Description
技术领域technical field
本发明涉及治疗慢性阻塞性肺疾病(chronic obstructive pulmonarydisease,COPD)等导致的膈肌疲劳和阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征(Obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome,OSAHS),尤其涉及一种无创经皮电刺激仪。The invention relates to the treatment of diaphragm fatigue and obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) caused by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD), especially relates to a non-invasive transcutaneous electrical stimulation instrument.
背景技术Background technique
COPD和OSAHS都是临床上的常见病、多发病,且都涉及到与呼吸相关的某些骨骼肌。对COPD患者进行呼吸肌锻炼可以改善其夜间的氧合作用,缓解呼吸困难和改善呼吸肌功能,同时提高其活动能力及生活质量。体外膈肌起搏(External Ddiaphragm Pacemaker,EDP)就是一种较为有效的呼吸肌锻炼方式。目前,EDP治疗采用持续性2.5Hz或10Hz电刺激复合生理频率(40Hz)慢性电刺激,能够很好地防治COPD膈肌疲劳,且能够较好地改善膈肌功能。对OSAHS患者,由于上气道松弛、狭小引起的上气道阻力增高是导致OSAHS的始发因素,而颏舌肌功能异常、舌根后坠造成上气道狭窄又是最主要原因之一,颏舌肌的长度-张力曲线较正常人加强,即可以有效的重新开放上气道而终止阻塞性呼吸事件的发生,颏舌肌肌电活性的增高可以显著改善上气道稳定性。因此,改善上气道扩张肌肉功能成为有效、合理治疗该病的关键。国内有据此研发出的经皮无创双向电流脉冲刺激仪器,在监测到睡眠中有呼吸暂停发生时可立即按初设程序给予患者电刺激以促进颏舌肌的收缩,即刻改善通气,终止呼吸暂停。Both COPD and OSAHS are clinically common and frequently-occurring diseases, and both involve certain skeletal muscles related to breathing. Respiratory muscle exercise for COPD patients can improve their oxygenation at night, relieve dyspnea and improve respiratory muscle function, while improving their activity and quality of life. External diaphragm pacing (External Diaphragm Pacemaker, EDP) is a more effective way to exercise respiratory muscles. At present, EDP therapy uses continuous 2.5Hz or 10Hz electrical stimulation combined with physiological frequency (40Hz) chronic electrical stimulation, which can well prevent and treat diaphragmatic fatigue in COPD, and can better improve diaphragmatic function. For patients with OSAHS, the increased upper airway resistance due to upper airway relaxation and stenosis is the initiating factor leading to OSAHS, and the abnormal function of the genioglossus muscle and the stenosis of the upper airway caused by the posterior fall of the tongue root are one of the main reasons. The length-tension curve of the tongue muscle is stronger than that of normal people, that is, it can effectively reopen the upper airway and stop the occurrence of obstructive respiratory events, and the increase of the myoelectric activity of the genioglossus muscle can significantly improve the stability of the upper airway. Therefore, improving the function of upper airway dilating muscles is the key to effective and reasonable treatment of this disease. There is a transcutaneous non-invasive bidirectional current pulse stimulation device developed in China based on this. When apnea is detected during sleep, it can immediately give the patient electrical stimulation according to the initial program to promote the contraction of the genioglossus muscle, immediately improve ventilation, and stop breathing. pause.
但上述的两种疾病有可能同时存在,被称之为重叠综合征。而目前分别针对该两种疾病的治疗仪功能单一,即针对一种疾病只能够提供一种电刺激,并且上述经皮无创双向电流脉冲刺激仪器的电刺激模式系急性短期对症治疗,仅有临时开放气道、恢复呼吸的作用,无长期治疗效果,亦无法通过治疗改善颏舌肌收缩能力和抗疲劳能力,更无预防呼吸暂停事件发生的作用。因此,现在急需一种将膈肌疲劳和OSAHS的电刺激治疗功能合二为一的多功能电刺激仪。However, the above two diseases may exist at the same time, which is called overlap syndrome. At present, the therapeutic apparatus for these two diseases has a single function, that is, it can only provide one kind of electrical stimulation for one disease, and the electrical stimulation mode of the above-mentioned percutaneous non-invasive bidirectional current pulse stimulation instrument is for acute short-term symptomatic treatment, and only temporarily The effect of opening the airway and restoring breathing has no long-term therapeutic effect, and treatment cannot improve the contractility and anti-fatigue ability of the genioglossus muscle, let alone prevent the occurrence of apnea events. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a multifunctional electrical stimulator that combines the electrical stimulation treatment functions of diaphragm muscle fatigue and OSAHS into one.

