The disclosure relates to the technical field of respiratory assistance, and more particularly to a ventilation adjustment method and a high-frequency ventilation system.
As an important respiratory support technology, mechanical ventilation has been widely used in clinical treatment. Mechanical ventilation can be divided into conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV) and high-frequency ventilation (HFV) according to the ventilation frequency. At present, the clinical ventilation treatment is still dominated by conventional mechanical ventilation, which plays an important role in correcting severe hypoxemia, hypercapnia, relieving high-frequency ventilation system fatigue, etc. In recent years, with the update and improvement of high-frequency ventilation treatment technology, high-frequency ventilation has become an important supplement to conventional mechanical ventilation, and high-frequency ventilation also plays an increasingly important role.
High-frequency ventilation system can be divided into two types according to the implementation principle, one is diaphragm or piston type, and the other is valve-controlled type. Both implementation methods generate high-frequency pressure oscillation. However, a control pressure of the valve-controlled high-frequency ventilation system can be selected to different ranges according to a measurement range of a proportional valve, so it has stronger oscillation ability and can be used in a wider range.
Valve-controlled high-frequency ventilation needs to generate a pulsed gas flow by quickly opening and closing of the valve to achieve the desired high-frequency oscillating pressure. In addition, an oxygen concentration of the high-frequency ventilation system is also controlled by a flow rate of the proportional valve.
However, due to the viscosity of the proportional valve, there is a dead zone at a small flow rate. The common ventilation frequency of high-frequency ventilation is as high as 300-1200 times/min. During the pressure oscillation process, the flow rate of the proportional valve should be controlled quickly. If the conventional control method is used during the high-frequency ventilation process, the proportional valve cannot continuously provide a stable flow rate when the flow rate is close to the dead zone. As a result, when the oxygen concentration is arranged below 40% or above 80%, the oxygen concentration fluctuates.

In view of this, this disclosure provides a ventilation adjustment method. During the high-frequency ventilation, when the air proportional valve or oxygen proportional valve is adjusted within the dead zone in the inspiratory phase, the electric current control flow rate is maintained without closing the valve in the expiratory phase, so as to avoid the influence of the dead zone of the proportional valve on the control of small flow rate, and to ensure a relatively stable oxygen flow rate, air flow rate and relatively stable oxygen concentration.
The ventilation adjustment method provided by an embodiment of this disclosure is described below with reference to
Please refer to
In step 601, a first gas flow rate control value and a second gas flow rate control value are determined according to a target output flow rate and an oxygen concentration setting value.
In this embodiment, the ventilation control device can determine the first gas flow rate control value and the second gas flow rate control value according to the target output flow rate and oxygen concentration setting value. That is to say, the first gas flow rate control value and the second gas flow rate control value can be set according to the target output flow rate which is set by the user and the oxygen concentration setting value which is desired by the user. Take
In step 602, whether the first gas flow rate control value falls into a first dead zone range and whether the second gas flow rate control value falls into a second dead zone range are determined.
In this embodiment, after obtaining the first gas flow rate control value and the second gas flow rate control value, the ventilation control device can respectively determine whether the first gas flow rate control value falls into the first dead zone range and whether the second gas flow rate control value falls into the second dead zone range. Wherein, the first dead zone range corresponds to the dead zone range of the first gas flow rate controller, the second dead zone range corresponds to the dead zone range of the second gas flow rate control, that is, the first dead zone range is the dead zone range of the first gas flow rate controller, and the second dead zone range is the dead zone range of the second gas flow rate controller.
It should be noted that when determining whether the first gas flow rate control value falls into the first dead zone range and whether the second gas flow rate control value falls into the second dead zone range, the determination results are divided into three situations.
1. The first gas flow rate control value falls into the first dead zone range.
2. The second gas flow rate control value falls into the second dead zone range.
3. The first gas flow rate control value falls outside the first dead zone, and the second gas flow rate control value falls outside the second dead zone.
When the first gas flow rate control value falls into the first dead zone range, step 603 is executed, when the second gas flow rate control falls into the second dead zone range, step 604 is executed, when the first gas flow rate control value falls outside the first dead zone range and the second gas flow rate control value falls outside the second dead zone range, step 605 is executed.
It should be noted that before determining whether the first gas flow rate control value falls into the first dead zone range and whether the second gas flow rate control value falls into the second dead zone range, the first dead zone range corresponding to the first gas flow rate controller 212 and the second dead zone range corresponding to the second gas flow rate controller 222 need to be determined respectively. The following details are given.
