Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to an integrated intelligent humidification and sputum suction device after tracheotomy for maxillofacial tumors. Background Art

[0002] Maxillofacial tumors may directly compress the airway, or cause local tissue swelling during tumor growth and treatment (such as surgery and radiotherapy), leading to airway stenosis or even blockage. Tracheotomy can bypass the obstruction and establish a new respiratory passage to ensure smooth breathing and avoid the risk of suffocation. For example, tumors at the bottom of the mouth and the root of the tongue are prone to invade surrounding tissues and compress the airway. Postoperatively, it may be difficult to discharge respiratory secretions due to wound pain and limited swallowing function. After tracheotomy, sputum can be directly attracted through the tracheal cannula to reduce the risk of lung infection and keep the respiratory tract clean. Postoperative wound dressing and swelling can increase respiratory resistance. Tracheotomy can effectively reduce the dead space of the respiratory tract, reduce the work of breathing, reduce the patient's respiratory burden, and make the patient breathe more effortlessly. For some large maxillofacial tumor surgeries, tracheotomy can ensure that the airway is unobstructed during anesthesia and create conditions for the smooth progress of the operation. In addition, postoperative patients may have complications such as laryngeal edema due to long-term intubation. Tracheotomy can be used as a preventive measure to ensure the patient's postoperative respiratory safety. However, tracheotomy can cause a series of problems, which seriously affect the patient's recovery process and quality of life.

[0003] Insufficient airway humidification after surgery is one of the common problems. Under normal circumstances, the upper respiratory tract has the effect of warming and humidifying the inhaled gas, but tracheotomy makes this function lost. Dry gas directly enters the lower respiratory tract, which will cause the airway mucosa to lose moisture, make the sputum thick and difficult to cough up, and easily form sputum crusts, block the airway, and increase the risk of lung infection. Traditional humidification methods, such as intermittent injection of humidification liquid, have uneven humidification effects, and the operation process is prone to cause patients to choke and cough.

[0004] At the same time, there are many challenges in suctioning operations. Timely and effective suctioning is crucial to maintaining airway patency, but traditional suctioning methods lack accurate judgment, and are mostly performed on a scheduled basis or based on the experience of medical staff. Scheduled suctioning may be performed before sputum is formed, increasing the patient's pain and risk of airway injury; empirical suctioning may result in untimely sputum removal due to misjudgment, affecting respiratory function. Moreover, traditional suction equipment cannot be effectively combined with the humidification process, and humidification and suction operations are independent of each other, which increases the workload of medical staff and prolongs the operation time. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the shortcomings of the prior art and to propose an integrated intelligent humidification and sputum suction device after tracheotomy for maxillofacial tumors.

[0014] In order to provide a further understanding of the purpose, structure, features, and functions of the present invention, the following detailed description is given in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0015] Please refer to Figure 1The present invention provides an integrated intelligent humidification and sputum suction device for tracheotomy of maxillofacial tumors, the integrated device comprising a humidification module 1, a sputum suction module 2 and a control module 3; the control module 3 is provided with an integrated control cabinet 31; the humidification module 1 comprises a humidification liquid storage tank 11, a heating device 12, a humidification liquid delivery pipeline 13 and an atomizing nozzle 14; the humidification liquid storage tank 11 is arranged in the integrated control cabinet 31; one end of the humidification liquid delivery pipeline 13 is connected to the humidification liquid storage tank 11; the other end is connected to the humidification liquid storage tank 11 through the integrated control cabinet 31; The hole on the side wall of the cabinet 31 is connected to the outside; the heating device is arranged at the connection between the humidifying liquid storage tank 11 and the humidifying liquid delivery pipeline 13; the atomizing nozzle 14 is arranged at the end of the humidifying liquid delivery pipeline 13; the sputum suction module 2 includes a sputum suction pump 21, a sputum suction tube 22 and a sputum collecting device 23; one end of the sputum suction tube 22 is connected to the sputum collecting device 23, and the other end is fixed on the connector 4 together with the humidifying liquid delivery pipeline 13; one end of the sputum collecting device 23 is also connected to the sputum suction pump 21.

[0016] This device integrates humidification and sputum suction functions into one system, and is centrally managed through a control module, which can effectively reduce the number of equipment and operating steps. In this way, doctors and nurses can quickly switch between humidification and sputum suction functions during clinical operations, which improves the convenience and efficiency of operation. The humidification module 1 includes a humidification liquid storage tank 11, a heating device 12, a humidification liquid delivery pipeline 13 and an atomizing nozzle 14, which can effectively humidify the trachea, keep the airway moist and reduce the discomfort caused by dryness. This is especially important for patients after tracheotomy, which helps to prevent dryness of the respiratory tract and sputum viscosity, and reduce the occurrence of complications. The heating device 12 can also ensure that the temperature of the humidification liquid is suitable, further improving the humidification effect. The sputum suction module 2 can efficiently remove secretions in the patient's respiratory tract through the combined design of a sputum suction pump 21, a sputum suction tube 22 and a sputum collection device 23, thereby preventing sputum from blocking the airway, thereby maintaining the patency of the respiratory tract. The design of the sputum suction pump 21 can ensure the power and effect of sputum suction, and the sputum collection device 23 is convenient for timely observation and treatment of sputum. The common fixed design of the sputum suction tube 22 and the humidification liquid delivery pipeline 13 can reduce the looseness and dislocation of the pipeline, and ensure the stability of the humidification and sputum suction functions. In addition, the integrated design of all components simplifies the cleaning and disinfection process of the system, reduces the risk of cross infection, and ensures the hygiene and safety of the patient. Through the control module 3, accurate control of humidification and sputum suction is achieved. The operator can adjust the parameters such as the temperature, flow rate and sputum suction intensity of the humidification liquid according to the specific situation of the patient, ensuring the personalization and optimization of the treatment process.

