And, herein and term that uses in claims " pressure ", " exerting pressure " etc. refer to relative pressure (gauge pressure) rather than absolute pressure.Therefore, apply negative pressure and refer to pressure below atmospheric pressure.
The specific embodiment
For the relation between pressure and the gas flow is described, referring now to system shown in Figure 1.Fig. 1 shows first fan or aerator 10 and second fan or aerator 12.Aerator 10,12 can provide controllable flow and/or controllable pressure in its outlet respectively.The outlet 14 of aerator 10 can be connected to pipe 18 communicatively, and pipe 18 can be connected to common chamber 20 communicatively.Equally, aerator 12 can be connected to pipe 22 communicatively, and pipe 22 can be connected to common chamber 20 communicatively.As shown in Figure 1, pipe 18 can be connected to chamber 20 communicatively by orifice plate 24, and pipe 22 can be not be connected to common chamber 20 communicatively by the orifice plate orifice plate of the obvious gas channel bigger than the gas channel of orifice plate 24 (or have).Therefore, when each pipe 18 and 22 can be connected to common chamber 20 communicatively, because the existence of orifice plate 24, to producing restriction or resistance from the air-flow of managing 18 inlet chambers 20.
Further consider that pipe 18,22 is connected to pressure transducer 26,28 respectively.Pressure transducer is for convenience of description, can not need in some embodiment of invention.Each pressure transducer 26,28 can read the pressure in each pipe 18,22.Aerator can move under pressure control mode.The pressure of each pipe inner control can be different, for convenience of explanation, consider that the pressure in each pipe 18,22 is controlled so as to identical.Further consider that common chamber 20 is in low-pressure state, as be disposed to atmosphere.Therefore, owing to have pressure reduction between pipe 18,22 and common chamber 20, air-flow can enter common chamber 20 (shown in the arrow Fig. 1) from managing 18,22.But in this example, although the pressure of managing in 18,22 can be identical, gas flow can be different.That is to say that orifice plate 24 can be to providing resistance from managing 18 air-flows that enter common chamber 20, and just do not have resistance by managing 22 airflow flowing.Particularly, because the restriction of orifice plate 24, can be by managing 18 gas flow than little by the gas flow of pipe 22.Therefore, even the pressure of managing in 18,22 is identical, can be also different by the gas flow of these pipes.
Consider now that aerator 10,12 moves under flow control mode, each aerator attempts to keep the gas flow that equates, with desired pressure independent.For the flow that keeps expecting, aerator 10 may need to be used for the restriction that the higher pressure of the required pressure of same traffic overcomes orifice plate 24 than aerator 12.Remember these principles, the following describes book discussion is used for providing the method for Positive Airway Pressure and relevant system to the patient.
Fig. 2 shows machine or the equipment 30 that is used to provide Positive Airway Pressure according to some embodiments of the present invention.Equipment 30 according to the some embodiments of the present invention structure preferably can be controlled to the pressure and/or the however, therapeutic gas flow in each nostril of patient respectively, and in certain embodiments, is controlled to the pressure and/or the however, therapeutic gas flow of patient mouth.The CPAP equipment of this and prior art forms sharp contrast, and the CPAP equipment of prior art can not make the flow that enters each nostril create a difference.Therefore, first gas channel can comprise the aerator 32 that is connected to flow transducer 34 and pressure transducer 36 communicatively.Aerator 32 can be any suitable device, as is connected to the blade type aerator of motor.In optional embodiment, except aerator 32, can also use treatment gas source such as oxygen, or treatment gas source and aerator 32 are used in combination.Therefore, the therapeutic gas pressure and the flow that are produced by aerator 32 can flow through flow transducer 34 (pick off of any adequate types), and can arrive patient's first nostril by pipe 38.Positive airway pressure device 30 can comprise second aerator 40 that is connected to second flow transducer 42 and second pressure transducer 44 according to an embodiment of the invention.The design of aerator 40 and structure can be similar with aerator 32.In optional embodiment, aerator 40 can be used in combination with compression treatment gas source such as oxygen, or is replaced by the compression treatment gas source.The therapeutic gas pressure and the flow that are produced by aerator 40 can pass through flow transducer 42 (pick off of any adequate types), and can arrive patient's second nostril by pipe 46.Below continuing, before the operation, in each bar gas channel, have pressure transducer and flow transducer simultaneously, might not require to have simultaneously this two kinds of equipment although should understand the example embodiment shown in Fig. 2.Some embodiment can only have flow transducer or pressure transducer is only arranged in each gas channel.
