The present invention provides an adaptive esophageal electrode catheter system, as shown in fig. 1 to 11, comprising a stimulation instrument 100 and an esophageal electrode catheter 201.
The esophageal electrode catheter 201 is provided with a plurality of electrodes 2012, and the plurality of electrodes 2012 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the esophageal electrode catheter 201.
Specifically, a plurality of electrodes 2012 are arranged along the esophageal electrode catheter body 2015 at intervals in the axial direction, a gap exists between two adjacent electrodes, the esophageal electrode catheter 201 can be installed on the esophageal electrode catheter 201 via installation grooves and the like, and the gap can be the esophageal electrode catheter body spaced between the corresponding installation grooves. Of course, without limiting the present application, a plurality of electrodes 2012 may be disposed on the socket or the mounting member adapted to the esophageal electrode catheter 201, and two adjacent electrodes are spaced by the spacing position or the edge position of the socket or the mounting member.
The electrodes 2012 are connected to the stimulation instrument 100, and after the esophageal electrode catheter 201 is inserted into the stomach, the electrocardiographic detection signals corresponding to the positions of the electrodes 2012 are transmitted to the stimulation instrument 100. Specifically, the electrical connection is adopted, that is, the plurality of electrodes are electrically connected with the stimulation instrument, and the term "electrically connected" as used herein means that current can pass between two connecting components, but does not mean that current can always pass between two connecting components, and the term "electrically connected the plurality of electrodes with the stimulation instrument" means that current can flow between the plurality of electrodes and the stimulation instrument. It should be noted that, the stimulation instrument herein has an interface for signal input and output, so as to realize signal transmission.
The stimulator 100 is configured to acquire and identify electrocardiographic detection signals transmitted by the plurality of electrodes 2012, and the stimulator 100 determines, according to the electrocardiographic detection signals of the plurality of electrodes 2012, an electrode of the plurality of electrodes 2012 that is at an optimal stimulation position, and further configured to send a therapeutic electrical signal to the electrode that is at the optimal stimulation position.
Specifically, the stimulator 100 acquires and recognizes electrocardiographic detection signals fed back by the plurality of electrodes 2012, and determines the plurality of electrodes at the optimal stimulation positions according to the acquired electrocardiographic detection signals respectively corresponding to the plurality of electrodes 2012. It should be noted that, since the esophageal electrode catheter 201 of the present application has a plurality of electrodes 2012, there may be more than one electrode at the optimal stimulation position during the detection process, and there is no less than one electrode at the determined optimal stimulation position, according to the actual operation, the stimulation apparatus selects one of the at least one electrode at the determined optimal stimulation position and sends a therapeutic electrical signal to the selected electrode, and the electrode at the optimal stimulation position delivers the stimulation to the heart.
In the actual operation process, the situation of electrode displacement is inevitably caused due to individual difference of patients, posture adjustment and transformation and other factors, and because the esophageal electrode catheter disclosed by the application document is provided with a plurality of electrodes, after the electrodes are displaced, namely the electrodes are subjected to position deviation with the original detection positions, the stimulator can also re-determine the electrodes at the optimal stimulation positions, specifically, the electrodes at the optimal stimulation positions in the plurality of electrodes can be re-determined through the electrocardio detection signals of the plurality of electrodes, and certainly, the electrodes at the optimal stimulation positions can also be searched in the plurality of electrodes determined to be at the optimal stimulation positions.
In this document, after determining the electrode in the optimal stimulation position among the plurality of electrodes, the stimulator may perform self-checking, that is, repeatedly determine the optimal stimulation position suitable for implementing pacing stimulation for many times, and adjust the optimal stimulation position according to actual needs. Specifically, the stimulator of the present application can be connected to an electrophysiology examination apparatus, and when the stimulator is used, after determining an electrode in the optimal stimulation position among the plurality of electrodes, when the determined electrode is not less than one, the stimulator determines whether any one or more of the electrodes needs to be adjusted, and if so, the stimulator automatically adjusts any one of the electrodes and connects the electrophysiology examination apparatus in parallel to determine the optimal stimulation position suitable for achieving pacing stimulation.
The term "stimulator" as used herein refers to a device for controlling or processing at least one operation and transmitting a therapeutic electrical signal such as a stimulation pulse signal, and the stimulator has a control system or a part thereof for implementing at least one operation of the adaptive esophageal electrode catheter system described herein, such as a device that can be implemented in hardware, circuitry, firmware or software, or a combination of at least two of the foregoing, and the control system or the part thereof is disposed inside the stimulator 100 in a form of being integrated into an internal circuit board or a packaging housing of the stimulator, or the like, or may be disposed outside the stimulator 100 in a form of being disposed in a supporting manner by using other devices or housings as carriers.