Simultaneously give the monitored object chronic variable-frequency electrical stimulation signals and acute electrical stimulation signals, that is, the therapeutic device can not only give suitable chronic variable-frequency electrical stimulation or acute electrical stimulation to the diaphragm of the monitored object with COPD, but also give patients with OSAHS The suitable chronic variable-frequency electrical stimulation or acute electrical stimulation of the genioglossus muscle of the monitored object integrates the functions of diaphragm muscle fatigue and OSAHS electrical stimulation treatment, and solves the problem of single function of the existing electrical stimulation treatment equipment.

本实施例中设有若干膈肌起搏电极和若干颏舌肌电极132,电刺激信号发生器122也包括若干第一输出通道和若干第二输出通道,且该膈肌起搏电极131对应于第二输出通道,颏舌肌电极132对应于第一输出通道。且由于被监测对象可能患有COPD和OSAHS中的一种,可能两种均患有。若被监测对象只患COPD,则只需给予其膈肌电刺激,因此,需要选通第二输出通道;若被监测对象只患有OSAHS,则只需给予其颏舌肌电刺激,因此,需要选通第一输出通道;若被监测对象同时患有COPD和OSAHS,则需要同时选通第一输出通道和第二输出通道,即针对不同的疾病和不同的电刺激模式需要选通不同的输出通道。因此,本实施例通过在慢性变频电刺激信号参数和急性电刺激信号参数中设置相应的选通参数,使得该电刺激信号发生器122可根据该选通参数来选通相应的输出通道。例如当需要给予膈肌电刺激时,则电刺激信号发生器122根据该慢性变频电刺激信号参数/急性电刺激信号参数中的选通参数选通与膈肌起搏电极131相连的第二输出通道,并通过该第二输出通道将慢性变频电刺激信号/急性电刺激信号输出给该膈肌起搏电极131。同理,当需要给予颏舌肌电刺激时,则根据慢性变频电刺激信号参数/急性电刺激信号参数中的选通参数选通与颏舌肌电极132相连的第一输出通道;当同时需要给予颏舌肌和膈肌电刺激时,则分别选通与膈肌起搏电极131相连的第二输出通道,以及与颏舌肌电极132相连的第一输出通道。本实施例中该慢性变频电刺激信号参数和急性电刺激信号参数还包括对应模式下的该电刺激信号的强度、方向、时间长度和周期。In this embodiment, some diaphragm pacing electrodes and some genioglossus electrodes 132 are arranged, and the electrical stimulation signal generator 122 also includes some first output channels and some second output channels, and the diaphragm pacing electrodes 131 correspond to the second The output channel, the genioglossus electrode 132 corresponds to the first output channel. And because the monitored object may suffer from one of COPD and OSAHS, may suffer from both. If the monitored subject only suffers from COPD, it is only necessary to give electrical stimulation to the diaphragm muscle, so the second output channel needs to be selected; Gate the first output channel; if the monitored subject suffers from COPD and OSAHS at the same time, you need to gate the first output channel and the second output channel at the same time, that is, you need to gate different outputs for different diseases and different electrical stimulation modes aisle. Therefore, in this embodiment, by setting corresponding gating parameters in the parameters of the chronic frequency-variable electrical stimulation signal and the parameters of the acute electrical stimulation signal, the electrical stimulation signal generator 122 can gating the corresponding output channels according to the gating parameters. For example, when it is necessary to give diaphragm electrical stimulation, the electrical stimulation signal generator 122 gates the second output channel connected to the diaphragm muscle pacing electrode 131 according to the gating parameters in the chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation signal parameters/acute electrical stimulation signal parameters, And output the chronic variable-frequency electrical stimulation signal/acute electrical stimulation signal to the diaphragm pacing electrode 131 through the second output channel. Similarly, when it is necessary to give genioglossus electrical stimulation, the first output channel connected to the genioglossus electrode 132 is selected according to the gating parameters in the chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation signal parameters/acute electrical stimulation signal parameters; When giving electrical stimulation to the genioglossus muscle and the diaphragm muscle, the second output channel connected to the diaphragm muscle pacing electrode 131 and the first output channel connected to the genioglossus muscle electrode 132 are selected respectively. In this embodiment, the parameters of the chronic frequency-variable electrical stimulation signal and the acute electrical stimulation signal also include the intensity, direction, time length and cycle of the electrical stimulation signal in the corresponding mode.