According to embodiments of the invention, positive airway pressure device 30 is controlled to the pressure and/or the flow in each nostril of patient respectively.In certain embodiments, can between two nostrils, separate the treatment air-flow that provides to the patient, so just needn't force arbitrary nostril by all treatment air-flows.In order to guarantee each nostril by treating air-flow to small part, the gas channel in each nostril can need independently pressure and/or flow-control.In optional embodiment, thereby can be controlled different respectively by the treatment air-flow in each nostril.
Pressure control and consequent treatment air-flow can adopt various ways.In one embodiment, can come controlled pressure, as by the rotating speed of motor of control connection to aerator by the rotating speed of controlling aerator selectively.In optional embodiment, aerator 32,40 can constant-speed operation, and the pressure that offers the patient can be respectively by pressure-control valve 48,50 controls that are used for aerator 32,40.Yet in other embodiments, can be used in combination control blower speed and these two means of pressure-control valve and come controlled pressure.
Fig. 3 shows and can be used for the control system 60 of the positive airway pressure device shown in the control figure 2.What particularly, be connected to each aerator 32,40 can be respectively motor 62,64.The rotating speed of each motor 62,64 output shaft (blower speed then) can be respectively by motor speed control unit 66 and 68 controls.In at least some embodiment, motor 62,64 can be the DC motor, and these rotating speed of motor can be regulated by the dc voltage that change applies.In optional embodiment, the voltage that is applied to each motor 62,64 can be constant, but can modulate, as controlling by pulse width modulation.And in other embodiments of the invention, motor 62,64 can be the AC motor, and in these embodiments, thereby motor speed control circuit 66,68 can provide the motor speed of the control voltage control with different voltages and frequency to motor.
Control system 60 also can comprise the microcontroller 70 that is connected to motor speed control circuit 66 and 68.Microcontroller 70 can be any suitable microcontroller and microprocessor, and it is programmed to provide to each motor speed control circuit 66 and 68 indication of the motor speed of expectation.In certain embodiments, can determine motor speed from the pressure that pressure transducer 36 and 44 reads according to microcontroller 70.In other embodiments, can be according to the motor speed that expectation is set by flow transducer 34 and 42 gas flows of measuring.In these flow-controls embodiment, can not need pressure transducer.Although microprocessor control is preferred, positive airway pressure device can realize with analog control system equally.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, the mode (not shown) that microcontroller 70 can be by regulation control plate (dial-type) input or other form (not shown)s of some user interfaces provide the titration pressure of regulation.Pressure according to the rules, microcontroller can make speed controling signal pass through each motor speed control circuit 66 and 68 to realize the pressure of expectation.If serious hyperemia in nostril or obstruction (as because tumor or polyp), however, therapeutic gas flow only can be with the nostril of titration pressure by ventilating of regulation.And convection current quantitative limitation and resistance can change in whole evening in each nostril, as changing along with the situation of each intranarial congested situation or each intranarial soft tissue enlargement.Therefore, even treat gas with the pressure supply of regulation, the treatment gas that the patient receives also may be not enough.According to embodiments of the invention, positive airway pressure device can be measured however, therapeutic gas flow by each nostril by read signal from pressure transducer 34 and 42.If to the however, therapeutic gas flow in nostril at least partially in mean allocation between the nostril, then except controlled pressure, need not other action.But if the flow of measuring is not partial balanced at least, some embodiment of equipment 30 can come balanced flow by the pressure that change imposes on certain nostril.