Without limiting the present application, the adaptive esophageal electrode catheter system has a controller or a control circuit independent from the stimulation device, and since the functions and electrical connection relationship achieved by the controller or the control circuit are easily understood by those skilled in the art, the operation of the adaptive esophageal electrode catheter system is substantially consistent with the operation of the stimulation device described in the present application, and for the specific implementation method of the attached controller or control circuit, reference may be made to the implementation scheme of the stimulation device described in the present application, and details are not repeated herein.
Further, the optimal stimulation locations include a cardiac atrial location and a cardiac ventricular location.
The stimulator may send therapeutic electrical signals to electrodes located in either an atrial or ventricular position of the heart to effect cardiac pacing stimulation of either or both of the atrium and ventricle of the heart.
As a preferred example herein, the stimulator has any one or more of an atrial pacing mode, a ventricular pacing mode, and an atrial ventricular therapy mode.
In the atrial pacing mode, the stimulation instrument identifies the position of the cardiac atrium through the electrode at the optimal stimulation position, is used for pacing stimulation to the position of the cardiac atrium, and sends stimulation to the atrium through the electrode at the optimal stimulation position to realize atrial pacing stimulation.
In the ventricular pacing mode, the stimulation instrument identifies the position of the heart ventricle through the electrode at the optimal stimulation position, is used for pacing stimulation to the position of the heart ventricle, and delivers stimulation to the ventricle through the electrode at the optimal stimulation position to realize ventricular pacing stimulation.
In the atrial and ventricular sequential pacing mode, the stimulator determines the position of the heart atrium and the position of the heart ventricle, sends stimulation to the atrium through the electrode in the optimal stimulation position to realize atrial pacing stimulation, and then sends stimulation to the ventricle through the electrode in the optimal stimulation position to realize ventricular pacing stimulation.
Further, the stimulator 100 has an input unit 101 for inputting a pacing control signal to correspondingly activate the atrial pacing mode, the ventricular pacing mode or the atrial-ventricular therapy mode.
As an example, the input unit 101 may employ an input device such as a hardware button, a keyboard, a touch screen, and the like, for acquiring a pacing control signal input by a medical staff to determine to select any one of the atrial pacing mode, the ventricular pacing mode, and the atrial-ventricular therapy mode to implement pacing stimulation.
Specifically, in the implementation process, the esophageal electrode catheter 201 enters the human body from the nose/mouth, extends into the stomach of the human body through the esophagus, detects electrocardiographic detection signals corresponding to the positions of the electrodes 2012 extending into the stomach, determines the electrode in the optimal stimulation position in the plurality of electrodes according to the electrocardiographic detection signals of the electrodes 2012 by the stimulator 100, and is further used for sending a therapeutic electrical signal to the electrode in the optimal stimulation position.
As an example, the stimulator 100 obtains the electrocardiographic detection signals transmitted by the plurality of electrodes 2012, and is configured to screen an optimal position for implementing pacing stimulation according to the electrocardiographic detection signals of the plurality of electrodes 2012 within a preset detection time, and further determine the electrode at the optimal stimulation position.
Here, the preset detection time is set according to a time period for the stimulator to automatically recognize the electrode at the optimal stimulation position, and may be specifically set on the stimulator 100 shown in this document, and it should be noted that the preset detection time is estimated according to clinical operation, the possibility of body position change, and the daily turning frequency of ICU comatose patients, and the detection time is set to 1min to 1 day according to actual use.
As an example, when the stimulator apparatus of the present invention is shipped, a time default value is set, and the time default value can be inputted through the input unit 101 of the stimulator apparatus 100, and stored in the internal memory 103 of the stimulator apparatus 100 as a default value at a preset time. Of course, the detection time can be set automatically in the subsequent use according to different requirements of actual use. Here, the stimulator 100 having a memory function is used, and the memory 103 may be integrated inside or outside the stimulator 100 and electrically connected to the stimulator 100 according to different requirements in actual use.
Further, the esophageal electrode catheter 201 has a gastric tube section for extending into the stomach, and a plurality of electrodes are arranged at intervals between the beginning and the end of the gastric tube section.
Specifically, as a preferred example herein, a gastric tube section is provided on the esophageal electrode catheter 201, the gastric tube section refers to a portion of the esophageal electrode catheter 201 that can contact the stomach wall and detect the optimal stimulation location after being inserted into the stomach, and the gastric tube section represents a portion of the esophageal electrode catheter 201 extending into the stomach, and may or may not include one end portion of the esophageal electrode catheter 201 extending into the esophagus. Of course, in practice, depending on the depth of insertion of the esophageal electrode catheter 201, the portion of the gastric tube that does not reach the stomach may stay in the esophagus and occupy a portion or all of the esophagus from where it meets the stomach, without limitation.
