Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical endoscopes, and in particular to a device for using an electronic video bronchoscope for tracheal intubation and laryngeal diagnosis and treatment, specifically an intubation device that can be used alone or in combination with a fiber bronchoscope for difficult airways. Background Art
[0002] Since the invention of the world's first laryngoscope in Caheza, Spain in 1855, various new laryngoscopes have continuously emerged. With technological advancements, the Glidescope video laryngoscope, invented by Saturn, Canada in 2001, revolutionized tracheal intubation and laryngeal diagnosis and treatment. Consequently, video laryngoscopes have rapidly gained widespread adoption and application worldwide. In clinical practice, anesthesiologists typically perform tracheal intubation before administering equipment such as anesthesia machines and ventilators. This involves inserting an endotracheal tube (endotracheal tube) into the patient's trachea to connect to the equipment. This intubation requires the support of intubation equipment, most commonly electronic video laryngoscopes. The physician uses the laryngoscope to expose the glottis and then insert the endotracheal tube behind the glottis. In most traditional laryngoscopes, the blade is directly connected to the handle and serves as the primary component, providing support and guiding or generating illumination.
[0003] However, because the various structural parameters of existing laryngoscopes and their accompanying blades are developed based on the anatomical characteristics of the average person's upper respiratory tract, the clinical practicality, safety, and reliability of the same video laryngoscope are significantly compromised when applied to patients with difficult airways, such as those with narrow pharyngeal stenosis, limited mouth opening, and inability to lean back. Because patients with difficult airways have limited mouth opening, video laryngoscopes and their accompanying blades are relatively large and have a large curvature, making it difficult to pass through the tongue root and raise the epiglottis. In some patients with limited mouth opening, the video laryngoscope cannot even be placed in the mouth, or even if it is barely inserted into the mouth, it still fails to expose the glottis or even the epiglottis. Therefore, the currently widely used video laryngoscopes are not satisfactory for tracheal intubation and laryngeal diagnosis and treatment of patients with difficult airways. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention aims to provide an intubation device for difficult airways that can be used alone or in conjunction with a fiberoptic bronchoscope. The technical problem to be solved is that for patients with narrow oropharyngeal stenosis, patients with limited mouth opening, and patients with limited back leaning, if a fiberoptic bronchoscope or an endotracheal tube cannot be inserted through the nasopharynx (such as patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma or those with epistaxis or easily damaged and bleeding nasal mucosa) and thus can only be intubated through the mouth, conventional video laryngoscopes and the laryngoscope blades used therewith are relatively large in size and have a large curvature, resulting in the laryngoscope blades being unable to pass through the tongue base and lift the epiglottis. In some patients with limited mouth opening, the videolaryngoscope cannot even be inserted into the mouth, or even if it is barely inserted into the mouth, it cannot expose the glottis or even the epiglottis. Therefore, an airway can only be established using a difficult airway instrument such as a fiberoptic bronchoscope. However, for such patients, especially those with limited back leaning, the fiberoptic bronchoscope is soft and cannot withstand the force, so it cannot pass through the tongue base to expose the glottis or even the epiglottis, and it often slips into the esophagus, resulting in intubation failure.

The guide mark 121 is preferably set to blue so that it is easier to identify in the oral cavity. An operating handle 13 is fixedly provided on the inner arc surface at the other circumferential end of the guide rail body 11, and the central axis of the operating handle 13 is perpendicular to the chord of the guide rail body 11;
[0037] The insertion catheter 2 includes a tube body 21 bent into an arc segment shape and an arc-shaped plug-in plate 22 integrally formed and connected to the radial inner side of the arc of the tube body 21. The arc-shaped plug-in plate 22 protrudes from the tube body 21 on both sides in the axial direction, and the protruding length is 1mm. The cross-sectional outer contour of the insertion catheter 2 is T-shaped. The inner diameter of the arc on the arc-shaped plug-in plate 22 matches the outer diameter of the arc at the bottom of the T-shaped guide slot 12 on the guide rail body 11. The cross-sectional outer contour of the arc-shaped plug-in plate 22 is T-shaped. The shape and size of the cross-sectional profile of the T-shaped guide slot 12 match, the thickness of the arc-shaped plug-in plate 22 is 1 mm, the corresponding axial width of the tube body 21 matches the corresponding axial width of the notch of the T-shaped guide slot 12, the corresponding radial thickness of the insertion catheter 2 is 5.5 mm, and the insertion catheter 2 is detachably inserted in the T-shaped guide slot 12. The arc length of the tube body 21 exceeds the arc length of the guide rail body 11 by more than 30 mm, and the extended part makes it easier for medical staff to hold the insertion catheter 2.
[0038] During the specific implementation of this embodiment, after the guide rail body 11 is inserted separately, when the tip of the epiglottis can be exposed under the observation of the video soft mirror 4 or the laryngoscope, the fiber bronchoscope can be inserted from the T-shaped guide slot 12, and the fiber bronchoscope can enter the vicinity of the epiglottis under the guidance of the guide mark 121 to expose the glottis, and then the tracheal intubation tube is inserted into the trachea along the T-shaped guide slot 12 and under the observation of the fiber bronchoscope; and when the patient's backward leaning degree is limited and the fiber bronchoscope is blocked by the root of the tongue and cannot pass through, the insertion catheter 2 is inserted into the T-shaped guide slot 12, and the tube body 21 of the insertion catheter 2 can lift the tongue, and its inner tube hole 23 forms a channel, and the fiber bronchoscope can be inserted through the inner tube hole 23 to the vicinity of the epiglottis to avoid slipping into the esophagus and expose the glottis, and then the insertion catheter 2 can be pulled out to insert the tracheal intubation tube.

The inner diameter of the threading hole 15 is 0.5 mm, and one end of the threading hole 15 extends circumferentially to the circumferential end of the operating handle 13 provided on the guide rail body 11, and the other end of the threading hole 15 extends circumferentially to the end close to the hinged end of the tongue depressor 3 and then deflects radially inward to pass through the inner arc surface of the guide rail body 11. A pull wire 31 is passed through the threading hole 15. The diameter of the pull wire 31 matches the threading channel 15. The pull wire 31 is preferably a steel wire. One end of the pull wire 31 is connected to the lower side of the tongue depressor 3 and deviates from the hinge axis 32 between the tongue depressor 3 and the guide rail body 11. The operating handle 13 is provided with an L-shaped pull wire lever 33. The corner portion of the L-shaped pull wire lever 33 is hinged to one side of the operating handle 13. The other end of the pull wire 31 is connected to the L-shaped pull wire lever 33 at one end of the short arm 331. The long arm 332 of the L-shaped pull wire lever 33 forms a clamping structure with the operating handle 13.
[0040] In addition, a flexible covering sheet 34 is connected to the lower side of the tongue depressor 3. The flexible covering sheet 34 can be a thin sheet of rubber or latex material.

[0041] During the specific implementation of this embodiment, the pull wire 31 can be pulled by the pull wire lever 33, thereby linking the tongue depressor 3 to perform a downward hooking action, so that the glottis is smoothly exposed.

The semi-open structure of the inner tube hole 23 allows the fiber bronchoscope or endotracheal tube to break through the two flexible baffles 24 in a relatively radial direction and detach from the inner tube hole 23 of the tube body 21 after reaching a predetermined position, so that the insertion catheter 2 can be used as a sheath tube. After completing its corresponding work content, it can be separated and pulled out from the insertion guide rail 1 alone, which is convenient to use and flexible to operate.