According to embodiments of the invention, positive airway pressure device can produce air-flow to the nostril pressurize that stops up or part is stopped up at least momently.In case generation air-flow, the treatment air-flow by the nostril can equally move to air operated clamp (air-flow is clamped larynx to reduce hypopnea and apnea in very similar mode), therefore, after the ventilation of nostril, applied pressure can reduce.
The embodiment that replaces can relate to the titration pressure of regulation.Particularly, the doctor can authorized pressure to realize to patient's desired effects.But the present inventor finds, is used to provide the face shield of continuous positive airway pressure with relevant pipe treatment gas (as air or oxygen-enriched air) to be produced resistance in the prior art.Resistance to air-flow causes the pressure in face shield and the pipe to descend, and making can not provide desired titration pressure to the patient in face shield.Fig. 4 shows a kind of method that at least some embodiment according to the present invention realize, this method has solved this defective that exists in the prior art.Particularly, can begin (square frame 100) and carry out this process and determine face shield and the resistance (square frame 102) of relevant pipe air-flow.According to some embodiments of the present invention, before the patient is placed on face shield the patient airway use, make this and determine.According at least some embodiment of the present invention, can apply known pressure by positive airway pressure device end, and determine the gas-flow resistance of face shield and relevant pipe by the flow of pipe measurement gas at face shield and pipe.Use these parameters, and consider to leak (below will describe in detail), can calculate the Resistance Value of face shield and pipe near the control at patient airway place.In case determine the gas-flow resistance of face shield and pipe, the patient can be connected to respiratory tract with face shield, begins to exert pressure.But, according to these embodiment, can be bigger by the positive airway pressure device applied pressure than the titration pressure of doctor's regulation, the pressure that is higher than authorized pressure can compensate at face shield and the pressure drop (square frame 104) in managing, thereby the pressure of experiencing near the patient airway place is basic identical with authorized pressure.After this, this process finishes (square frame 106).
Although before exerting pressure, calculated gas-flow resistance, of the present inventionly also can be adjusted in the variation that the equipment end applied pressure compensates gas-flow resistance in use to small part embodiment to patient airway.Particularly, understand by the relative humidity (with respect to dew point) of the pipe and the treatment gas of breathing mask and influence the suffered resistance of air-flow.Relative humidity is high more, and the suffered resistance of air-flow is big more.Therefore, the relative humidity of the treatment gas of embodiments of the invention monitoring supply when relative humidity variations, is also and then changed by equipment 30 applied pressures, thereby guarantees that the pressure that provides in the patient airway in breathing process is the titration pressure of regulation basically.Fig. 3 shows the dew point monitor 47 that is connected to microcontroller 70.Microcontroller 70 can be read dew point monitor 47 termly, and adjusts applied pressure at equipment 30, compensates the resistance of convection current by pipe and breathing mask.Although can use any dew point or relative humidity sensor, preferred sensor is the solid-state relative humidity sensor of No.HIH-3602-C by Honeywell Inc.'s manufacturing, part number.
And in further optional embodiment, except titration pressure, the doctor can stipulate total however, therapeutic gas flow.In these cases, positive airway pressure device 30 can be used control system shown in Figure 3, and mean allocation can realize total however, therapeutic gas flow of stipulating like this by the flow in each nostril substantially.In these optional embodiment, control system 60 can only be monitored the flow signal that is produced by flow transducer 34,42.In these cases, when producing air-flow in the nostril, applied pressure can be equal substantially, still, can require to make each intranarial pressure difference to control flow.And in further optional embodiment, the however, therapeutic gas flow that the doctor can each nostril of separate provision, in these cases, positive airway pressure device 30 can be distributed the flow by each nostril according to the rules.In order to reach these different flows, positive airway pressure device 30 can apply different substantially pressure to each nostril.
