Medical displacement-preventing temperature measuring dental pad

Abstract

This invention discloses a medical anti-displacement temperature measuring dental pad, comprising a dental pad body. The side wall of the dental pad body has an arc-shaped concave groove, and the inner wall of the dental pad body has two C-shaped guide rope holes, located on opposite sides of the arc-shaped concave groove. An installation groove is formed on the inner wall of the dental pad body away from the arc-shaped concave groove. Through the segmented and precise layout of the C-shaped guide rope holes, the rope loop, after passing through the guide rope holes, forms two independent and cooperative fixing points on the inner and outer sides of the incisors. The dual-point fixing structure works synergistically to restrict the dental pad's rotational freedom and displacement space, ensuring the dental pad remains stable and preventing displacement due to unconscious patient movements. Simultaneously, the dual-point fixing structure securely confines the endotracheal tube within the arc-shaped concave groove of the dental pad, ensuring a tight fit between the endotracheal tube and the dental pad. This not only prevents dental pad rotational displacement but also effectively protects the endotracheal tube from being bitten or crushed.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of dental pad technology, specifically a medical anti-displacement temperature-measuring dental pad. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, endotracheal intubation is required in critical care, respiratory diseases requiring ventilator support, and general anesthesia. Routine endotracheal intubation involves inserting an endotracheal tube through the mouth into the trachea using specialized intubation techniques. One end of the endotracheal tube connects to the lungs within the trachea below the glottis, while the other end is positioned outside the incisors to connect to a ventilator or anesthesia machine for subsequent treatment. The endotracheal tube serves as a vital airway connecting the ventilator and the lungs. If the patient bites down on the endotracheal tube, it can narrow or even block the airway, causing suffocation and endangering life. Therefore, after successful intubation, a hard bite block is inserted between the upper and lower incisors to prevent the endotracheal tube from being bitten down. The bite block is then secured to the endotracheal tube outside the incisors with tape or rope, and further secured to both cheeks with tape or tied behind the neck with rope to prevent dislodgement. However, because one end of the bite pad is located inside the incisors and the endotracheal tube passing through the mouth can cause discomfort to the patient, they may unconsciously push the bite pad outward with their tongue. Since the bite pad is fixed to the endotracheal tube at a single fulcrum outside the incisors with tape or rope, the bite pad often rotates and moves, or even moves the entire bite pad outside the incisors, losing its function of protecting the endotracheal tube from being bitten and collapsing. This exposes the endotracheal tube to the risk of being bitten and collapsing, thereby affecting the airway and endangering life.

[0003] Furthermore, in patients undergoing general anesthesia, such as during laparoscopic surgery where artificial pneumoperitoneum with carbon dioxide is required, body temperature will decrease. In procedures like ureteroscopy or hysteroscopy, the surgery requires flushing with large amounts of saline solution to ensure a clear surgical field (otherwise, bleeding will obscure the view, affecting the surgical procedure), but this large-scale flushing will lower the patient's body temperature. Decreased body temperature leads to a series of pathophysiological changes, affecting the patient's postoperative recovery and recovery. Hypothermia affects blood pressure, heart rate, anesthesia recovery, and postoperative recovery, making intraoperative temperature monitoring increasingly important. Currently, continuous urethral temperature measurement is available, but this is an invasive procedure and cannot be routinely performed. Endotracheal tube temperature measurement is also available, but the introduction of fresh air into the respiratory tract during artificial respiration affects the accuracy of temperature measurement. In patients under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation, fresh air mainly enters the lungs directly through the endotracheal tube, with relatively little fresh gas exchange in the oral cavity. Furthermore, oral temperature measurement is a traditional and widely accepted method of measuring body temperature. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a medical anti-displacement temperature measuring dental pad to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a medical anti-displacement temperature-measuring dental pad, comprising a dental pad body, wherein an arc-shaped concave groove is formed on the side wall of the dental pad body, and two C-shaped guide rope holes are formed on the inner wall of the dental pad body, the two C-shaped guide rope holes being located on both sides of the arc-shaped concave groove respectively. An installation groove is formed on the inner wall of the dental pad body away from the arc-shaped concave groove, and a temperature sensor is disposed inside the installation groove. A wire and a temperature measuring connector are disposed on the outer wall of the dental pad body, and the temperature measuring connector is electrically connected to the temperature sensor through the wire.

[0006] Preferably, the top of the dental pad body is provided with a hollow groove, and connecting plates are fixedly installed on both side walls of the dental pad body.

[0007] Preferably, the arc-shaped concave groove is used to fit the endotracheal tube.

[0008] Preferably, the C-shaped guide hole is used to pass through the rope loop, and the rope loop is used to cover the endotracheal tube.

[0009] Preferably, the hollow groove is used to suction oral secretions.

[0010] Preferably, the ends of the two C-shaped guide holes near the wire are located outside the incisors, and the other end of the two C-shaped guide holes is located inside the incisors.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Through the segmented and precise layout of the C-shaped guide rope holes, the rope loop, after passing through the guide rope holes, forms two independent and cooperative fixed fulcrums on the inner and outer sides of the incisors. These two fixed points mutually restrain and coordinate their force, spatially restricting the rotational freedom and displacement space of the dental pad, ensuring that the dental pad always maintains a stable positioning state and will not shift due to unconscious patient movements. Simultaneously, the dual-fulcrum fixing structure can firmly fix the endotracheal tube within the arc-shaped concave groove of the dental pad, ensuring a tight fit between the endotracheal tube and the dental pad. Even if the patient bites down forcefully, the dental pad can effectively withstand the biting force, preventing the endotracheal tube from being squeezed or collapsed, ensuring airway patency, and providing a solid guarantee for the patient's life safety. This is especially suitable for patients under general anesthesia, those with impaired consciousness, or those unable to voluntarily control their oral movements.