In one embodiment, the ventilation control device can obtain a flow rate-electric current curve of the first gas flow rate controller and a flow rate-electric current curve of the second gas flow rate controller, and then determine the first dead zone range according to the flow rate-electric current curve of the first gas flow rate controller and determine the second dead zone range according to the flow rate-electric current curve of the second gas flow rate controller.
In this embodiment, the flow rate-electric current curve of the first gas flow rate controller can be obtained by flow calibration of the first gas flow rate controller, or by looking up the performance manual corresponding to the first gas flow rate controller provided by the manufacturer. The first dead zone range can also be set as a flow rate at the inflection point between the dead zone and linear part of the first gas flow rate controller, or of course can be set according to the actual situation. The second dead zone range corresponding to the second gas flow rate controller is also obtained in the same way.
In step 603, if the first gas flow rate control value falls into the first dead zone, the first gas flow rate controller maintains turn-on.
In this embodiment, when the first gas flow rate control value falls into the first dead zone range, the first gas control flow rate controller maintains turn-on. Here, it may include that the first gas control flow rate controller maintains turn-on in both the inspiratory phase and/or the expiratory phase.
It can be understood that when the first gas flow rate control value falls into the first dead zone range, there are also two situations. The first situation is that the first gas flow rate control value falls into the first dead zone range, and the second gas flow rate control value falls outside the second dead zone range. The second situation is that the first gas flow rate control value falls into the first dead zone range, and the second gas flow rate control value falls into the second dead zone range. Two situations are described as follows.
1. The first gas flow rate control value falls into the first dead zone range, while the second gas flow rate control value falls outside the second dead zone range.
If the first gas flow rate control value falls into the first dead zone range and the second gas flow rate control value falls outside the second dead zone range, the second gas flow rate controller is controlled to generate high-frequency oscillation.
2. The first gas flow rate control value falls into the first dead zone range, and the second gas flow rate control value also falls into the second dead zone range.
If the first gas flow rate control value falls into the first dead zone range and the second gas flow rate control value falls into the second dead zone range, the high-frequency pressure reduction module is controlled to generate high-frequency oscillation. At this time, the second gas control flow rate controller can also maintain to be turned on in the inspiratory phase and/or the expiratory phase. With reference to
It should be noted that the high-frequency pressure reduction module includes a high-frequency valve and turbine. It can be seen from
In step 604, if the second gas flow rate control value falls into the second dead zone, the second gas flow rate controller maintains turn-on.
In this embodiment, when the second gas flow rate control value falls into the second dead zone range, the second gas flow rate controller is maintained turn-on. As discussed above, it may include maintaining the second gas control flow rate controller to be turned on in both the inspiratory phase and/or the expiratory phase.
It should be noted that when the second gas flow rate control value falls into the second dead zone, the comparison results between the first gas flow rate control value and the first dead zone range include two situations: 1, the first gas flow rate control value falls into the first dead zone range; 2. the first gas flow rate control value falls outside the first dead zone range, which are described below.
1. The second gas flow rate control value falls into the second dead zone range, and the first gas flow rate control value falls into the first dead zone range.
In step 603 above, the execution situation in which the second gas flow rate control value falls into the second dead zone and the first gas flow rate control value falls into the first dead zone, has been described, which is not repeated here.
2. The second gas flow rate control value falls into the second dead zone range, while the first gas flow rate control value falls outside the first dead zone range.
When the first gas flow rate control value falls outside the first dead zone range and the second gas flow rate control value falls into the second dead zone range, the first gas flow rate controller is controlled to generate high-frequency oscillation. That is to say, during comparing the first gas flow rate control value with the first dead zone range, and comparing the second gas flow rate control value with the second dead zone range, when one of the gas flow rate control values falls into its corresponding dead zone range, and the other one gas flow rate control value fall outside its corresponding dead zone range, the gas flow rate controller which corresponds to the gas flow rate control value that falls outside the corresponding dead zone range, is controlled to generate high-frequency oscillation. That is, when the target flow rate of the first gas flow rate controller 212 or the second gas flow rate controller 222 is adjusted to its corresponding dead zone range, the control flow rate is maintained without closing the valve in the inspiratory phase and/or the expiratory phase.
