Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly relates to a laryngeal mask for bronchoscopy examination. Background Art

[0002] A laryngeal mask, full name laryngeal mask airway, is an artificial airway that forms an airway seal through an annular inflatable mask placed in the pharynx; with the continuous popularization and development of bronchoscopy technology, the laryngeal mask has gradually shown its advantages in bronchoscopy examination. It can significantly reduce the time for the bronchoscope to enter the glottis and ensure effective oxygen supply during the operation, thereby reducing the operation pause caused by hypoxia. Secondly, the laryngeal mask improves the patient's tolerance and surgical safety, significantly shortening the operation time. In addition, the use of the laryngeal mask reduces the incidence of postoperative pharyngeal discomfort and abnormal voice sensation.

[0003] However, during bronchoscopy examination, since the patient is in a sedated state, the patient's pharyngeal reflex may be inhibited, which may cause the reflux of oral secretions or gastric juice and gastric contents and accidental inhalation into the respiratory tract, resulting in aspiration pneumonia. Once vomiting occurs, the patient needs to be immediately placed in the lateral position, the back is patted, the vomitus in the oropharynx is promptly cleaned, and the vital signs are observed, especially the oxygenation status. If necessary, an endotracheal tube is inserted and endotracheal irrigation and suction are performed under the bronchoscope, which poses a great safety hazard.

[0004] In addition, currently during bronchoscopy examination, using a Y-shaped interface for laryngeal mask ventilation is a commonly used ventilation method. However, when using the Y-shaped interface ventilation method, on the one hand, since the pipeline becomes more tortuous, it is more troublesome for the bronchoscope to enter, prolonging the examination time; on the other hand, due to the diameter difference between the bronchoscope and the Y-shaped interface, when using a ventilator, some airflows will escape from the Y-shaped interface at the end where the bronchoscope is located, affecting the actual oxygen supply effect for the patient.

[0005] To solve these problems, there is now a need for a laryngeal mask specifically designed for bronchoscopy examination. This laryngeal mask can, on the premise of ensuring that the bronchoscope can enter the trachea, be provided with another guiding tube leading to the patient's esophagus at the same time, so as to drain the patient's gastric juice and prevent the occurrence of the above problems. In addition, this laryngeal mask is provided with a special interface for connecting a ventilator to ensure smooth breathing of the patient and enable the bronchoscope to smoothly enter the trachea. In addition, the traditional laryngeal mask only has a single balloon setting. Since the pharyngeal structures of different patients are different, even using laryngeal masks of different models will result in poor sealing of the esophagus during use, and there is a possibility of aspiration for patients who are full and vomiting blood. Therefore, this device is provided with multiple balloons, which can further expand and provide support for the front end and the rear end of the cuff, thereby strengthening the sealing of the esophagus by this device. Summary of the Invention

[0037] Embodiment 2

[0038] In this embodiment, the ventilator interface 6 is designed with a three-way structure. Specifically, one end of the ventilator interface 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the bronchoscope intubation tube 4, and the other end is fixedly connected to the piston connection hole 7. Thus, during bronchoscopy, it can stably provide the required respiratory support.

[0039] Embodiment 3

[0040] In this embodiment, a rubber inspection hole 701 is fixedly provided inside the piston connection hole 7. The material of the rubber inspection hole 701 has good elasticity and flexibility, which can provide a necessary sealing effect when the bronchoscope is inserted, and at the same time will not cause any damage to the bronchoscope. Its design reduces gas leakage during the insertion and operation of the bronchoscope, thereby maintaining the airtightness of the airway. It ensures the patency and stability of the airway during bronchoscopy. The doctor can easily insert the bronchoscope and perform the examination without worrying about the escape of air flow or the instability of the device. In addition, a cover 702 is provided outside the piston connection hole 7. When bronchoscopy is not performed, the cover 702 can cover the piston connection hole 7 to prevent the overflow of air flow.

[0041] The working principle and usage process of this device are as follows:

[0042] When using this device, first place the patient in the supine position and keep the patient's head in a natural position. The doctor deflates the cuffs of the laryngeal mask: the first cuff 1, the second cuff 2, and the third cuff 3 (the second cuff 2 and the third cuff 3 share the third inflation tube 302 for inflation) appropriately and lubricates the laryngeal mask assembly with the corresponding lubricant to reduce possible injuries when inserting the laryngeal mask; at this time, insert the laryngeal mask into the patient's oral cavity and gradually push it down to the base of the patient's tongue to ensure that the base of the tongue does not block the respiratory tract, then lift the patient's mandible. During the insertion process, the doctor can push the patient's chin with a finger to make the patient's mouth open wider for the insertion of the laryngeal mask. When the laryngeal mask reaches the appropriate position, inflate it appropriately according to the specific situation of the patient's throat through a syringe. The laryngeal mask airbag 101 of the first cuff 1 is inflated to fit the patient's throat to ensure the stable fixation of the device. Then, the doctor inflates the second cuff 2 and the third cuff 3 through the third inflation tube 302 to ensure sufficient support for the bronchoscope intubation 4 and the drainage tube intubation 5.

[0043] After the cuff inflation is completed, the doctor connects an external ventilator to the ventilator interface 6 of the device, and then inserts and fixes the drainage tube through the drainage tube intubation 5 to achieve effective drainage of gastric juice; then inserts the bronchoscope through the piston interface through the bronchoscope intubation 4. Due to the design of the device, the insertion of the bronchoscope and the drainage tube becomes fast and stable, reducing the discomfort of the patient. In addition, the setting of the piston connection hole 7 further enhances the sealing between the bronchoscope and the intubation, reduces the escape of air flow, and ensures the patency and safety of the airway.

[0044] The preferred embodiments of the present invention disclosed above are only used to help illustrate the present invention. The preferred embodiments do not describe all the details in detail, nor limit the invention to the specific embodiments described.