对于患有OSAHS的被监测对象,EDP也可以起到辅助加强开放气道、增强OSAHS的治疗效果,即当实时监测模块11监测到其呼吸状况不正常时,在对其颏舌肌进行急性电刺激治疗外,还可同时对其膈肌进行慢性变频电刺激,从而恢复被监测对象呼吸的同时起到辅助加强开放气道、增强OSAHS的治疗效果。For the monitored subjects suffering from OSAHS, EDP can also play an auxiliary role in strengthening the open airway and enhancing the therapeutic effect of OSAHS, that is, when the real-time monitoring module 11 detects that the breathing condition is not In addition to stimulation therapy, chronic variable-frequency electrical stimulation of the diaphragm can also be performed at the same time, so as to restore the breathing of the monitored object and at the same time assist in strengthening the opening of the airway and enhance the therapeutic effect of OSAHS.
因此,在另一具体实施例中,当被监测对象处于睡眠状态,且根据睡眠参数分析判断出该被监测对象的呼吸状况不正常时,该电刺激信号发生模块12启动急性电刺激信号模式的同时还可启动慢性变频电刺激模式,即可编程微处理器121用于根据该睡眠参数产生急性电刺激信号参数以触发电刺激信号发生器122产生急性电刺激信号的同时,还可获取预设的慢性变频电刺激信号参数以触发该电刺激信号发生器122产生慢性变频电刺激信号;而电刺激信号发生器122则用于根据该急性电刺激信号参数产生对应的急性电刺激信号,并根据该急性电刺激信号参数中选通参数选通与颏舌肌电极相连的第一输出通道,再通过该第一输出通道将急性电刺激信号输出至颏舌肌电极132,最后由该颏舌肌电极13将该急性电刺激信号传导给被监测对象的颏舌肌,同时电刺激信号发生器122还用于根据上述的慢性变频电刺激信号参数产生慢性变频电刺激信号,并根据该慢性变频电刺激信号参数中选通参数选通与膈肌起搏电极131相连的第二输出通道,并通过该第二输出通道将慢性变频电刺激信号输出至膈肌起搏电极131,再由该膈肌起搏电极131将该慢性变频电刺激信号传导给被监测对象的膈肌。本实施例中通过同时给予被监测对象颏舌肌急性电刺激,和给以被监测对象膈肌持续的变频电刺激,使得不仅能够恢复呼吸,同时起到辅助加强开放气道、增强OSAHS的治疗效果。Therefore, in another specific embodiment, when the monitored subject is in a sleep state and it is determined that the breathing condition of the monitored subject is abnormal according to the analysis of sleep parameters, the electrical stimulation signal generation module 12 starts the generation of the acute electrical stimulation signal mode. At the same time, the chronic variable-frequency electrical stimulation mode can also be started, that is, the programmable microprocessor 121 can be used to generate acute electrical stimulation signal parameters according to the sleep parameters to trigger the electrical stimulation signal generator 122 to generate acute electrical stimulation signals, and at the same time, preset The parameters of the chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation signal are used to trigger the electrical stimulation signal generator 122 to generate a chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation signal; and the electrical stimulation signal generator 122 is used to generate the corresponding acute electrical stimulation signal according to the parameters of the acute electrical stimulation signal, and according to In the acute electrical stimulation signal parameters, the gating parameter gates the first output channel connected to the genioglossus electrode, and then the acute electrical stimulation signal is output to the genioglossus electrode 132 through the first output channel, and finally the genioglossus electrode 13 Conduct the acute electrical stimulation signal to the genioglossus of the monitored subject, and the electrical stimulation signal generator 122 is also used to generate a chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation signal according to the above-mentioned parameters of the chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation signal, and generate a chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation signal according to the chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation signal In the signal parameters, the gating parameter gates the second output channel connected to the diaphragm pacing electrode 131, and outputs the chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation signal to the diaphragm pacing electrode 131 through the second output channel, and then the diaphragm pacing electrode 131 will The chronic variable-frequency electrical stimulation signal is transmitted to the diaphragm of the monitored object. In this embodiment, by simultaneously giving the monitored subject an acute electrical stimulation of the genioglossus muscle and a continuous variable-frequency electrical stimulation of the monitored subject’s diaphragm, not only can breathing be restored, but at the same time, it can assist in strengthening the opening of the airway and enhance the therapeutic effect of OSAHS .

