Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically, to an intubation device. Background Technology
[0002] Endotracheal intubation, originally short for endotracheal intubation procedure, is a medical interventional surgery. Endotracheal intubation involves inserting a specially designed endotracheal tube through the mouth or nose and through the glottis into the trachea or bronchus. It provides optimal conditions for airway patency, ventilation and oxygen supply, and airway suction, and is an important measure for rescuing patients with respiratory dysfunction.
[0003] When performing endotracheal intubation, medical staff need to determine the appropriate size of the tube. If the tube is too thick, it will be difficult to insert; if the tube is too thin, it will easily dislodge. Therefore, choosing the right tube is crucial. Currently, medical staff only judge the size of the tube based on the patient's height and weight, which cannot accurately select the right tube for the patient. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intubation device that can select a suitable tube according to the patient's trachea or bronchus, thereby avoiding the problem of tube mismatch with the patient's trachea or bronchus.

[0007] In some embodiments of the present invention, the cannula body is connected to a conical guide, and the end of the guide with a relatively large outer diameter is connected to the cannula body.
[0008] In some embodiments of the present invention, the sidewall of the guide member is provided with a plurality of air guide holes, and the plurality of air guide holes are equidistantly arranged.
[0009] In some embodiments of the present invention, a cuff is installed on one side of the cannula body, and the cuff is connected to an inflation tube.
[0010] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first robotic arm includes a first support platform, a first mechanical joint, a second mechanical joint, a first clamping member, a first motor, a second motor, and a third motor. The first motor is installed between the first support platform and the first mechanical joint, the second motor is installed between the first mechanical joint and the second mechanical joint, and the third motor is installed between the second mechanical joint and the first clamping member.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of the present invention have at least the following advantages or beneficial effects:
[0014] An intubation device includes an intubation body, a clamping assembly, a supporting assembly, and a fiberoptic bronchoscope; the fiberoptic bronchoscope includes an eyepiece, an objective lens, an operating part, and a bending part, with the eyepiece connected sequentially to the operating part, the bending part, and the objective lens, and the intubation body sleeved on the bending part; the clamping assembly includes a first robotic arm and a second robotic arm, both of which are mounted on the supporting assembly, the first robotic arm cooperating with the operating part, and the second robotic arm cooperating with the intubation body.
[0015] In the above embodiments, endotracheal intubation is originally an abbreviation for endotracheal intubation, a medical interventional procedure. Endotracheal intubation is a method of inserting a specially designed endotracheal tube through the mouth or nose and through the glottis into the trachea or bronchus. It provides optimal conditions for airway patency, ventilation and oxygen supply, and airway suction, and is an important measure for rescuing patients with respiratory dysfunction. It should be noted that there are six basic anatomical shapes of the human trachea, and the method of tracheal intubation will vary from person to person due to age, body type, and other factors. Medical personnel need to select different types of intubation tubes based on the diameter of the patient's trachea. Specifically, medical personnel first need to examine the patient's tracheal condition. The medical personnel control the first robotic arm to adjust the fiberoptic bronchoscope to examination mode via the operating unit. Then, the medical personnel control the first robotic arm to push the operating unit to insert the objective lens into the patient's mouth. The objective lens can detect the condition of the patient's trachea, and the medical personnel can observe the condition of the patient's trachea through the eyepiece (the objective lens can be a small infrared probe, which can clearly observe the condition inside the patient's body). After observing the patient's tracheal diameter, the medical personnel can select a matching intubation tube for treatment. The medical personnel remove the objective lens from the patient's mouth and then select the intubation tube corresponding to the patient's trachea for placement. At the bend, medical personnel control the first robotic arm to clamp the operating unit, and the second robotic arm to clamp the intubation tube body. Then, the medical personnel simultaneously control the first and second robotic arms to move, placing the intubation tube body into the patient's mouth. The objective lens can collect information from inside the patient's mouth, and the medical personnel can observe the situation inside the patient's mouth through the eyepiece. Moreover, the connection between the intubation tube body and the patient's trachea is smoother with the support of the eyepiece. The medical personnel control the second robotic arm to push the intubation tube body to dock with the patient's trachea. After docking, the other side of the intubation tube body is connected to the ventilator. Finally, the medical personnel remove all medical devices for unified disinfection. Furthermore, the intubation tube body can be set with a scale value along the axial direction, allowing medical personnel to observe the depth of insertion of the intubation tube body in real time during intubation.
[0016] In this embodiment, before performing intubation, medical personnel need to examine the patient's trachea and then select a suitable endotracheal tube to connect with the patient's trachea. In this application, medical personnel can examine the patient's trachea using a fiberoptic bronchoscope, then select a suitable endotracheal tube and place it on the bend. Finally, the medical personnel control the first and second robotic arms to connect the endotracheal tube with the patient's trachea, which improves accuracy. Moreover, a suitable endotracheal tube can prevent it from failing to enter the trachea and can also prevent the endotracheal tube from falling out of the patient's trachea.

[0028] In the above embodiments, endotracheal intubation is originally an abbreviation for endotracheal intubation, a medical interventional procedure. Endotracheal intubation is a method of inserting a specially designed endotracheal tube through the mouth or nose and through the glottis into the trachea or bronchus. It provides optimal conditions for airway patency, ventilation and oxygen supply, and airway suction, and is an important measure for rescuing patients with respiratory dysfunction. It should be noted that there are six basic anatomical shapes of the human trachea, and the form of tracheal intubation will vary from person to person due to age, body type, and other factors. Medical personnel need to select different models of intubation tubes 11 according to the diameter of the patient's trachea. Specifically, medical personnel first need to examine the patient's tracheal condition. The medical personnel control the first robotic arm 5 to adjust the fiberoptic bronchoscope to the examination mode through the operating unit 8. Then, the medical personnel control the first robotic arm 5 to push the operating unit 8 to insert the objective lens 10 into the patient's mouth. The objective lens 10 can detect the condition of the patient's trachea. The medical personnel can observe the condition of the patient's trachea through the eyepiece 7 (the objective lens 10 can be a small infrared probe, which can clearly observe the condition inside the patient's body). After observing the patient's tracheal diameter, the medical personnel can select a matching intubation tube 11 for treatment. The medical personnel remove the objective lens 10 from the patient's mouth and then select the intubation tube 11 corresponding to the patient's trachea and fit it onto the curved part 9. Medical personnel control the first robotic arm 5 to clamp the operating unit 8, and the second robotic arm 6 to clamp the intubation tube body 11. Then, the medical personnel simultaneously control the first robotic arm 5 and the second robotic arm 6 to move, placing the intubation tube body 11 into the patient's mouth. The objective lens 10 can collect information from inside the patient's mouth, and the medical personnel can observe the situation inside the patient's mouth through the eyepiece 7. Moreover, the connection between the intubation tube body 11 and the patient's trachea is smoother with the support of the eyepiece 7. The medical personnel control the second robotic arm 6 to push the intubation tube body 11 to connect with the patient's trachea. After the connection between the intubation tube body 11 and the patient's trachea is completed, the other side of the intubation tube body 11 is connected to the ventilator. Finally, the medical personnel remove all medical devices for unified disinfection. Furthermore, the intubation tube body 11 can be set with a scale value along the axial direction, so that the medical personnel can observe the depth of the intubation tube body 11 in real time when performing intubation on the patient.
