Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tracheotomy tube correction mechanisms, in particular to a tracheotomy tube correction device. Background Art

[0002] Dyspnea is the most common clinical manifestation in critically ill patients. During an episode of acute respiratory failure, patients are generally ventilated via endotracheal intubation, but when mechanical ventilation is expected to be prolonged, tracheotomy is often considered, which can improve the quality of care, improve patient comfort, reduce the need for sedation, and improve the patient's ability to communicate.

[0003] However, if the tracheostomy tube is not properly cared for, the incidence of post-intubation complications, such as tracheal stenosis and tracheoesophageal fistula, will be greatly increased. The occurrence of these complications is closely related to the incorrect fixed position of the tracheostomy tube. Under normal circumstances, the tracheostomy tube should be 2 to 6 cm above the tracheal ridge, and the tube should always be kept in the middle vertical position of the trachea. Once the position is shifted, the tracheostomy tube will be pulled to varying degrees. Keeping the tracheostomy tube in the pulled state for a long time will greatly increase the risk of damage to the tracheal endothelium. In addition, unfavorable conditions such as the critical condition of ICU patients and poor overall nutritional status will eventually lead to the occurrence of tracheal stenosis and tracheoesophageal fistula.