In order to find the position which is most suitable for recording and stimulating the heart, and avoid the situation that the insertion depth of the esophageal electrode catheter 201 needs to be adjusted manually and repeatedly even the position for recording electrocardio is judged due to too few electrodes, the gastric tube section of the esophageal electrode catheter 201 is provided with a plurality of electrodes 2012, and the plurality of electrodes 2012 are arranged between the beginning and the end of the gastric tube section at intervals, namely, the electrodes are arranged from one end of the gastric tube section to the other end of the gastric tube section at intervals, so that the electrodes can be bent and rotated to enter the stomach in the process of being inserted into the stomach, further go deep into the stomach, and the stomach is effectively prevented from being scratched or discomfort is caused to a patient.
Specifically, in order to further optimize the insertion depth, as shown in fig. 2 to 5, electrodes are disposed on the peripheral wall of the esophageal electrode catheter 201 in a ring shape and/or a dot shape. According to practical applications, the electrodes may be embedded, fastened, etc. to the peripheral wall of the esophageal electrode catheter 201.
Further, the electrode is embedded in the outer peripheral wall of the esophageal electrode catheter 201. The plurality of electrodes 2012 are made of non-insulating material, and the esophageal catheter body 2015 between the electrodes is made of an insulator, and as a preferred example, the electrodes are made of stainless steel 316L, and the esophageal catheter body is made of medical grade TPE plastic.
Compared with the existing esophageal electrode catheter, the esophageal electrode catheter only comprises one group of electrodes and is used for sending stimulation signals after electrocardio detection signals are detected. Further, as shown in fig. 2 to 4, the esophageal electrode catheter 201 of the present invention employs a multi-stage catheter, and at least 4 electrodes of the esophageal electrode catheter 201 are disposed for detecting electrocardiographic signals from the atrium to the ventricle. The front end 2011 of the esophageal electrode catheter can flexibly enter deeper parts of the stomach of a human body along the esophagus, and the optimal stimulation position is automatically determined by the stimulation instrument 100 without manually adjusting the depth. If the posture of the patient changes, the electrodes arranged on the esophageal electrode catheter 201 are arranged at intervals and in a large number, so that the electrodes acting on the optimal stimulation position can be re-determined even if the original electrodes at the optimal position are displaced, namely, the electrodes and the original detection position are subjected to position deviation, and the optimal stimulation state is automatically recovered.
As a further preferred example, the esophageal electrode catheter 201 used herein comprises ten to tens of electrodes, and is inserted deeper than conventional electrode catheters of the prior art, so that no matter how the patient's posture changes after insertion into the body, it is possible to ensure that there is always one set of electrodes in the optimal position with respect to the heart, as long as there is no significant accumulation of gas in the esophagus and stomach. Of course, the optimal position includes, but is not limited to, an optimal recording position, an optimal stimulation position.
As an example, the tip of the front end 2011 of the esophageal electrode catheter according to the present invention is configured with an electrode cap 2013 suitable for sealing the esophageal electrode catheter 201, so as to enhance the sealing performance of the esophageal electrode catheter 201, reduce the foreign body sensation inserted into the esophagus through the nose/mouth, and effectively prevent the esophageal electrode catheter 201 from scratching the esophagus when it is inserted into the esophagus. Here, the front end 2011 of the esophageal electrode catheter refers to the end of the esophageal electrode catheter 201 extending into the stomach, and the other end of the esophageal electrode catheter is connected to the stimulation instrument via a cable.
In the practice of the present invention, the esophageal electrode catheter 201 is inserted about 40cm from the nose. In order to avoid influencing practical use, the length of the front end 2011 of the esophageal electrode catheter from the electrode cap 2013 to the last electrode is less than 40 cm. In order to observe the insertion depth of the esophageal electrode catheter more intuitively, the scale marks 2014 can be arranged on the esophageal electrode catheter, the scale marks 2014 are arranged at intervals of 10cm at the front end of the esophageal electrode catheter from the electrode cap, the scale marks 2014 can be arranged from 10cm to 40cm, a ring-shaped mark line is taken as 10cm, and more ring-shaped mark lines are arranged at intervals of 10cm away from the end part of the front end of the esophageal electrode catheter and are taken as marked scale marks 2014.
It should be noted that, inserting the esophageal electrode catheter 201 about 40cm is a preferred example of this document, and the insertion depth can be adjusted according to different requirements of actual use.
