Compared to mechanical ventilation, phrenic nerve stimulators have the advantage that (1) ventilation is closer to physiological ventilation mode, peripheral and lung floor tissues are well ventilated; (2) the mobility of the patient can be increased, and the patient can return to the society at an early stage; (3) the patient can eat and drink more conveniently, and can obtain normal breathing and pronunciation; (4) the inhaled gas passes through the nasal cavity, which is beneficial to the recovery or preservation of smell; (5) the incidence rate of complications such as pneumonia related to a respirator is reduced; (6) in addition, the medical cost can be reduced.
At present, the most widely used type of diaphragm pacemaker is Avery series, which has been developed to the 4 th generation, the clinical application time is longest, the number of cases is the most, and the corresponding technology is mature. Such pacemakers generate radio frequency signals from an external radio frequency transmitter, which are conducted by leads attached to the patient's body to a bi-directional receiver implanted subcutaneously. The analog circuit of the receiver converts the radio frequency signal into analog pulse, and the analog pulse is transmitted to an electrode implanted on the surface of the phrenic nerve through a lead to stimulate the phrenic nerve so as to generate respiration. The stimulator is externally hung, the external emitter bears all control functions, and when vital signs (such as pulse, blood oxygen saturation and respiratory frequency) of a patient are changed, a professional is required to adjust stimulation parameters of the respiratory pacemaker, so that the convenience is poor.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions of the present invention will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it should be understood that the described embodiments are some, but not all embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
The embodiment of the invention provides a control method of a phrenic nerve stimulator, which can be executed by an implanted or non-implanted phrenic nerve stimulator or by an extracorporeal device used for controlling the stimulator. As shown in fig. 1, the method comprises the following steps:
s1, acquiring physiological parameters, specifically acquiring one or more parameters, such as heart rate, blood oxygen, respiratory rate, respiratory amplitude, respiratory cycle, etc., which may be acquired by sensors disposed inside or outside the user.
And S2, judging whether the physiological parameter reaches a first threshold value. And executing the step S3 when the physiological parameter reaches the first threshold, otherwise returning to the step S1 to continue monitoring. When the user meets the conditions of the step, the abnormal physiological state of the user is represented through the basic physiological parameters, and when the heart rate, the blood oxygen and the respiration related parameters reach the related abnormal threshold values, the abnormal physiological state of the user is represented.
In an alternative embodiment, only the blood oxygen saturation level is obtained and determined whether it is lower than the first saturation threshold, and step S3 is executed when the blood oxygen saturation level is lower than the first saturation threshold, otherwise, the monitoring is continued by returning to step S1.
In another alternative embodiment, only the heart rate is obtained and determined whether it is higher than the first heart rate threshold, and step S3 is executed when the heart rate is higher than the first heart rate threshold, otherwise, the monitoring is continued by returning to step S1.
In a third alternative embodiment, a plurality of physiological parameters, such as heart rate and blood oxygen saturation, may be acquired simultaneously, and step S3 is executed when two conditions, that is, the blood oxygen saturation is lower than the first saturation threshold and the heart rate is higher than the first heart rate threshold, otherwise, the monitoring is continued by returning to step S1; step S3 may also be executed when either of these two conditions is satisfied, otherwise, the monitoring is continued by returning to step S1.
The meaning of "reached" in step S2 may thus be interpreted as being higher than, lower than or equal to, depending on the kind of physiological parameter and its corresponding threshold value.
And S3, acquiring electromyographic information, specifically diaphragm electromyography, and acquiring the electromyographic information through a sensor arranged in or outside the body of the user.
And S4, determining the phrenic nerve state according to the electromyographic information and executing corresponding stimulation action. Various diaphragm or phrenic nerve states, such as diaphragm paralysis, diaphragm spasm, diaphragm fatigue, normality and the like, can be judged through the diaphragm myoelectric information. The appropriate stimulation actions are configured for different states in order to relieve or eliminate corresponding abnormal symptoms or make the user feel more comfortable and more in line with physiological patterns.
For an in-vivo or in-vitro stimulator capable of independently executing the method, corresponding stimulation actions can be executed by autonomously changing related parameters; for the case where the method is performed by the extracorporeal device and the stimulator in cooperation, the parameters corresponding to the stimulation action are determined by the extracorporeal device and then sent to the stimulator to perform the stimulation action in step S4.
