Tooth protector for assisting laryngoscope intubation

Abstract

The invention provides a tooth protector for assisting a laryngoscope intubation operation. The tooth protector comprises tooth bodies (1) made according to the shapes of upper teeth and lower teeth of the human body, the tooth bodies (1) comprise incisor sleeves (2), canine tooth sleeves, bicuspid sleeves and tooth grinding sleeves; the heights of the incisor sleeves (2) are larger than the heights of other tooth sleeves, at least one pair of protruding barbs (3) are arranged at the portions, far away from the ends of gingivae, of the incisor sleeves (2), and barbs of upper incisor sleeves and barbs of lower incisor sleeves can be intersected and locked. When the tooth protector is used for assisting laryngoscope intubation treatment, the mouth opening degree of a patient can be increased, the patient can breathe, the glottis is easy to expose, and the success rate of laryngoscope tracheal intubation can be increased; meanwhile, the tooth protector is used, incomplete teeth can be further protected, or crowds with falling incisors are subjected to laryngoscope intubation treatment, and the phenomenon that as the tooth protector is merged into a laryngoscope during intubation, falling of residual teeth or gingivae injuring is prevented.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical auxiliary equipment, and in particular relates to a tooth protector, which can be used when laryngoscope intubation treatment is performed on patients, and plays a very good role of protection and assistance. Background technique [0002] A laryngoscope is a medical device commonly used in oral and tracheal procedures to obtain a view of the glottis or larynx or to manipulate tongue, glottis, or larynx aids to facilitate endotracheal tubes or other instruments Insertion of (such as an endoscope). There are many clinical places where laryngoscopy is required, such as general anesthesia patients in the anesthesiology department, intensive care unit, emergency department, and critically ill patients in other clinical departments who need controlled breathing. Tracheal intubation must be performed. The patient's tracheal intubation needs the assistance of an anesthesia laryngoscope, and the operation...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Due to various clinical factors, such as the abnormal anatomical structure of the patient's oral cavity and pharynx, the influence of blood and secretions, or the obstruction of the glottis when the endotracheal tube is inserted, it is often easy to cause the laryngoscopy operation to fail to expose the glottis at one time. or in the process of dealing with difficult airways, there will be only visible intubation without ventilation function. In this case, it is often unfavorable for treatment, and repeated intubation will delay treatment, and the medical efficiency is low.

On the other hand, since the ordinary laryngoscope is lifted forward and upward when exposing the glottis, it is easy to damage the gingiva of the incomplete upper incisor or the remaining upper incisor, and if the upper incisor falls off, it will affect the success of laryngoscope intubation Rate