[0017] Preferably, the humidification module 1 is also provided with a humidity sensor 15 and a temperature sensor 16; the sputum suction module 2 is also provided with a sputum concentration sensor 24; the control module 3 is also provided with a central control unit 32; the humidity sensor 15, the temperature sensor 16 and the sputum concentration sensor 24 are all electrically connected to the central control unit 32.

[0018] Through the humidity sensor 15 and the temperature sensor 16, the changes in the humidity and temperature of the environment for the humidification of the respiratory tract are detected in real time. The humidification effect directly affects the viscosity of the sputum and the comfort of the respiratory tract. It can ensure that the humidification module automatically adjusts the humidification degree according to the environmental conditions to avoid excessive or insufficient humidification. The sputum concentration sensor 24 can monitor the thickness of the sputum in real time. Thick sputum is more difficult to suck out, which may cause discomfort to the patient. By monitoring the sputum concentration in real time, the sputum suction strategy or humidification process can be adjusted in time according to the situation to ensure that the sputum is effectively removed. The central control unit 32 integrates and processes the data of the humidity sensor, the temperature sensor and the sputum concentration sensor to realize an automatic control system. The central control unit 32 can analyze the data of each sensor and respond in real time. For example, when the sputum concentration is too high, the central control unit can trigger the start of the sputum suction module, or automatically adjust the humidification module when the humidity and temperature are not ideal to achieve better treatment effects. By accurately controlling humidification, temperature and sputum concentration, a treatment environment that better meets the needs of patients can be provided. Appropriate humidity, temperature and sputum concentration can reduce patients' breathing difficulties and discomfort, especially for patients who are undergoing long-term respiratory treatment (such as patients with chronic respiratory diseases and artificial airway management). It plays an important role in improving comfort.

[0019] Preferably, an operation panel 33 is further provided above the integrated control cabinet 31 ; the central control unit 32 is electrically connected to the operation panel 33 .

[0020] The electrical signal connection between the central control unit 32 and the operation panel 33 means that the user can control and adjust the system through the operation panel. Through this design, the operation panel not only provides a user-friendly interface, but also allows the user to control the various functions of the system in real time. The ease of operation of the system is improved, allowing users to intuitively set, adjust and monitor the equipment. The electrical signal connection of the central control unit enables the equipment to achieve precise and unified control, reducing the complexity of operation and the possibility of misoperation.

[0021] Preferably, the atomizing nozzle 14 is connected to the humidifying liquid delivery pipe 13 by a clamping arrangement; the atomizing nozzle 14 comprises a nozzle section 141 and a clamping end 142 ; and the atomizing nozzle 14 is also provided with unevenly distributed atomizing nozzles 143 .

[0022] The atomizing nozzle 14 and the humidifying liquid delivery pipe 13 are designed with a snap-on connection, so that the two components can be connected together quickly and stably. This connection method reduces the complicated threaded connection or welding structure, and is convenient for assembly, disassembly and cleaning. It also improves the maintenance and cleaning efficiency. The snap-on design allows the user to easily disassemble the atomizing nozzle, clean or replace its parts, and maintain the efficiency and hygiene of the equipment. At the same time, due to the stability of the snap-on design, the risk of liquid leakage or loose connection can be reduced, ensuring the safe use of the equipment.

[0023] The atomizing nozzle 14 is provided with unevenly distributed atomizing nozzles 143, so that the atomizing effect is more extensive and uniform. This helps to disperse the atomized liquid more effectively and improve the humidification effect. Through the unevenly distributed nozzles, the liquid can be atomized into finer particles, ensuring sufficient evaporation and diffusion of the humidifying liquid, and providing a more uniform humidification environment. It can also adapt to different environmental conditions, adjust the distribution and size of the atomized particles according to actual needs, and improve the air humidity regulation effect.

[0024] Preferably, a detachable joint hose 221 is provided on the front end of the sputum suction tube 22; the joint hose 221 is made of soft medical silicone material and has multiple side holes on the front end.

