Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tracheal intubation, and in particular to a difficult airway intubation model capable of simulating normal and micromandibular deformity facial features. Background Art

[0002] Micromandibular deformity is manifested by a reduced mandible, a retracted chin, and a lower lip that is positioned posteriorly compared to the upper lip, which causes the tongue to be squeezed and moved backward, resulting in a smaller pharyngeal cavity. Furthermore, there are abnormal development of pharyngeal tissues, such as a soft and displaced epiglottis. Due to the abnormalities in the maxillofacial and oropharyngeal anatomy of these patients, a difficult airway is formed, resulting in difficulty in intubation during clinical anesthesia.

In addition, such difficult airways are one of the great challenges for anesthesiologists.

[0049] Example

[0050] In a specific embodiment, Figure 1-6 As shown, a difficult airway intubation model that can simulate normal and small mandibular deformity faces, the tracheal intubation model is a human body model; the human body model includes a skull model 1 and a mandibular model 2; the human body model includes an electric cylinder 3, a first connecting rod 4, a second connecting rod 5, a diverter slide mechanism 6, a third connecting rod 7, a compression spring 8, a wire drawing motor 9, a mobile slide mechanism 10, and a wire drawing mechanism 11; one end of the wire drawing mechanism 11 is connected to the mobile slide mechanism 10, and the other end is connected to the mandibular model 2; the mobile slide mechanism 10 is connected to the wire drawing motor 9 and is controlled by the wire drawing motor 9; the electric cylinder 3 is connected to the first connecting rod 4, the first connecting rod 4 is connected to the second connecting rod 5, and the second connecting rod 5 is connected to the mandibular model 2; one end of the compression spring 8 is fixed, and the other end is connected to the diverter slide mechanism 6, and the third connecting rod 7 is connected to the diverter slide mechanism 6 and the mandibular model 2. The stroke of the electric cylinder 3 is 20cm. The wire pulling mechanism 11 comprises an outer ring bushing 11-1, a wire pulling and a fixing plate 11-3; the fixing plate 11-3 is arranged at both ends of the wire pulling, and the outer ring bushing 11-1 is sleeved on the wire pulling. The diverter slide rail mechanism 6 is an inverted V-shaped structure.

[0051] In order to simulate the state of airway intubation in patients with micrognathia in clinical practice, this embodiment places an electric cylinder 3 with a stroke of 20 mm, a connecting rod mechanism, a flow-dividing slide rail mechanism 6, and a compression spring 8 in the head of the human model. The connecting rod mechanism includes a first connecting rod 4, a second connecting rod 5, and a third connecting rod 7.

[0052] The electric cylinder 3 is connected to an external main control board through a wire, and the instructor controls the main control board through a control panel, thereby realizing the switching between normal and small jaw faces. The main control board and the control panel can transmit signals through channels such as WIFI or Bluetooth.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, the initial state of the head of the human model is a normal face state, and the stroke of the electric cylinder 3 is 20mm. Under the force of the compression spring 8, the third connecting rod 7 is maintained at the center point of the diverter slide mechanism 6 without sliding, and the mouth is in a normal closed state; the third connecting rod 7 slides from the center point position to the right to increase the mouth opening, and the main power of this action comes from the wire pulling mechanism 11. Figure 4 The structure shown is a system mechanism for controlling the opening and closing of the mouth, which mainly includes a movable slide mechanism 10, a wire pulling mechanism 11, etc. Among them, the movable slide mechanism 10 drives the slide to make a back-and-forth linear motion by rotating the lead screw 12 through the wire pulling motor 9. The wire pulling mechanism 11 is composed of an outer ring bushing 11-1, a wire pulling wire 11-2, and fixed plates 11-3 at both ends of the wire pulling wire 11-2. One end of the fixed plate 11-3 is fixed on the slide surface of the movable slide mechanism 10, and the other end of the fixed plate 11-3 is fixed on the mandibular fixed axis. The outer ring bushing 11-1 of the wire pulling mechanism 11 is fixed at both ends with compression springs 13. When the slide of the movable slide mechanism 10 makes a linear motion, the wire pulling wire in the wire pulling mechanism 11 is pulled back and forth to achieve the limit adjustment of the mouth opening degree within the range of 0.0cm to 5.0cm.

[0054] like Figure 3 As shown, when the instructor issues a "small mandible switch" command through the control panel, the electric cylinder 3 retracts 20 mm, and the first connecting rod 4 and the second connecting rod 5 drive the chin in the normal position to move obliquely toward the back of the head, so that the mandibular index is lower than normal, and the mandibular facial angle is at a higher angle. At the same time, the tongue position in the oral cavity is driven to fall back, causing upper airway obstruction. The third connecting rod 7 is maintained at the center point position of the diverter slide mechanism 6 under the force of the compression spring 8 without sliding, and the mouth is in a small mandible closed state; the third connecting rod 7 slides from the center position to the left position to increase the mouth opening, and the main power also comes from the pull wire mechanism 11 (such as Figure 4 shown).

[0055] like Figure 6The figure shows the diverter slide rail mechanism 6. When the cylinder is extended, the third connecting rod 7 rotates in the direction to generate the F force direction; when the cylinder is retracted, the third connecting rod 7 rotates in the direction to generate the F' force direction. When the F direction exists, the third connecting rod 7 slides to the left track at the slidable connection point of the diverter slide rail mechanism 6 (the circle shown in the figure); when the F' direction exists, the third connecting rod 7 slides to the right track at the slidable connection point of the diverter slide rail mechanism 6.

[0056] In addition, in this embodiment, the artificial skin is covered on the outside of the human body model's head. The artificial skin at the mandible has a certain elasticity and can be closely attached to the mandible and adjusted in real time with the mandible position, thereby realizing the switching between a normal mandibular face and a small mandibular face.

[0057] It should be pointed out that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
