Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a double-track laryngoscope blade for replacing an endotracheal intubation tube and a working method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Oral endotracheal intubation is an important technical means to treat critically ill patients. In the intensive care unit, the endotracheal intubation tube often needs to be replaced due to factors such as sputum scab blockage, airbag rupture, and tube bite. There are currently two common replacement methods in clinical practice.

[0003] The first method requires that the old endotracheal tube be pulled out of the oropharynx first, and then the new endotracheal tube is reinserted along the original path using auxiliary methods such as laryngoscope, fiberoptic bronchoscope, light stick, and ultrasound. This process is difficult and risky: 1. After a period of oral endotracheal intubation, the throat often has a certain degree of congestion and edema. Even with the assistance of a video laryngoscope, the anatomical structure may not be clearly distinguished. For patients with difficult airways before the first intubation, re-intubation is more difficult; 2. When the oral endotracheal tube is removed, secretions in the oropharynx or subglottic may quickly accumulate in large quantities, reducing the clarity of the field of vision, and clearing the secretions will cause delays in re-intubation. In short, after the old endotracheal tube is pulled out, the swollen throat airway loses the support of the original tube, and the original artificial airway path may even be difficult to find, greatly increasing the difficulty of re-intubation.

[0004] The second method is to replace the catheter with the help of a replacement guide wire. The replacement guide wire is inserted into the old tracheal tube until the tip of the tube, and then the old tracheal tube is pulled out and a new tracheal tube is inserted along the replacement guide wire. This method is only applicable to cases where the tracheal tube balloon is leaking or the single-lumen or double-lumen tube is interchanged, because if there is tracheal tube stenosis, the replacement guide wire is difficult to insert, and during the process of inserting the replacement guide wire into the old tube, the sputum crust in the old tube is easily caused to fall off into the patient's trachea, blocking the airway and causing iatrogenic damage. In short, the method of replacing the catheter with the help of a replacement guide wire is not applicable to cases where the old tube is stenotic.

[0005] In summary, the current technical means of replacing orotracheal tubes have defects such as difficulty in reintubation, delayed reintubation, and inapplicability in some situations, which may lead to hypoxia or iatrogenic damage in some patients during tube replacement. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned prior art and provide a double-track laryngoscope blade for replacing endotracheal intubation tube and a working method thereof. At the beginning of the operation of replacing the endotracheal intubation tube, the old endotracheal intubation tube is retained as a reference, which is convenient for the intubator to distinguish the anatomical structure of the throat and guide the new tube to be inserted along the path of the old tube to ensure that the tip of the new tube can reach the glottis. The double-track design minimizes the mutual influence between the new and old tubes in a small space, thereby increasing the safety and success rate of intubation.

[0007] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0008] The first object of the present invention is to provide a double-track laryngoscope blade for replacing an endotracheal intubation tube, the double-track laryngoscope blade comprising a cannula body, a first guide plate, a second guide plate, and a tongue depressor; the tongue depressor is connected to one end (front end) of the cannula body; the upper surface of the tongue depressor is smoothly connected to the upper surface of the cannula body; the first guide plate and the second guide plate are respectively connected to the two sides of the tongue depressor; the first guide plate is provided with a first track, the first track is used to guide the insertion of a new endotracheal intubation tube; the second guide plate is provided with a second track, the second track is used to guide the insertion of an old endotracheal intubation tube.

[0011] Furthermore, the double-track laryngoscope blade also includes an elastic sheet; the elastic sheet is arranged at the other end (rear end) of the sleeve body.

[0012] Furthermore, a card slot is provided on the elastic sheet; the card slot is used to cooperate with a protrusion on the insertion section of the laryngoscope to disassemble and assemble the double-track laryngoscope blade.

[0013] Furthermore, the first track is arranged on the lower surface of the first guide plate; the first track is a first C-shaped groove arranged along the length direction of the first guide plate; the second track is arranged on the lower surface of the second guide plate; the second track is a second C-shaped groove arranged along the length direction of the second guide plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the diameter of the first C-shaped groove is larger than the outer diameter of the new endotracheal tube; the diameter of the second C-shaped groove is larger than the outer diameter of the old endotracheal tube.

[0015] Furthermore, the first C-shaped groove is arranged along a side surface of the sleeve body; and the second C-shaped groove is arranged along another side surface of the sleeve body.

[0016] Furthermore, the sleeve body is an arc-shaped curved tube; and the tongue depressor is an arc-shaped plate.

[0017] A second object of the present invention is to provide a method for replacing a double-track laryngoscope blade of an endotracheal tube, comprising the following steps:

[0018] Install the double-track laryngoscope blade onto the laryngoscope insertion section;

[0019] Use a double-track laryngoscope blade to insert from the tongue base into the pharynx to expose the glottis. During the insertion process, the old endotracheal tube is embedded in the second track and kept in place.

[0020] After the glottis is exposed by the double-track laryngoscope blade, the new endotracheal intubation tube is inserted along the first track until the tip of the tube is located on the glottis and close to the old endotracheal intubation tube;

[0021] Then release the old endotracheal tube balloon, slowly pull out the old endotracheal tube, and when the tip of the old endotracheal tube is about to leave the glottis, insert the new tube under the glottis until it reaches the predetermined depth, inflate the new endotracheal tube balloon, and at the same time connect the tail end of the new endotracheal tube to the ventilator circuit to continue mechanical ventilation;
