Description
The present invention relates to an abnormal respiratory diagnostic apparatus and method, and more particularly, to an abnormal respiratory diagnostic apparatus and method capable of detecting abnormal breathing (including low breathing or apnea) by measuring the concentration of carbon dioxide contained in breathing during exhalation .
Abnormal breathing is a respiratory phenomenon caused by injury and airway obstruction, hypoxic environment, abnormal oxygen transport ability of blood, central paralysis control paralysis, etc.
Abnormal breathing includes sleep hypnotic and sleep apnea.
Hypopnea is a phenomenon in which respiration does not stop completely but the respiratory rate decreases by 30% or more during sleep and the oxygen saturation decreases by 4% or more for 10 seconds or more.
Sleep apnea is a temporary respiratory arrest during sleep.
If the supply of oxygen to the body is not reduced or supplied due to abnormal breathing, the oxygen saturation (the degree of oxygen contained in the blood) in the body becomes abnormally low. In particular, sleep fragmentation at night due to sleep apnea causes Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS) and decreases arterial oxygen saturation (O 2 saturation). Decreased oxygen saturation not only causes hypertension, arrhythmia, but can also cause serious consequences such as heart attack and sudden death during sleep.
Therefore, in order to prepare for the sleep apnea state, it is necessary for the subject to detect whether or not the sleep apnea symptom is present.
In the past, a method of measuring the respiration status of a subject in a state where a person to be examined was taking a sleeping tube was used for measuring abnormal breathing symptoms.
The above method has a problem that the oxygen saturation of the lung can not be measured although it is possible to measure the abnormality of the subject.
Prior art to the present invention is exemplified by the registered patent 10-742744.

In order to attain the above object, the present invention provides an apparatus for diagnosing an abnormal breathing symptom of a subject to be examined, the apparatus comprising: a main body of a diagnostic apparatus covered on the face of the subject; A power supply unit for supplying power necessary for operation; A carbon dioxide sensor disposed on the main body of the diagnostic apparatus and measuring the concentration of carbon dioxide contained in the exhalation of the examinee and outputting a corresponding signal; A determination unit for analyzing the output signal of the carbon dioxide sensor to determine whether the abnormal examination of the examinee is abnormal; And a display unit for displaying a determination result of the determination unit.
A memory unit for storing signals output from the carbon dioxide sensor, and an output terminal for outputting data stored in the memory unit to the outside.
Wherein the main body of the diagnosis unit comprises a unit body which covers the both eyes of the examinee, a fixing line which is disposed at both ends of the unit body to keep the unit body in a fixed state, and a fixing unit which is arranged on the fixing line, And a power supply cutoff unit that cuts off the operation of the power supply unit when the tension is less than a predetermined value by using an output signal of the tension sensor.
The power supply interruption unit may include a timer for counting a predetermined time when the tension is less than a predetermined value, a power supply sensing unit for sensing whether the power supply unit is turned off, And a warning unit for outputting a signal for warning of the departure of the unit body if the unit body is not detected.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an abnormal respiratory diagnostic apparatus comprising: an abnormal respiratory diagnostic apparatus according to claim 1; Measuring the concentration of carbon dioxide contained in the exhalation of the subject to be examined while sleeping; Measuring an interval of the exhalation; Determining an ideal breathing state according to an increase value of the concentration of carbon dioxide included in the exhalation; And displaying the determined abnormal breathing state.
Stopping the progress of the step of measuring the concentration of carbon dioxide when the abnormal respiratory diagnostic apparatus is detached, and notifying the stop of the concentration measurement step can do.
Wherein the abnormal breathing is judged to be low breathing if the maximum value detection interval of the concentration of carbon dioxide is 10 seconds or more and the increase value of the concentration of carbon dioxide in the exhalation and the next exhalation is less than 5% The detection interval of the maximum concentration is 10 seconds or more, and if the increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the exhalation and the next exhalation is 5% or more, it can be judged as apnea.
When the apnea is determined to be apnea, the apnea index can be converted and output according to the following equation (1).
[Equation 1]
Apnea index = (total number of times of total sleeping time / maximum detection of concentration of carbon dioxide)
The present invention as described above can determine the abnormal breathing state (including low breathing or apnea) of the subject to be examined during sleep by measuring the concentration of carbon dioxide contained in the breathing of the subject to be examined.
In addition, the present invention can grasp the abnormal breathing state of the person to be inspected while sleeping, inform the person to be inspected, and recognize the necessity of the abnormal breathing therapy.

The
The judgment of abnormal respiratory symptoms is performed as follows.
The
As the abnormal respiration of the subject is progressed, the carbon dioxide concentration in the alveoli increases because the carbon dioxide in the lung is not discharged to the outside. Here, the concentration value of carbon dioxide contained in the exhalation of the subject is the same as the concentration of carbon dioxide in the alveoli of the subject.
Therefore, if an exhalation is made during abnormal breathing, the carbon dioxide concentration measured by the
The
Here, the concentration of carbon dioxide may temporarily decrease when an exhalation occurs during abnormal breathing, but the concentration of carbon dioxide contained in the exhalation is repeatedly reached to the maximum value by repeating the abnormal breathing.
Therefore, abnormal breathing can be determined by detecting the time interval between exhalation and exhalation and the degree of increase of the concentration of carbon dioxide.
The
Then, the
If the concentration of carbon dioxide contained in the next exhalation is 5% or more higher than the concentration of carbon dioxide contained in the first exhalation, it can be judged as apnea.
The abnormal breathing determination result is displayed through the display unit 160 (S170). Here, even when it is judged as normal breathing, the result is displayed through the
On the other hand, if it is determined that apnea is detected, it is preferable that the apnea index is converted according to the following equation (1), and the apnea degree is informed to the examinee.
The
The present invention can determine the abnormal breathing state (including low breathing or apnea) of the examinee by measuring the concentration of carbon dioxide contained in the exhalation of the examinee, grasping the abnormal breathing state of the examinee, The patient can be informed about the need for abnormal respiration therapy.
