Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an esophageal occlusion gastric tube structure with the function of preventing reflux and aspiration. Background Technology

[0002] Patients requiring surgery are at high risk of reflux aspiration during anesthesia, especially during endotracheal intubation under general anesthesia. This is one of the most fatal risks during the induction phase. Due to its severe consequences and extremely high mortality rate, it has been a major challenge for the anesthesiology community since the advent of anesthesia, and a suitable solution remains elusive. The risk of reflux aspiration is also relatively high in other hospital settings, such as: (1) patients in a coma with a full stomach in the emergency room; (2) patients with a full stomach requiring esophageal foreign body removal; (3) patients with esophageal venous bleeding requiring ESD treatment; (4) diabetic patients with poor digestion or even gastroparesis who require elective surgery and are fasting; and (5) patients with a full stomach requiring emergency surgery. In all these cases, anti-reflux aspiration procedures are necessary.

[0003] Currently, when performing the aforementioned surgical procedures on patients, medical staff typically use a nasogastric tube for gastrointestinal decompression to prevent reflux and aspiration. After insertion, the tube allows stomach contents to drain out. Stomach contents can be broadly categorized as thin liquids, viscous liquids, and lumpy solids. Due to its narrow diameter, the nasogastric tube can only drain relatively thin liquids; it cannot effectively drain or block viscous liquids or lumpy solids. While positional changes and the Sellick Maneuver can help to some extent, they cannot completely prevent reflux. It still frequently occurs that stomach contents flow through the esophagus into the mouth and then into the airway, causing serious consequences.

[0004] Furthermore, when medical staff perform gastric tube fixation, they first need to insert the tube through the patient's nostril, through the pharynx and esophagus to the stomach, and then simply fix the end of the tube to the patient's nose with adhesive tape. While this method is simple to operate, it is difficult to effectively secure the tube. When the patient sweats, the adhesive tape easily detaches from the nose, leading to tube dislodgement. Moreover, for patients with sensitive skin, using adhesive tape for fixation can easily cause allergies, damage, and infection, causing significant discomfort. Especially with the gastric tube of this invention having an air bladder at the tip, the air bladder is first deflated and inserted into the stomach through the nostril. During occlusion, it is inflated and pulled upwards, locking the bladder at the cardia of the stomach. In this case, a strong and stable fixation at the nose is even more crucial. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention aims to provide an esophageal occlusion gastric tube structure with anti-reflux and aspiration function. This esophageal occlusion gastric tube structure has a reasonable overall design, simple structure, and convenient operation. The anti-reflux and aspiration gastric tube body can block the cardia during use to prevent reflux and aspiration. In addition, the gastric tube fixing structure can effectively fix the tail end of the anti-reflux and aspiration gastric tube body to the patient's upper lip, making it less likely for the gastric tube to fall off from the patient's nose. At the same time, it can also effectively avoid skin allergies, damage, and infection, providing patients with a better comfort experience.
