Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of gastroenterology medical instruments, in particular to a gastrointestinal decompression device for the gastroenterology department. Background Art

[0002] Gastrointestinal decompression, commonly known as gastrointestinal decompression, is a medical procedure designed to relieve pressure in the gastrointestinal tract and promote its recovery by removing gas and fluid from it. Gastrointestinal decompression is based on the principle of vacuum suction, which is used to remove gas and fluid from the gastrointestinal tract through a nasogastric tube or other device. During the specific operation, the doctor will insert a flexible plastic tube (gastric tube) through the patient's nose or mouth and connect it to a vacuum suction device to suck out the accumulation of gastrointestinal tract.

[0003] However, when the gastric tube is inserted into the patient's stomach through the patient's mouth, it is difficult to control because the patient's mouth is open for a long time, and different patients have different degrees of mouth opening, resulting in inconvenience in the insertion and fixation of the gastric tube during the process of inserting the gastric tube into the patient's stomach through the patient's mouth, causing severe discomfort to the patient during the gastrointestinal decompression operation.