当被监测对象未处于睡眠状态时,则电刺激发生模块12启动慢性变频电刺激模式产生慢性变频电刺激信号,即可编程微处理器121将存储的被监测对象或医务人员预设的慢性变频电刺激信号参数发送给电刺激信号发生器122以触发其产生慢性变频电刺激信号,则电刺激信号发生器122根据该预设的慢性变频电刺激信号参数产生对应的慢性变频电刺激信号,并根据该慢性变频电刺激信号参数中的选通参数选通对应的输出通道将产生的慢性变频电刺激信号输出至相应的膈肌起搏电极131和/或颏舌肌电极132,再由膈肌起搏电极131和/或颏舌肌电极132将该慢性变频电刺激信号传导给被监测对象的膈肌和/或颏舌肌。例如,当患有COPD的被监测对象未处于睡眠状态,则可编程微处理器121将被监测对象或者医务人员预设的慢性变频电刺激信号参数发送给电刺激信号发生器122以触发其产生慢性变频电刺激信号,该慢性变频电刺激信号参数包括该慢性变频电刺激信号的强度、方向、时间长度和周期,以及选通电刺激信号发生器122上与膈肌起搏电极131相连的第二输出通道的选通参数;电刺激信号发生器122则根据该慢性变频电刺激信号参数产生对应的慢性变频电刺激信号,并选通第二输出通道,再将该慢性变频电刺激信号输出至该膈肌起搏电极131;膈肌起搏电极131则将该电刺激信号发生器122输出的慢性变频电刺激信号传导给被监测对象的膈肌。而当患有SOAHS的被监测对象未处于睡眠状态时,其原理与上述原理相同,不同的是,当电刺激信号发生器122产生慢性变频电刺激信号后,其通过第一输出通道将该慢性变频电刺激信号输出至颏舌肌电极132,并由该颏舌肌电极132将该慢性变频电刺激信号传导给被监测对象的颏舌肌。若当被监测对象同时患有该COPD和OSAHS时,则该电刺激信号发生器122产生慢性变频电刺激信号后,同时选通与膈肌起搏电极131相连的第二输出通道,和与颏舌肌电极132相连的第一输出通道,并分别通过这两个通道将该慢性变频电刺激信号输出至膈肌起搏电极131和颏舌肌132,再由该膈肌起搏电极131和颏舌肌电极132分别传导给被监测对象的膈肌和颏舌肌进行电刺激治疗。When the monitored object is not in a sleep state, the electrical stimulation generating module 12 starts the chronic frequency-variable electrical stimulation mode to generate a chronic variable-frequency electrical stimulation signal, that is, the programmable microprocessor 121 will store the monitored object or the chronic frequency-variable frequency preset by the medical staff. The electrical stimulation signal parameters are sent to the electrical stimulation signal generator 122 to trigger it to generate a chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation signal, then the electrical stimulation signal generator 122 generates a corresponding chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation signal according to the preset chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation signal parameters, and According to the gating parameters in the chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation signal parameters, the corresponding output channel is gated to output the generated chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation signal to the corresponding diaphragmatic muscle pacing electrode 131 and/or genioglossus muscle electrode 132, and then the diaphragmatic muscle is paced The electrode 131 and/or the genioglossus electrode 132 transmits the chronic variable-frequency electrical stimulation signal to the diaphragm and/or genioglossus of the monitored subject. For example, when the monitored subject suffering from COPD is not in a sleep state, the programmable microprocessor 121 sends the chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation signal parameters preset by the monitored subject or medical staff to the electrical stimulation signal generator 122 to trigger its generation. Chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation signal, the chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation signal parameters include the intensity, direction, time length and period of the chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation signal, and the second output connected to the diaphragm pacing electrode 131 on the gate electrical stimulation signal generator 122 The gating parameters of the channel; the electrical stimulation signal generator 122 generates a corresponding chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation signal according to the chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation signal parameters, and gates the second output channel, and then outputs the chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation signal to the diaphragm The pacing electrode 131; the diaphragm pacing electrode 131 conducts the chronic variable-frequency electrical stimulation signal output by the electrical stimulation signal