Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, and more specifically, to a medical pulse oximeter. Background Technology
[0002] Blood oxygen saturation, the percentage of oxyhemoglobin in the total hemoglobin in human arterial blood, is an important physiological parameter reflecting the oxygen supply status of human tissues. In the early stages of blood oxygen saturation measurement, invasive methods were usually used, which involved drawing arterial blood and sending it to a blood gas analyzer for electrochemical analysis to measure the oxygen partial pressure before calculating blood oxygen saturation. However, due to the increased pain, trauma, and infection risk associated with invasive methods, they were quickly replaced by non-invasive blood oxygen saturation measurement technology. This non-invasive blood oxygen saturation measurement technology is based on the unique absorption spectra of oxygenated hemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin in the red and infrared light regions to measure human blood oxygen saturation.
[0003] Traditionally, red and infrared light signals are converted into electrical signals and then transmitted sequentially to a filter circuit, an amplifier circuit, and an analog-to-digital converter. After filtering, amplification, and analog-to-digital conversion, the signals are transmitted to a processor. The processor receives the processed electrical signals and performs calculations to obtain blood oxygen saturation. Generally, this photoelectric detection circuit uses a dual differential amplifier circuit and dual A / D converters for processing, which results in higher processing costs.
[0004] Therefore, a medical pulse oximeter is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a medical pulse oximeter to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a medical pulse oximeter, comprising a pulse oximeter body, characterized in that a connecting line is provided on the side wall of the pulse oximeter body, a connector is provided at the other end of the connecting line, a power cord is provided at the end of the connector away from the connecting line, and four sets of detection lines are provided on one side of the power cord, with a monitoring probe provided at the end of each set of detection lines away from the connector.
[0007] Preferably, when the near-infrared light emitted by the monitoring probe shines through the skull, the photons diffuse along multiple paths within the skull. Some of the light is absorbed by different layers of tissue: the skull, scalp, and brain, while the remaining photons are scattered in the brain tissue along the so-called "banana" model.
[0008] Preferably, the monitoring probe uses optical equipment to detect near-infrared light absorbed and scattered by brain tissue, and analysis of this emitted light spectrum reveals that the main absorption of near-infrared light in brain tissue comes from deoxygenated hemoglobin and oxygenated hemoglobin.
[0009] Preferably, the changes in hemoglobin in brain tissue monitored by the probe are explained by the Lambert-Beer Law, and the formula is as follows:
[0010]
[0011] When the near-infrared light source and monitoring probe are placed, the monitoring probe receives photons emitted after passing through the brain. Some photons are scattered and absorbed in the brain tissue. The light attenuation between the light source and the monitoring probe is described by I, where... For incident light, To monitor light, For wavelength Photon density, This is due to the attenuation of light intensity; this attenuation occurs at a wavelength of... Light absorption ( ) and scattering ( The superposition of ) leads to the conclusion that:
[0012] .
[0013] Preferably, in the detection by the monitoring probe, oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) and deoxyhemoglobin (Hb) are the main absorption channels for near-infrared light; therefore, light absorption is defined as:
[0014]
[0015] in, For hemoglobin to a specific wavelength Extinction coefficient of near-infrared light This refers to the concentration of hemoglobin. For wavelength The path length of light diffusion in tissue; this length is defined as:
[0016]
[0017] Where d is the distance between the light source and the monitoring probe. This is the path length difference coefficient, which is a correction for the length of the main photon scattering path, and is defined as follows:
[0018]
[0019] in, The absorption coefficient is... In order to be in The simplified scattering coefficient is given at wavelength. Based on the anisotropy of scattering, the simplified scattering coefficient is used to replace the scattering coefficient.
[0020] When scattering is performed, assuming a constant path length difference coefficient, the two paths can generate a difference in optical density (OD).
[0021]
[0022] This eliminates the effects of scattering.
[0023] Preferably, in the detection by the monitoring probe, each type of hemoglobin has its specific extinction coefficient and pathway length difference coefficient, and the measurements for two different wavelengths of light are as follows:
[0024]
[0025] in, , ,
[0026] and DPF are defined as and ,
[0027] Therefore, we can conclude that:
[0028]
[0029] Determine the absorption and reduction scattering coefficients and By using coefficients and formulas, the DPF value for each wavelength is obtained, and the relative changes in the concentrations of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin are solved. This is then used to solve a rectangular equation, and the detected near-infrared light intensity change signal is converted into changes in brain activity blood oxygen saturation, i.e., changes in hemoglobin concentration.
[0030] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0031] Compared with existing technologies, this invention enables non-invasive detection of cerebral oxygen saturation and can continuously monitor cerebral oxygen saturation, tissue oxygen saturation, and finger pulse oxygen saturation. Furthermore, the cerebral oxygen saturation detected by this invention incorporates oxygenation information from a mixed vascular network consisting of 25% arterial information and 75% venous information, and is not affected by pulse fluctuations, thus increasing the accuracy of cerebral oxygen detection. In summary, this invention better meets the needs of cerebral oxygen saturation detection, achieving non-invasive, wireless, and accurate detection, making it more suitable for clinical applications.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the monitoring probe 6 uses optical equipment to detect near-infrared light absorbed and scattered by brain tissue. Analysis of this emitted light spectrum reveals that the main absorption of near-infrared light in brain tissue comes from deoxygenated hemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin.

[0057] When scattering is performed, assuming a constant path length difference coefficient, the two paths can generate a difference in optical density (OD).
[0058]
[0059] This eliminates the effects of scattering.
[0060] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, during the detection by the monitoring probe 6, each type of hemoglobin has its specific extinction coefficient and pathway length difference coefficient.
