Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular to a quantitative brain drainage device. Background Art

[0002] Intraventricular hemorrhage is a brain surgical disease that usually develops quickly, induces cerebrospinal fluid circulation disorders, and then causes acute obstructive hydrocephalus, which increases the patient's intracranial pressure. The condition is relatively critical and has a high mortality rate. External ventricular drainage can reduce intracranial pressure and clear bloody or infected cerebrospinal fluid. It is an important means of treating ventricular hemorrhage. It is an important treatment method to save patients' lives in the treatment of various neurosurgical diseases such as brain trauma, cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracranial infection, hydrocephalus, etc.

[0003] The change in drainage speed during the drainage of intracranial fluid is one of the key factors affecting the drainage effect. Under normal physiological conditions, adults produce about 500 ml of cerebrospinal fluid every day. If the drainage volume exceeds 500 ml, it will lead to excessive drainage, resulting in large instantaneous fluctuations in intracranial pressure, forming pneumocephalus, low intracranial pressure pain, etc., inducing brain herniation, and too slow drainage is prone to tube blockage, which not only reduces the effect of intracranial pressure control, but also may increase the risk of infection and seriously affect the patient's prognosis. At present, the commonly used clinical method is based on the flow control theory. By dynamically changing the height of the drainage bottle to control the drainage speed, the purpose of slowly and evenly draining cerebrospinal fluid can be achieved. Clinical nursing staff are required to make dynamic adjustments according to the patient's intracranial pressure at any time, and the frequency and sophistication of nursing are required to be high, which increases the workload of nursing staff and the incidence of medical accidents.

[0005] Patent CN112274129A discloses an intracranial pressure measurement device based on a BP neural network model optimized by a genetic algorithm and its working method, which has the characteristics of miniaturization, light weight, low power consumption, etc. The system microprocessor stores a pre-trained machine learning model, which can obtain the intracranial pressure value based on the most original spectral data and maintain the authenticity and reliability of the data.

[0006] Infection is the most serious complication of external cranial drainage, and the incidence of complications is high. Blockage of the brain drainage tube will not only lead to poor drainage of brain fluid, affecting the treatment effect, but also lead to infection.

[0007] Patent CN118436861A discloses an extraventricular drainage device that can regulate intracranial pressure and prevent infection. The device covers the puncture site with a positioning sterilization component and uses infrared irradiation for disinfection and sterilization, and then combines it with antibacterial materials or antibacterial coatings to reduce the risk of infection.

[0008] Patent CN118846276A discloses an active flushing and drainage system and control method. The system includes an infusion unit, a flushing unit, a drainage unit, an interactive control unit and a drainage tube. The interactive control unit can automatically identify the blockage of the drainage tube and remove the blockage of the drainage tube through the flushing unit, thereby improving the degree of intelligence and the ability to remove blockage.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Example 1 After simulating the placement of extracranial drainage, close the three-way valve of the drainage tube 11, and connect the drainage fluid outflow port of the drainage tube 11 to the drainage device composed of the drainage pipeline A6, the drip pot 8 flow pipeline B and the drainage bag 9 designed by the present invention through a connector. Adjust the "0" scale line of the scale 30 to align with the patient's head, fix the intracranial pressure scale 10 to the infusion stand through the scale fixing clamp 31, adjust the fixture 29 to the highest point of the scale 30, place the drip pot 8, open the three-way of the drainage tube 11, adjust the height of the drip pot 8 on the fixture 29, and the intracranial pressure scale 10 reading corresponding to the height of the drip pot 8 outlet when drainage begins is the patient's intracranial pressure. According to the monitored intracranial pressure, adjust the height of the drip pot 8 on the intracranial pressure scale 10 to adjust the drainage pressure and drainage speed.

[0023] Assemble the liquid level sensor 4 and the drip pot 8 to test the drainage volume, insert the silicone tube segments on the drainage line A6 and the drainage line B7 into the electromagnetic clamping valve 3 respectively, turn on the power of the controller 1, turn on the switch, and set the drainage time and / or drainage volume according to clinical needs.

[0024] When the drainage time or drainage volume reaches the set value, a signal is transmitted to the controller 1, which activates the clamping device to cut the drainage and simultaneously activates the alarm 5 to sound an alarm.

[0025] Example 2 During catheterization, for patients who need to be injected with antibiotics, the heparin cap on extension tube A is disinfected with alcohol, and antibiotics are injected through puncture with a syringe needle to treat intracranial infection; to avoid tube blockage when there are flocs or lumps in the drainage fluid, the heparin cap on extension tube B is disinfected with alcohol, and thrombolytic drugs such as urokinase are injected through puncture with a syringe needle, and no tube blockage occurs.