generator 122 to the diaphragm of the monitored subject. And when the monitored subject suffering from SOAHS is not in a sleep state, its principle is the same as the above-mentioned principle, the difference is that after the electrical stimulation signal generator 122 generates a chronic frequency-variable electrical stimulation signal, it passes the chronic variable-frequency electrical stimulation signal through the first output channel. The variable-frequency electrical stimulation signal is output to the genioglossus muscle electrode 132, and the chronic variable-frequency electrical stimulation signal is transmitted to the genioglossus muscle of the monitored subject by the genioglossus muscle electrode 132. If when the monitored object suffers from the COPD and OSAHS at the same time, after the electrical stimulation signal generator 122 generates the chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation signal, the second output channel connected with the diaphragmatic muscle pacing electrode 131 is selected simultaneously, and the second output channel connected with the genioglossal electrode 131 is selected. The first output channel connected to the muscle electrode 132, and the chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation signal is output to the diaphragm pacing electrode 131 and the genioglossus muscle 132 respectively through these two channels, and then the diaphragm pacing electrode 131 and the genioglossus muscle electrode 132 are respectively conducted to the diaphragm and genioglossus of the monitored subject for electrical stimulation treatment.
当被监测对象处于睡眠状态时,则可编程微处理器121根据实时监测模块11实时监测得到的睡眠参数分析判断该被监测对象呼吸状况是否正常,若不正常则启动急性电刺激模式,即可编程微处理器121根据该实时监测得到的睡眠参数产生对应的急性电刺激信号参数,该急性电刺激信号参数包括急性电刺激模式下该急性电刺激信号的强度、方向、时间长度和周期,以及选通电刺激信号发生器122第一输出通道和/或第二输出通道的选通参数,电刺激信号发生器122则根据该急性电刺激信号参数产生对应的急性电刺激信号,并根据上述的选通参数选通对应的输出通道,再将产生的该急性电刺激信号通过选通的输出通道输出至对应的膈肌起搏电极131和/或颏舌肌电极132,最后,由膈肌起搏电极131和/或颏舌肌电极132将该急性电刺激信号传导给被监测对象的膈肌和/或颏舌肌;且当根据实时监测得到的睡眠参数判断出被监测对象经过急性电刺激信号进行电刺激治疗后恢复正常时,则可编程微处理器121控制急性电刺激模式关闭,即不产生急性电刺激信号参数触发电刺激信号发生器122产生急性电刺激信号。例如,当患有COPD的被监测对象处于睡眠状态时,可编程微处理器121根据实时监测模块11实时监测得到的睡眠参数分析判断该被监测对象的呼吸状况是否正常,若不正常则根据该睡眠参数产生急性电刺激信号参数,该急性电刺激参数包括急性电刺激模式下的该急性电刺激信号的强度、方向、时间长度和周期,以及选通电刺激信号发生器122中与膈肌起搏电极131相连的第一输出通道的选通参数;电刺激信号发生器122则根据该急性电刺激信号参数产生对应的急性电刺激信号,并根据该选通参数选通与膈肌起搏电极131相连的第一输出通道,再通过该第一输出通道将产生的该急性电刺激信号输出至该膈肌起搏电极131;膈肌起搏电极131则将该急性电刺激信号传导给被监测对象的膈肌。且当经过电刺激治疗后,再次根据实时监测得到的睡眠参数判断出被监测对象呼吸状况恢复为正常时,则控制关闭急性电刺激模式。当患有SOAHS的被监测对象处于睡眠状态时,其原理与上述原理相同,不同的是,当电刺激信号发生器122产生急性电刺激信号后,其通过与颏舌肌电极132相连的第二输出通道将该急性电刺激信号输出至颏舌肌电极132,并由该颏舌肌电极132将该急性电刺激信号传导给被监测对象的颏舌肌。而当被监测对象同时患有COPD和OSAHS时,则该电刺激信号发生器122可将产生的急性电刺激信号分别通过第二输出通道和第一输出通道输出给膈肌起搏电极131和颏舌肌电极132,由该膈肌起搏电极131和颏舌肌电极132同时对被监测对象的膈肌和颏舌肌进行电刺激治疗。When the monitored object is in a sleep state, the programmable microprocessor 121 analyzes and judges whether the monitored object's respiratory condition is normal according to the sleep parameters monitored by the real-time monitoring module 11, and if it is not normal, starts the acute electrical stimulation mode. The programming microprocessor 121 generates corresponding acute electrical stimulation signal parameters according to the sleep parameters obtained by the real-time monitoring, and the acute electrical stimulation signal parameters include the intensity, direction, time length and period of the acute electrical stimulation signal in the acute electrical stimulation mode, and Gating the gating parameters of the first output channel and/or the second output channel of the electrical stimulation signal generator 122, the electrical stimulation signal generator 122 generates a corresponding acute electrical stimulation signal according