[0005] 2) Due to the double-lumen bronchial catheter with two ventilation lumens and the influence of the catheter wall, the overall outer
diameter of the double-lumen bronchial catheter is relatively thick, causing greater damage to the
glottis and
throat during
intubation, and more complications. The most common is postoperative
sore throat and hoarseness, even leading to
dislocation of the arytenoid
cartilage;
[0006] 3) The double-lumen bronchial catheter is limited by the inner
diameter of the trachea of the
human body. Due to the limitation of the inner
diameter of the
glottis in children, the diameter of a single lumen is small, and it is impossible to produce thinner products that can be used by children, which limits its use in children. applications in groups
The current double-lumen bronchial catheter can only be used in children over 10 years old;
[0007] 4) The double-lumen bronchial catheter is limited by the inner diameter of the trachea of the
human body, resulting in a small diameter of a single lumen, which is not conducive to the
secretion cleaning operation
[0009] 1) The placement and positioning of the bronchial occluder is difficult and requires the assistance of video tools. That is to say, the video tool and the bronchial occluder need to be operated at the same time. The operation is relatively complicated and requires experienced anesthesiologists to implement it smoothly;
[0010] 2) When positioning the bronchial occluder, the video tool and the bronchial occluder need to be inserted into the cooperating single-lumen
endotracheal tube at the same time. For patients over 6 years old, children under 6 years old are difficult to use;
[0011] 3) When in use, the bronchial occluder is used to block the bronchial opening of the surgical side lung, and it is difficult to
discharge the gas in the surgical side lung; it is impossible to clean the secretions of the surgical side lung; when the surgical side lung needs to be inflated, the bronchial The gas in the occluder air bag is discharged, and the lung on the operated side is inflated through the single-lumen tube, which will cause blood or secretions in the bronchi of the operated side lung to flow into the main trachea, resulting in
pollution of the non-operated side lung and the main trachea;
[0012] 4) The balloon of the bronchial occluder is not easy to fix, and the lung
isolation effect is unstable. It is easy to shift during the operation, resulting in poor lung
isolation effect, and the high-pressure and low-volume balloon is easy to cause mucosal damage;
[0014] 6) The production process of the bronchial occluder is relatively difficult and expensive, which is several times that of the double-lumen bronchial catheter, which places a heavy economic burden on the patient
This operation is a positioning operation, the depth needs to be relatively accurate, and it often takes several times to complete, which can lead to mucosal damage, bleeding, and even
bronchospasm at the bronchial opening;
[0019] 4) Pulmonary hemorrhage and
mucus accumulation on the surgical side above the single-lumen endotracheal tube balloon, lack of effective suction method, easy to cause atelectasis due to blood clots or
mucus blocking the bronchial opening of the surgical side, or blood or
mucus flowing into the non-operative side
bronchus and Main trachea, leading to
contamination of non-operated lung and main trachea
[0020] 5) If the tube cannot be extubated after the operation,
respiratory support is needed, and the single-lumen endotracheal tube used together needs to use subglottic secretions to clean the endotracheal tube, and the cost will increase significantly
[0021] 6) When the single-balloon single-lumen endotracheal tube is used for long-term
respiratory support, the same position may be compressed by the
airbag, resulting in
ischemia and
necrosis of the mucosa in the trachea, and even ulcers and scar formation, resulting in narrowing of the tracheal cavity
[0022] In summary, there is a lack of a simple, effective, safe and practical method that can effectively exhaust, inflate, and
clean up secretions on the surgical side of the lung during surgery, and does not require extubation and
intubation when respiratory support is required at the end of the operation. It can also
clean up subglottic secretions during respiratory support, and the position of the sealed air bag can be rotated to prevent the
mucous membrane of the inner wall of the trachea from being compressed by
ischemia and
necrosis. It is a single-lung and double-
lung ventilation management tool