[0026] Example 3 Take the drainage tube 11 of the present invention and the common single-lumen drainage tube. The common drainage tube has the same drainage lumen, plugging head 13 and drainage hole 23 as the drainage tube 11 of the present invention, and is externally connected to an extension tube with a Luer connector, but has no injection lumen, and has the same length and inner and outer diameters. 6 cfu / mL of Staphylococcus aureus were cultured in LB medium for 24 h. After dilution, a certain amount of the diluted sample was applied to the outer wall of the catheter and cultured for 48 h. The same amount of antibiotics was injected through the drainage cavity of the ordinary catheter and the injection cavity A16 of the present invention, and the number of bacteria on the outer wall of the two was measured. The average values ​​of the three test results were as follows: the number of bacteria on the outer wall of the ordinary catheter was 8.6*10 9 and 1.4*10 6 The number of bacteria on the outer wall of the drainage tube 11 prepared by the preparation method of the present invention is much lower than that on the outer wall of an ordinary drainage tube, which proves that the drainage tube 11 prepared by the present invention is more conducive to the coverage of antibacterial drugs and effectively kills bacteria.

[0027] Comparative Example 1 After simulating extracranial drainage catheterization, close the three-way valve of the drainage tube 11. Adjust the "0" scale line of the scale 30 to align with the patient's head, fix the intracranial pressure scale 10 to the infusion stand through the scale fixing clamp 31, adjust the fixture 29 to the highest point of the scale 30, place the drip pot 8, open the three-way of the drainage tube 11, adjust the height of the drip pot 8 on the fixture 29, and the scale 30 reading corresponding to the outlet height of the drip pot 8 when drainage begins is the patient's intracranial pressure. According to the monitored intracranial pressure, adjust the height of the drip pot 8 on the scale 30, and adjust the drainage pressure and drainage speed. Medical staff regularly check the drainage volume and drainage speed and adjust them according to the situation.

[0028] Comparative Example 2 To simulate the injection of antibiotics during catheterization, first adjust the three-way valve to close the drainage passage, disinfect the injection port with alcohol, open the Luer cap on the injection port, adjust the three-way valve to connect the injection port with the drainage tube, and inject antibiotics and thrombolytic drugs through the Luer with a syringe. It can be seen that the drainage material on the drainage tube is washed back into the skull, adheres to the drainage hole 23 and accumulates at the drainage hole 23, reducing the drainage rate and even blocking the tube.

[0029] By comparing Example 1 with Comparative Example 1, Example 1 sets the drainage volume and drainage rate, and an alarm can be issued when the drainage volume reaches the standard or the drainage rate is not within the set range, thereby avoiding excessive drainage and tube blockage. However, Comparative Example 1 requires regular viewing, recording and calculation, which occupies medical staff, and the numerical statistics are inaccurate.

[0030] By comparing Example 2 and Comparative Example 2, it is found that the infection risk of injecting drugs by puncturing the heparin cap in Example 2 is low, while the injection port of Comparative Example 2 is opened to inject drugs, which destroys the closed drainage system and easily causes infection.

[0031] In Example 2, drainage and drug injection are performed in separate chambers, which can keep the drainage fluid in an outward drainage state all the time, while injecting drugs through the drug injection port on the three-way joint causes the drainage fluid and the drug to flow back, increasing the risk of infection.

[0032] Comparative Example 3 After simulating the placement of extracranial drainage catheter, close the three-way valve of the drainage tube 11, and connect the drainage fluid outflow port of the drainage tube 11 to the drainage device consisting of a common drainage pipeline with a hardness greater than 30 degrees, a drip pot 8 flow pipeline B, and a drainage bag 9 through a connector. Adjust the "0" scale line of the scale 30 to align with the patient's head, fix the intracranial pressure scale 10 to the infusion stand through the scale fixing clamp 31, adjust the fixture 29 to the highest point of the scale 30, place the drip pot 8, open the three-way of the drainage tube 11, adjust the height of the drip pot 8 on the fixture 29, and the intracranial pressure scale 10 reading corresponding to the height of the drip pot 8 outlet when drainage begins is the patient's intracranial pressure. According to the monitored intracranial pressure, adjust the height of the drip pot 8 on the intracranial pressure scale 10 to adjust the drainage pressure and drainage speed.

[0033] Assemble the liquid level sensor 4 and the drip pot 8 to test the drainage volume, put the common drainage pipes with a hardness greater than 30 degrees connecting the drip pot into the electromagnetic clamping valve 3 respectively, turn on the power of the controller 1, turn on the switch, and set the drainage time and / or drainage volume according to clinical needs.

[0034] When the drainage time or drainage volume reaches the set value, a signal is transmitted to the controller 1. Although the clamping device is started, the drainage pipeline cannot be completely clamped and segmented for drainage due to its high hardness.
