of the waveform generator, six LEDs connected to the outer side of the contact member, an outer ring connected between the outer sides of the LEDs, a mounting base connected to the lower middle part of the waveform generator, a magnetic suction element provided on the mounting base, and a heating plate rotatably connected to the left side of the mounting base. The heating plate can heat the contact member, which helps to improve the patient's comfort during diagnosis.

[0006] Optionally, it also includes a storage component, with two of the storage components connected to the connecting rope, and the storage component is also connected to the rear side of the waveform generator.

[0007] Optionally, the waveform generator has anti-slip textures on both the front and rear sides.

[0008] Optionally, the connecting rope has a Y-shaped structure.

[0009] Optionally, the earplugs are all made of soft materials.

[0010] Optionally, the magnetic element can attract the heating plate.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] This invention incorporates a light source on the contact element and uses an outer ring to shield it. This allows for the timely detection of situations where the contact element does not fully adhere to the patient's skin, assisting medical personnel in taking appropriate corrective measures. During auscultation, when the contact element is fully attached to the patient's skin, the light emitted by the light source is blocked by the patient's skin and the outer ring. Conversely, when the contact element is not fully attached to the patient's skin, the light from the light source will leak out. Medical personnel can use this phenomenon to determine whether the contact element is properly attached. This method effectively avoids diagnostic errors caused by improper contact element attachment. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] An electronic stethoscope with waveform visualization, such as Figures 1-4As shown, the device includes a waveform generator 1 with anti-slip textures on both the front and back sides. A display screen 2 is mounted on the upper middle part of the waveform generator 1. A connecting rope 3 with a Y-shaped structure is connected to the right side of the waveform generator 1, and four earplugs 4 are connected to the end of the connecting rope 3. The earplugs 4 are all made of soft material. A charging port 5 is opened on the front right side of the waveform generator 1. Two storage pieces 6 are connected to the connecting rope 3. Storage pieces 6 are also connected to the rear side of the waveform generator 1. A contact piece 7 is connected to the lower left side of the waveform generator 1. Six light-emitting lamps 8 are connected to the outside of the contact piece 7. An outer ring 9 is connected between the outside of the light-emitting lamps 8. A mounting base 10 is connected to the lower middle part of the waveform generator 1. A magnetic suction piece 11 is provided on the mounting base 10. A heating plate 12 is rotatably connected to the left side of the mounting base 10. The heating plate 12 can heat the contact piece 7, which helps to improve the patient's comfort during diagnosis. The magnetic suction piece 11 can attract the heating plate 12.

[0020] It should be noted that the waveform visualization electronic stethoscope is an advanced medical device that not only amplifies and transmits sounds from inside the human body but also converts these sounds into visible waveforms, helping doctors to analyze and diagnose more intuitively. Medical personnel wear earplugs 4 and hold the waveform generator 1, placing the contact piece 7 against the patient's skin. The patient's internal sounds are transmitted to the medical personnel's ears via the connecting cord 3, enabling diagnosis. Simultaneously, medical personnel can use the data reflected by the waveform generator 1 for intuitive diagnosis. However, when the medical personnel adhere the contact piece 7 to the patient's skin, situations may arise where the contact piece 7 does not fully adhere due to the patient's skin condition or aging of the connecting piece, resulting in decreased sound quality and even reduced diagnostic accuracy. This invention addresses this by incorporating a light source 8 on the contact piece 7 and using an outer ring 9 to shield it, allowing for timely detection of incomplete contact piece adhesion. Depending on the patient's skin condition, medical staff can take appropriate measures during auscultation. When the contact 7 is fully in contact with the patient's skin, the light from the lamp 8 will be blocked by the patient's skin and the outer ring 9. Conversely, when the contact 7 is not fully in contact with the patient's skin, the light from the lamp 8 will leak out. Medical staff can use this phenomenon to judge whether the contact 7 is in contact. This method can effectively avoid diagnostic errors caused by the contact 7 not being in contact. When the ambient temperature is low, the heating plate 12 can be rotated to the lower part of the contact 7 to heat the contact 7, avoiding the contact 7 being too cold and causing irritation to the patient's skin, which helps to improve the patient's comfort during auscultation. After the heating plate 12 is used, it can be flipped to the right, and the magnetic part 11 will attract the heating plate 12. After auscultation, the connecting rope 3 can be stored using the storage part 6, thereby saving space for the stethoscope.

[0021] It should be understood that the above description is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will understand that variations of the present invention will be included within the scope of the claims herein.