to the acute electrical stimulation signal parameters, and according to the above selection The corresponding output channel is gated through the parameters, and then the generated acute electrical stimulation signal is output to the corresponding diaphragmatic muscle pacing electrode 131 and/or genioglossus electrode 132 through the gated output channel, and finally, the diaphragmatic muscle pacing electrode 131 And/or the genioglossus electrode 132 conducts the acute electrical stimulation signal to the diaphragm and/or genioglossus of the monitored subject; When returning to normal after treatment, the programmable microprocessor 121 controls the acute electrical stimulation mode to be turned off, that is, no acute electrical stimulation signal is generated. The parameter triggers the electrical stimulation signal generator 122 to generate an acute electrical stimulation signal. For example, when a monitored subject suffering from COPD is in a sleep state, the programmable microprocessor 121 analyzes and judges whether the breathing condition of the monitored subject is normal according to the sleep parameter analysis obtained by the real-time monitoring module 11, and if it is not normal, then according to the The sleep parameters generate acute electrical stimulation signal parameters, and the acute electrical stimulation parameters include the intensity, direction, time length and period of the acute electrical stimulation signal in the acute electrical stimulation mode, and gate electrical stimulation signal generator 122 and diaphragm pacemaker electrode The gating parameters of the first output channel connected to 131; the electrical stimulation signal generator 122 generates corresponding acute electrical stimulation signals according to the acute electrical stimulation signal parameters, and gates the diaphragm connected to the diaphragm pacing electrode 131 according to the gating parameters. The first output channel outputs the generated acute electrical stimulation signal to the diaphragm pacing electrode 131 through the first output channel; the diaphragm pacing electrode 131 transmits the acute electrical stimulation signal to the diaphragm of the monitored subject. And when it is judged that the breathing condition of the monitored subject has returned to normal according to the sleep parameters obtained by real-time monitoring after the electrical stimulation treatment, the acute electrical stimulation mode is controlled to be turned off. When the monitored subject suffering from SOAHS is in a sleep state, its principle is the same as the above-mentioned principle, and the difference is that after the electrical stimulation signal generator 122 produces an acute electrical stimulation signal, it passes through the second electrical stimulation signal connected to the genioglossus electrode 132. The output channel outputs the acute electrical stimulation signal to the genioglossus muscle electrode 132, and the acute electrical stimulation signal is transmitted to the genioglossus muscle of the monitored subject through the genioglossus muscle electrode 132. And when the monitored object suffers from COPD and OSAHS at the same time, then the electrical stimulation signal generator 122 can output the acute electrical stimulation signal generated to the diaphragmatic muscle pacing electrode 131 and the geniotongue through the second output channel and the first output channel respectively. Muscle electrode 132, the diaphragm muscle and genioglossus muscle of the monitored object are simultaneously electrically stimulated by the diaphragm pacing electrode 131 and the genioglossus electrode 132.