Basic mean allocation gas flow may be more comfortable concerning the patient between the nostril.Although the gas-flow resistance by the nostril can change significantly in whole evening, can adjust its pressure the air-flow that needs still can be provided more accurately with the equipment of guaranteeing air-flow.And basic mean allocation however, therapeutic gas flow can reduce owing to air communication is crossed the discomfort (comparing by single nostril with forced draft) that the nostril causes dry nasal cavity between two nostrils.
But, in an embodiment of the present invention, for mean allocation not necessarily can increase pressure by the air-flow in nostril.Particularly, microcontroller 70 can have upper pressure limit, as 20cm H2O, can be applied to specific nostril so that nostril ventilation or the air-flow of expectation is provided.If also do not produce the also not ventilation of treatment air-flow or nostril after the arrival upper pressure limit, microcontroller 70 can be taked to provide necessary treatment air-flow to the nostril of ventilation, and can report by the user interface (not shown) and stop up.And in a further embodiment, as described below, pressure and/or the flow that only provides to the nostril of patient's ventilation can be provided by the mouth delivering therapeutic gas to the patient microcontroller 70.If (as a whole night) previous nostril of stopping up is to the resistance force diminishes of treatment gas in therapeutic process, microcontroller can be from begin to provide air-flow this moment.
And in other optional embodiment, positive airway pressure device 60 can be connected to patient's nasal openings, provides pressure and/or flow but can be under an embargo at first.Therefore, in original state, positive airway pressure device 60 can be only by nostril monitoring flow, and and if only if when flow interrupt occurring, just become and can operate.For example, if the patient changes the sleep posture, may produce obstacle, in the case, equipment 60 can start one or more aerators to apply airway pressure and/or to guarantee the treatment air-flow.And for example, a nostril or two nostrils of patient may be congested, and when detecting the obstruction of congested form, equipment 60 can start one or more aerators to apply airway pressure and/or to guarantee the treatment air-flow.And for example, equipment 60 can be monitored the flow by two nostrils, when patient's sneeze in the testing process (detecting rapid fluctuation as measuring in the flow) can start one or more aerators to apply airway pressure and/or to guarantee the treatment air-flow.And in other embodiment, equipment 60 can be provided as hypo-allergenic and filtered air to the patient at first, and if desired, can be in that the time provides treatment gas after a while.
Referring again to Fig. 2, only focus on pressure and/or the however, therapeutic gas flow that is controlled to the patient nostril respectively about the discussion of this point.But,,, also can provide Positive Airway Pressure to patient's mouth except providing Positive Airway Pressure to the nostril according at least some embodiment of the present invention.Therefore, Fig. 2 shows the aerator 41 that can be connected to patient mouth by flow transducer 43.Closely similar with aerator 32 and 40, the rotating speed that can control aerator 41 imposes on the pressure of patient mouth or imposes on the pressure of patient mouth and the flow by mouth by the flow of mouth or control simultaneously with control selectively.In optional embodiment, when with the aerator 41 of constant rotational speed operation, can use valve 51 to come controlled pressure and/or flow.Fig. 2 also shows also can working pressure pick off 45 to the flow circuit of patient mouth.Equally, Fig. 3 shows the motor 65 that is connected to motor speed control circuit 69 and microcontroller 70.Therefore, the explanation for the rotating speed of controlling aerator 32 and 40 is applicable to aerator 41 too.
According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, can be controlled to the however, therapeutic gas flow and/or the pressure of each nostril of patient and mouth respectively.In these embodiments, according to patient's special status, can be only to nostril or only lip-syncing or the combination of one or more nostrils and mouth applied Positive Airway Pressure.For example, consider in breathing process, only to provide Positive Airway Pressure to patient's nasal openings.When a nostril becomes congested, positive airway pressure device 30 possibly can't provide enough flows to prevent hypopnea or apnea by remaining nostril.In the case, according to embodiments of the invention, can provide extra Positive Airway Pressure to the patient by mouth.Relatively, unusual, the tumor of health or polyp may for good and all stop the air-flow by the patient nostril, therefore, can provide Positive Airway Pressure to the patient by the nostril and the mouth of ventilation.