Further, the length of the gastric tube segment provided with the plurality of electrodes 2012 at intervals is not more than 40cm, and the interval between any two adjacent electrodes is 1mm-30 mm.
Specifically, the electrode outer diameter of the esophageal electrode catheter is 0.5-30mm, and as a further preferable example, the electrode outer diameter of the esophageal electrode catheter is 1-30 mm.
Further, the electrode catheter also comprises a body surface auxiliary electrode 202, wherein the body surface auxiliary electrode 202 is electrically connected with the stimulator 100 and is used for detecting body surface electrocardiosignals on the body surface of a human body; the stimulation instrument 100 is further configured to determine an electrode in the plurality of electrodes 2012, which is located at the optimal stimulation position, according to the body surface electrocardio signal and the electrocardio detection signals of the plurality of electrodes.
Taking pacing stimulation on an atrium of a heart as an example, the stimulator 100 according to the present application obtains esophageal P-wave data corresponding to a position where each electrode is located according to an electrocardiographic detection signal fed back by the plurality of electrodes 2012, obtains a maximum value or a maximum voltage value of an amplitude of the esophageal P-wave according to the electrocardiographic detection signal, and directly compares the esophageal P-wave data with the maximum value or the maximum voltage value of the amplitude of the esophageal P-wave when reading the esophageal P-wave data without manually observing the display 102 to determine and select an optimal position one by one according to the form and the amplitude of the P-wave. Of course, the maximum value of the P-wave amplitude of the esophagus or the maximum voltage value may also be preset in the memory 103, and the stimulator 100 compares the obtained P-wave data of the esophagus with the preset maximum value of the P-wave amplitude of the esophagus or the maximum voltage value to determine whether the corresponding positions of the electrodes 2012 are the optimal positions.
In other non-optimal positions, the esophagus P wave amplitude is not as high as that of the optimal position; if a body surface auxiliary electrode 202 is added on the body surface, at this time, if the P waves of the body surface electrocardiosignals and the electrocardio detection signals of the plurality of electrodes are in a positive and negative two-way mode, and the positive direction is slightly higher than the negative direction, the esophageal electrode catheter electrode is the electrode in the optimal stimulation position in the plurality of electrodes.
Further, the stimulator 100 is further configured to determine a recording electrode from the plurality of electrodes according to the electrocardiographic detection signals of the plurality of electrodes, and the stimulator 100 is further configured to receive the electrocardiographic detection signal fed back by the recording electrode and output an electrocardiographic detection result according to the electrocardiographic detection signal fed back by the recording electrode. As an example, in actual operation, the recording electrode is arranged adjacent to the electrode of the optimal stimulation location.
In order to more intuitively display the electrocardiographic detection data and facilitate medical diagnosis for medical staff, the stimulator 100 of the present invention further has a display 102, and the stimulator 100 is configured to display the electrocardiographic detection signal on the display 102 in a form of graph and/or value. The display 102 displays the electrocardiographic detection signals and the body surface electrocardiographic data in the form of graphs/numerical values by adopting P wave images, QRS wave images and the like, and outputs electrocardiographic detection results. Medical personnel can directly know the maximum amplitude value or the maximum voltage value of the P wave and the QRS wave through the display 102, and the data displayed by the display 102 assists in deciding the electrode and the recording electrode which are positioned at the optimal stimulation position, so that the medical personnel can judge the electrocardio condition of the patient and determine whether to perform atrial pacing or not again or perform atrial and ventricular sequential pacing.
Further, the display 102 of the present document also has an alarm 104, and the alarm 104 is connected to the stimulation instrument 100. If the best position cannot be found within the preset detection time, the stimulator 100 drives the alarm 104 to give an alarm, and the medical staff determines the reason for the bad position or the bad signal. The alarm 104 may be attached to any position of an apparatus using the adaptive esophageal electrode catheter system, and the alarm 104 may be connected to the stimulation apparatus 100 through an electrical connection or a wireless connection, without limiting the present disclosure.
By way of example, in an adaptive esophageal electrode catheter system of the present invention, the stimulator 100 is implemented to include the following steps:
step S1, recognizing the electrocardio detection signals of a plurality of electrodes within preset detection time;
step S2, determining the electrode at the best stimulation position in the plurality of electrodes according to the electrocardio detection signals of the plurality of electrodes;
step S3, displaying the electrocardio detection signal on a display in a graph and/or numerical value form;
and step S4, according to the pacing control signal input by the input unit, sending a therapeutic electric signal to the electrode at the optimal stimulation position so as to correspondingly start an atrial pacing mode, a ventricular pacing mode or an atrial-ventricular therapy mode.