In step 605, if the first gas flow rate control value falls outside the first dead zone range and the second gas flow rate control value falls outside the second dead zone range, other operations are performed.
In this embodiment, if the first gas flow rate control value falls outside the first dead zone range and the second gas flow rate control value falls outside the second dead zone range, the first gas flow rate controller and the second gas flow rate controller are controlled to generate high-frequency pulse flow rate. That is to say, when the two gas flow rate control values fall outside their corresponding dead zones, the first gas flow rate controller and the second gas flow rate controller are respectively controlled to turn on and off in high-frequency pulse mode (that is, the first gas flow rate controller and the second gas flow rate controller are controlled to turn on and off continuously) to form high-frequency pulse flow rate and enhance the high-frequency oscillation of inspiratory branch 2. In addition, when the first gas flow rate control value falls outside the first dead zone and the second gas flow rate control value falls outside the second dead zone, high-frequency oscillation can also be generated through the high-frequency pressure reduction module, which is not limited herein.
It should be noted that the high-frequency pressure reduction module is adjusted according to the control demand of negative pressure. The high-frequency oscillation is completed by the pulse gas flows which are formed in the expiratory phase and the inspiratory phase. The high-frequency pressure reduction module can be configured to assist a pressure reduction in the whole inspiratory phase and the expiratory phase, especially during the generation of the negative pressure. No matter in the expiratory phase or the inspiratory phase, the high-frequency oscillation can be generated by controlling the high-frequency pressure reduction module.
In one embodiment, the inspiratory branch is also provided with an oxygen concentration detector to detect the oxygen concentration of output gas of the inspiratory branch.
If the oxygen concentration of the output gas detected by the oxygen concentration detector fails to reach the target oxygen concentration, the first gas flow rate controller and the second gas flow rate controller are adjusted according to the oxygen concentration of the output gas and the target oxygen concentration.
Combining
It can be understood that when adjusting the first gas flow rate controller and the second gas flow rate controller according to the oxygen concentration and target oxygen concentration of the output gas, the first gas flow rate controller and the second gas flow rate controller can be adjusted according to the oxygen concentration and target oxygen concentration of the output gas, based on a preset adjustment rule.
That is to say, an adjustment step length, adjustment frequency or adjustment period can be preset in advance to adjust the first gas flow rate controller and the second gas flow rate controller according to the oxygen concentration of the output gas and the target oxygen concentration. For example, the first gas flow rate controller and the second gas flow rate controller are adjusted in each expiratory phase and inspiratory phase. Further, the first gas flow rate controller and the second gas flow rate controller can also be adjusted each two expiratory phases and each two inspiratory phases. Of course, other adjustment rules can also be adopted for adjusting, such as adjusting the first gas flow rate controller and the second gas flow rate controller by taking two seconds as a period, or adjusting the first gas flow rate controller and the second gas flow rate controller once for each two seconds. Of course, they can also be adjusted according to the actual situation, as long as the adjustments of the first gas flow rate controller and the second gas flow control can be realized. In such a way, a closed-loop adjustment can be formed. Whether the adjusted flow rates of the first gas flow rate controller and the second gas flow rate controller are in their respective dead zones, are determined and then subsequent operations are performed.
It should be noted that during the closed-loop adjustment, if the oxygen concentration of the output gas of inspiratory branch 2 is stabilized at the target oxygen concentration, the adjustment stops. Otherwise, the adjustment continues until the oxygen concentration of the output gas of inspiratory branch 2 is stabilized at the target oxygen concentration.
To sum up, it can be seen that in the embodiment provided by this disclosure, the first gas flow rate control value and the second gas flow rate control value are determined according to the target output flow rate and oxygen concentration settings, and whether the first gas flow rate control value falls into the first dead zone range and whether the second gas flow rate control value falls into the second dead zone range are determined respectively. If the first gas flow rate control value falls into the first dead zone range, the first gas flow rate controller can maintain turn-on in the inspiratory phase and/or expiratory phase; if the second gas flow rate control value falls into the second dead zone range, the second gas flow rate controller can maintain turn-on in the inspiratory phase and/or expiratory phase, so that when the flow rate of the proportional valve is within its corresponding dead zone range, a stable and small flow rate can be generated in the high-frequency oscillation process to ensure stable and accurate oxygen concentration control within the oxygen concentration setting range, through adjusting the flow rate of the proportional valve.