The hypothesis patient breathes without mouth when applying Positive Airway Pressure respectively by the nostril.In some cases, patient's (especially in sleeping soundly) may carry out the transition to nose from only breathing through the nostrils and mouth is breathed simultaneously.For those patients who operates under titration pressure, even in breathing process, because portion gas is run out of from mouth, opening mouth has increased the flow that passes through one or more nostrils.The increase of this flow may increase the nasal irritation relevant with this flow.And, may mean the treatment gas deficiency (advantage that has deviated from Positive Airway Pressure) that arrives lung from mouth effusion treatment gas.According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, just begin, aerator 41 can be switched off, and flow transducer 43 can be connected to patient's mouth.In the patient mouth down periods, positive airway pressure device 30 can use aerator 32,40 and relevant equipment to control therapeutic gas pressure and/or flow selectively.When the patient opened mouth and begin to breathe with mouth, positive airway pressure device 30 can take to correct action.In certain embodiments, positive airway pressure device 30 can start aerator 41 with specific pressure to mouth supply treatment gas.In these embodiments, positive airway pressure device 30 can provide pneumatic obstruction to the air-flow by mouth.And in further embodiment, when detecting the mouth breathing, positive airway pressure device can provide treatment gas and/or pressure by the mouth of opening to the patient to small part.
The embodiment that discuss the front has related in breathing process provides Positive Airway Pressure to the patient.Even in exhalation process, lasting airway pressure ventilation (CPAP) equipment of prior art still provides Positive Airway Pressure.But, at least some embodiment according to the present invention, the pressure that positive airway pressure device 30 reduces in the patient airway, the effort that the reduction of patient expiration is required.Can reduce airway pressure with multiple mode.In certain embodiments, airway pressure may reduce, and the pressure in the air flue may still be higher than atmospheric pressure or ambient pressure.And in other embodiments, can be fully without pressure, in exhalation process, what air flue was experienced is atmospheric pressure substantially like this.And in other embodiments, can apply negative pressure (vacuum) and help the patient to exhale.Referring again to Fig. 2, in an embodiment, when pressure reduces and when still being higher than atmospheric pressure, one or more aerators 32,40,41 slow down, like this patient on one's body the therapeutic gas pressure reduction and still be higher than atmospheric pressure.According to embodiment, when stopping to apply airway pressure, in exhalation process, one or more aerators 32,40,41 can be out of service fully.According to embodiment, when applying negative pressure to patient airway, one or more aerators 32,40,41 can turn to and the opposite direction of exerting pressure, thereby help the patient to exhale by additional air flue.Because patient's nasal openings can have different pressure and flow control circuit respectively with mouth, therefore can control each nostril and mouth respectively, one or more like this respiratory tracts have the pressure or the negative pressure of the reduction that applies, and the pressure of other respiratory tract is constant or with the control of different pressure.
Briefly with reference to Fig. 2, pipe 38,46 is connected to patient's nasal openings once more.Fig. 5 shows the embodiment of breathing mask, and this breathing mask is used for pipe 38,46 is connected to two nostrils of patient respectively.Particularly, face shield can comprise nose part 72, and this part is connected to carrier pipe 38 first nostril (being left nostril herein) communicatively, and communicatively carrier pipe 46 is connected to second nostril (being right nostril herein).Nose part 72 can be fixing by belt 74, and belt 76 is fixed on relative position with carrier pipe 38 and 46, stretches out from forehead.Nose part 72 can be sealed each nostril by sealing with the outside surface that contacts, each nostril.In optional embodiment, nose part can comprise tube element, and this element puts in each nostril certain distance, thereby forms sealing with the inside in nostril.As shown in Figure 5, each pipe 38,46 preferably has the outlet 39,45 of control respectively.The gas evolution that outlet 39,45 can allow to breathe out in exhalation process enters atmosphere.In an embodiment of the present invention, when positive airway pressure device was controlled the flow of the treatment gas that enters each nostril, it can be considered from each outlet 39 and the 40 treatment gas flows of overflowing.