[0025] The front end of the sputum suction tube 22 is equipped with a detachable joint hose 221, and the joint hose 221 is made of soft medical silicone material, and multiple side holes are provided at the front end. This design can not only ensure the comfort of use, but also enhance the flexibility of the sputum suction function. The soft silicone material reduces the discomfort to the patient, and the design of multiple side holes improves the suction efficiency and coverage area, ensuring more efficient sputum suction. The detachable design makes the equipment easy to clean and disinfect, ensuring the hygiene and safety during the medical process.

[0026] Preferably, the sputum suction pump 21 is provided with a negative pressure regulating device; at the same time, the sputum suction pump 21 is also connected to the central control unit 32 via an electrical signal, and the suction force of the sputum suction pump 21 is controlled by the central control unit 32 .

[0027] The suction pump 21 is provided with a negative pressure regulating device, and the suction force is adjusted by the central control unit 32. This design makes the suction force of the device adjustable to meet the needs of different patients and different conditions. The negative pressure regulating device allows the suction strength to be adjusted according to the specific conditions of the patient to avoid discomfort or damage to the patient caused by excessive suction. The design of adjusting the suction force by the central control unit 32 improves the intelligence level of the system and makes the operation more convenient and accurate.

[0028] Specific implementation: When the device is started, the control module 3 (including the integrated control cabinet 31 and the central control unit 32) starts working. The user can operate through the operation panel 33, and the central control unit 32 adjusts the working state of each module according to the parameters set by the user. After the device is turned on, the humidity sensor, sputum concentration sensor, etc. start working, real-time monitoring of the humidity in the patient's airway, sputum viscosity and other information, and continuously transmits these data to the central control unit.

[0029] The humidifying liquid storage tank 11 in the humidifying module 1 starts to be heated by the heating device 12 to keep the humidifying liquid at a suitable temperature. The temperature sensor 16 monitors the temperature of the humidifying liquid in real time and transmits the data to the central control unit 32 for adjustment to ensure that the temperature of the humidifying liquid is stable.

[0030] After the humidifying liquid passes through the heating device 12, it is sent to the atomizing nozzle 14 through the humidifying liquid delivery pipeline 13. The temperature and humidity of the humidifying liquid are strictly controlled to ensure the best atomization effect of the liquid.

[0031] The atomizing nozzle 14 atomizes the humidifying liquid into fine water mist through its unevenly distributed spray holes 143. The atomized water mist enters the trachea to help keep the airway moist and avoid respiratory discomfort caused by dry air.

[0032] During the humidification process, if sputum accumulates in the patient's trachea, the sputum suction pump 21 of the sputum suction module 2 is started to suck the sputum. The sputum suction pump controls the suction force of the suction through the negative pressure regulating device, and the suction force is accurately adjusted by the central control unit 32, and the suction force is determined according to the concentration of the sputum.

[0033] The sputum suction pump 21 sucks the sputum into the sputum collection device 23 through the sputum suction tube 22. The front end of the sputum suction tube 22 is equipped with a detachable joint hose 221, which is made of soft medical silicone material and can flexibly contact the sputum in the trachea. The front end of the hose is provided with multiple side holes to ensure that the sputum can be efficiently sucked.

[0034] The humidity sensor 15 and the temperature sensor 16 monitor the humidity and temperature of the humidifying liquid and transmit the data in real time to the central control unit 32. If the humidity or temperature does not meet the set requirements, the central control unit 32 will automatically adjust the humidifying liquid delivery system to ensure that the system always remains in the best working state.

[0035] The sputum concentration sensor 24 is located in the sputum suction module 2 to monitor the concentration of sputum during the sputum suction process. Through the sensor, the central control unit 32 can understand the concentration change of sputum in real time, and then adjust the suction force of the sputum suction pump to ensure that the sputum is sucked out efficiently and in time.

[0036] The user can interact with the device through the operation panel 33. The panel displays real-time data such as humidification liquid temperature, humidity, sputum concentration, etc. The user can adjust the humidification and sputum suction mode according to specific needs.

[0037] The central control unit 32 adjusts the working state of the entire device through the control module 3 according to the parameters set by the user, such as the temperature and humidity of the humidifying liquid, the suction force of the sputum suction, etc. For example, if the sputum concentration sensor 24 detects that there is too much sputum, the suction force of the sputum suction pump 21 will automatically increase.

[0038] When the treatment process is finished, the user can control the device to enter standby mode through the operation panel. The device can automatically perform some cleaning operations, such as automatically discharging the humidifying liquid and cleaning the atomizing nozzle 14 to avoid accumulation or blockage of the humidifying liquid. The device also has a power-off protection function to ensure that it can be safely shut down in the event of a power outage.

[0039] The system will automatically adjust the humidification and suction modes according to the monitored data. At the same time, if there is a device failure or abnormality, the central control unit 32 will send out an alarm signal and display it on the operation panel to remind the user to check or repair it.

[0040] The present invention has been described by the above-mentioned relevant embodiments, however, the above-mentioned embodiments are only examples for implementing the present invention. It must be pointed out that the disclosed embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention. On the contrary, changes and modifications made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention are all within the scope of patent protection of the present invention.