[0012] This invention incorporates a temperature sensor embedded within the dental pad itself, enabling non-invasive, real-time oral temperature monitoring, leveraging the standard intraoperative placement of dental pads in the patient's mouth. The oral cavity is a traditional and standard clinical site for temperature measurement, offering a stable environment with minimal external interference. Compared to urethral or airway temperature measurement methods, the obtained temperature data is more accurate and stable, providing a true reflection of the patient's core temperature changes during surgery. Once operational, the temperature sensor within the dental pad's mounting slot detects the temperature within the patient's mouth in real time. The sensor transmits the detected temperature signal via a wire to a temperature sensor connector on the outer wall of the dental pad. The connector receives the transmitted signal, converts it into readable temperature data, and allows staff to read the patient's real-time oral temperature using an external device connected to the connector. This dynamic monitoring fills a technological gap in non-invasive, precise intraoperative temperature monitoring, improves the entire surgical vital signs monitoring system, and provides comprehensive and accurate data support for clinical surgical safety and patient assessment.

[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-4This invention provides a technical solution: a medical anti-displacement temperature measuring dental pad, comprising a dental pad body 1, an arc-shaped concave groove 8 on the side wall of the dental pad body 1 for fitting a tracheal tube, two C-shaped guide rope holes 9 on the inner wall of the dental pad body 1, the two C-shaped guide rope holes 9 being located on both sides of the arc-shaped concave groove 8, the C-shaped guide rope holes 9 for passing through a rope loop and using the rope loop to cover the tracheal tube, the ends of the two C-shaped guide rope holes 9 near the wire 6 being located outside the incisors, the other ends of the two C-shaped guide rope holes 9 being located inside the incisors, an installation groove 4 on the inner wall of the dental pad body 1 away from the arc-shaped concave groove 8, a temperature sensor 5 being installed inside the installation groove 4, a wire 6 and a temperature measuring connector 7 being installed on the outer wall of the dental pad body 1, the temperature measuring connector 7 being electrically connected to the temperature sensor 5 through the wire 6, a hollow groove 3 on the top of the dental pad body 1 for suctioning oral secretions, and connecting plates 2 being fixedly installed on both side walls of the dental pad body 1.

[0020] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: First, the rope end of the loop is passed through the top of one of the C-shaped guide holes 9, and then exits from the bottom of the same C-shaped guide hole 9. The rope end then enters from the bottom of another C-shaped guide hole 9, and finally exits from the top of yet another C-shaped guide hole 9. The loop is left with an appropriate length and smoothed out to prepare for subsequent fixation of the endotracheal tube. The endotracheal tube is placed in the arc-shaped concave groove 8 opened on the side wall of the bite block body 1. The arc-shaped structure of the arc-shaped concave groove 8 fits tightly against the outer wall of the endotracheal tube to achieve initial positioning of the endotracheal tube. The loop located at the lower end of the bite block is then inserted into the endotracheal tube in the arc-shaped concave groove 8. The bite pad body 1, with the ligature and endotracheal tube secured, is placed between the patient's upper and lower incisors, ensuring the inner wall of the bite pad body 1 conforms to the patient's incisors and the inside of the mouth, guaranteeing stable placement. Ensure that the ends of the two C-shaped guide rope holes 9 closest to the guide wire 6 are outside the incisors, and the other end is inside the incisors. Slowly tighten both ends of the ligature outside the incisors to bring the ligature into contact with the outer wall of the endotracheal tube, securing it tightly. This ensures a tight fit between the ligature, the endotracheal tube, and the bite pad body 1, firmly fixing the endotracheal tube to the bite pad body 1. This creates two fixation points: one inside the incisors and one outside, preventing rotation and displacement of the bite pad. The device effectively protects the endotracheal tube from collapsing when bitten. The hollow groove 3 at the top of the dental pad 1 collects secretions from the patient's mouth, preventing accumulation and reducing the risk of aspiration, while maintaining oral hygiene. Additionally, a temperature sensor 5 is embedded within the dental pad, enabling non-invasive, real-time oral temperature monitoring, typical of dental pad placement during surgery. The oral cavity is a traditional and standard clinical site for temperature measurement, offering a stable environment with minimal external interference. Compared to urethral or airway temperature measurement, the obtained temperature data is more accurate and stable, accurately reflecting the patient's core temperature changes during surgery. Once the temperature sensor 5 installed inside the mounting slot 4 starts working, it can detect the temperature inside the patient's mouth in real time. The temperature sensor 5 transmits the detected temperature signal to the temperature measuring connector 7 on the outer wall of the dental pad body 1 through the wire 6. The temperature measuring connector 7 receives the temperature signal transmitted by the wire 6 and converts it into readable temperature data. The staff can read the real-time temperature of the patient's mouth by connecting an external device to the temperature measuring connector 7, realizing dynamic monitoring of the patient's body temperature. This fills the technical gap of non-invasive and accurate body temperature monitoring during surgery, improves the whole-process vital sign monitoring system, and provides comprehensive and accurate data support for clinical surgical safety and disease assessment.