According to the control method of the phrenic nerve stimulator, provided by the embodiment of the invention, the physiological parameters of the patient are obtained when the phrenic nerve of the patient is stimulated, whether the current physiological state of the patient is abnormal is determined by judging whether the physiological parameters reach the threshold value, then the myoelectric information of the diaphragm of the patient is obtained when the physiological state is abnormal, the phrenic nerve state is determined through the information, and then the stimulation action suitable for the current phrenic nerve state is executed, so that the self-adaptive adjustment of the stimulation action by equipment is realized when the vital signs of the patient are changed, the participation of professionals is not needed, and the control method has strong convenience.
In a preferred embodiment, at least the diaphragm fatigue state or the non-fatigue state is determined through step S4. Further, the stimulation action corresponding to the fatigue state is to change the stimulation site, which is related to the number and position of electrodes of the stimulator. The stimulator should have multiple or multiple sets of electrodes, each for stimulating a different diaphragm region of the human body, and there is at least one or one set of electrodes that does not output a stimulation signal at any one time. When the diaphragm fatigue state occurs, that is, the currently stimulated diaphragm part is fatigued, thus changing to stimulation of another position, thereby relieving or eliminating the fatigue state. Therefore, the embodiment can at least relieve or eliminate diaphragm fatigue generated when the diaphragm is stimulated.
By way of example, the implantable phrenic nerve stimulator comprises two groups of stimulation electrodes, wherein the two groups of stimulation electrodes are respectively used for stimulating phrenic nerves on two sides of a human body, only one group of stimulation electrodes outputs stimulation signals at the same time, and the stimulation position is changed by switching the other group of stimulation electrodes to output the stimulation signals, namely, the stimulation is adjusted to the contralateral side.
The stimulation action corresponding to the non-fatigue state is to adjust the stimulation parameters according to the physiological parameters. It should be noted that the non-fatigue state is not equal to the normal state, because it is determined in step S2 that the physiological parameter reaches the abnormal threshold value before proceeding to this step, the non-fatigue state should be understood in a broader sense, such as increasing/decreasing the activity amount, sleeping/waking state, taking medicine, etc., which indicates that the physiological parameter abnormality is not caused by diaphragm fatigue. However, in this embodiment, it is not necessary to distinguish between the specific states, and only two states, namely fatigue and non-fatigue, may be determined.
The stimulation parameters comprise various parameters such as pulse width, stimulation frequency and stimulation period, and the effect of changing the stimulation strength, the stimulation time and the like can be achieved by changing the parameters, so that the aim of improving the stimulation effect is fulfilled. The stimulation parameters may be adjusted according to one or more physiological parameters of heart rate, blood oxygen, and respiration-related parameters, for example, when the heart rate is higher, the stimulation frequency may be decreased, the stimulation period may be increased, and the like, and the specific adjustment manner may be various.
In a preferred embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, on the basis of the above embodiment, the method may further include the following steps:
s5, judging whether the physiological parameter reaches the second threshold value, and executing the step S6 when the physiological parameter reaches the second threshold value. Specifically, step S5 is similar to step S2, but the condition of step S5 indicates a worse case, such as 90% for the first threshold and 60% for the physiological parameter of blood oxygen saturation. Therefore, step S2 may be executed first, and when the blood oxygen saturation is lower than 90%, it is further determined whether it is lower than 60%, if it is lower than 60%, step S6 is executed while step S3 is also executed, otherwise, step S6 is not necessarily executed and only step S3 is executed;
for example, for a physiological parameter such as heart rate, the first threshold is 100 and the second threshold is 120. Therefore, step S2 can be executed first, when the heart rate is higher than 100, it is further determined whether it is higher than 120, if so, step S6 is executed while step S3 is also executed, otherwise, step S6 is not executed and only step S3 is executed; other types of physiological parameters are similar and will not be described in detail herein.
In other possible embodiments, step S5 and step S2 may be executed completely synchronously without any order difference, or step S5 may be executed first and then step S2 may be executed. Therefore, the above description and the case shown in fig. 2 are only examples for explaining the meaning of the first threshold and the second threshold, and do not limit the magnitude relationship between the first threshold and the second threshold or the execution sequence of step S5 and step S2.
And S6, executing an alarm action. The alarm action is, for example, a device executing the method performs voice prompt or displays related content; if the method is performed by an implanted device, a more suitable alarm action is to send an alert message to an external device. The purpose of executing the alarm action is to facilitate the patient to see a doctor in time, discover hidden dangers as early as possible and inform others to rescue. By way of example, information such as patient user information, addresses, emergency contact information and the like can be pre-entered, and emergency contacts can be contacted to seek help when an alarm action needs to be performed. According to the preferred scheme, the safety of the patient can be ensured to the greatest extent under the condition of simulating the respiratory physiology, the patient can see a doctor in time conveniently, and hidden dangers can be found as early as possible.