在另一具体实施例中,当患有SOAHS的被监测对象处于睡眠状态,且其呼吸状况不正常时,该电刺激信号发生模块12启动急性电刺激模式的同时也可启动慢性变频电刺激模式,即电刺激信号发生器122在根据可编程微处理器121产生急性电刺激信号参数生产急性电刺激信号的同时,还可根据预设的慢性变频电刺激信号参数生产慢性变频电刺激信号,并根据该急性电刺激信号参数中的选通参数和慢性变频电刺激信号参数中的选通参数,分别选通与颏舌肌电极132相连的第二输出通道和与膈肌起搏电极131相连的第一输出通道,并分别通过该第一输出通道将该急性电刺激信号输出至颏舌肌电极132,以及通过该第二输出通道将该慢性变频电刺激信号输出至膈肌电极131;再由该颏舌肌电极132将急性电刺激信号传导给被监测对象的颏舌肌进行电刺激治疗,以及由该电极131将该慢性变频电刺激信号传导给被监测对象的膈肌进行电刺激治疗。且当经过电刺激治疗后,再次根据实时监测得到的睡眠参数判断出被监测对象呼吸状况恢复为正常时,则控制关闭急性电刺激模式和慢性变频电刺激模式。In another specific embodiment, when the monitored subject suffering from SOAHS is in a sleep state and his breathing condition is not normal, the electrical stimulation signal generation module 12 can also start the chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation mode while starting the acute electrical stimulation mode That is, the electrical stimulation signal generator 122 can also produce chronic variable-frequency electrical stimulation signals according to preset chronic variable-frequency electrical stimulation signal parameters while producing acute electrical stimulation signal parameters according to the programmable microprocessor 121, and According to the gating parameters in the acute electrical stimulation signal parameters and the gating parameters in the chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation signal parameters, the second output channel connected to the genioglossus muscle electrode 132 and the second output channel connected to the diaphragmatic muscle pacing electrode 131 are selected respectively. An output channel, and output the acute electrical stimulation signal to the genioglossus muscle electrode 132 through the first output channel, and output the chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation signal to the diaphragm electrode 131 through the second output channel; The tongue muscle electrode 132 transmits the acute electrical stimulation signal to the genioglossus muscle of the monitored subject for electrical stimulation treatment, and the electrode 131 transmits the chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation signal to the monitored subject's diaphragm for electrical stimulation treatment. And when it is judged that the breathing condition of the monitored object has returned to normal according to the sleep parameters obtained by real-time monitoring after the electrical stimulation treatment, the acute electrical stimulation mode and the chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation mode are controlled to be turned off.
若被监测对象同时患有COPD和OSAHS,且监测到其处于呼吸异常时,可采用上述方式中的急性电刺激模式,即采用急性电刺激信号分别对膈肌和颏舌肌进行电刺激治疗,也可采用上述方式中的急性电刺激模式结合慢性变频电刺激模式,即采用急性电刺激信号对颏舌肌进行电刺激治疗的同时,采用慢性变频电刺激方式对其膈肌进行电刺激治疗。If the monitored subject suffers from COPD and OSAHS at the same time, and it is monitored that he is in abnormal breathing, the acute electrical stimulation mode in the above method can be used, that is, the acute electrical stimulation signal is used to electrically stimulate the diaphragm and genioglossus respectively, and also The acute electrical stimulation mode in the above method can be combined with the chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation mode, that is, while the acute electrical stimulation signal is used to electrically stimulate the genioglossus muscle, the chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation method is used to electrically stimulate the diaphragm muscle.
