TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a balloon pressure and pH dual parameter real-time monitoring assembly and a medical tracheal tube. BACKGROUND
[0002] The tracheal tube is a medical device inserted into the trachea and / or bronchus of a patient to create a temporary artificial respiratory passage for the patient, especially for patients who cannot breathe autonomously. During general anesthesia, the tracheal tube is mainly used for patients whose respiratory tract is difficult to keep unobstructed, such as intracranial surgery, thoracic surgery, special body positions such as prone position or sitting position during general anesthesia surgery, and patients with jaw, extreme obesity, general anesthetics with obvious respiratory inhibition or muscle relaxants, and patients with facial, neck, and facial surgery, etc. The above situations all need to be intubated. At the same time, the tracheal tube plays an important role in the rescue of critically ill patients, such as respiratory failure, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, drug poisoning, and severe asphyxia of newborns, which must use tracheal intubation technology.
[0003] At present, the tracheal tube in the prior art still has the following problems when in use: 1. The pressure in the balloon is usually monitored by an externally connected pressure gauge or sensor. These components are often difficult to quickly detach and replace during later maintenance, increasing the complexity of clinical use; 2. Respiratory tract secretions or regurgitated stomach contents can easily accumulate above the balloon. If these accumulated fluids are not removed in time, complications may occur; 3. In the prior art, some catheters have a suction channel, but the suction port position is fixed, and when the patient's position changes, it is difficult to ensure that the suction port is always at the lowest point, affecting the effect of fluid removal. SUMMARY
[0004] The present application aims to solve the problems of inconvenient balloon pressure monitoring, incomplete fluid removal, and complex sensor maintenance of existing medical tracheal tubes in use by developing an integrated dual parameter monitoring assembly and catheter structure. Tracheal intubation patients often leak or are injured due to abnormal balloon pressure, and fluid accumulation can easily cause infection. However, existing designs rely on external equipment, increasing the operation burden. Therefore, we start from simplifying monitoring and maintenance. First, we design a tee pipe and a detachable connector to quickly install and replace the pressure sensor. Second, we introduce a pH sensor probe fixed to the side of the balloon, which can be easily detached through a buckle structure to avoid contamination from long-term use. At the same time, for fluid removal, we consider the influence of gravity on the patient's bed position and develop a rotating collar with a counterweight to automatically position the suction port at the lowest point without the need for an additional power source. Finally, we add a hemispherical head to the end of the catheter to embed a temperature and humidity sensor, optimize oxygen injection parameters, and improve comfort.
[0005] Compared with the prior art (such as a simple fixed suction port), the scheme improves the effusion removal efficiency through gravity self-positioning, logically reduces manual intervention, reduces the risk of infection, the structure meets the maintenance requirements, shortens the cleaning time, the overall integration reduces the dependence on external equipment, improves the clinical safety and convenience, forms a hierarchical protection: the independent component covers the core monitoring, the catheter extends to the suction and the end optimization.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.
[0022] In one embodiment: Refer to Figures 1-4The system includes a dual-parameter real-time monitoring component for airbag pressure and pH value, comprising an injection hose 1, a three-way valve 2, an airbag 13, an injection tube 3, a connector 5, a pressure sensor 11, a check valve 4, and a pH sensor probe 16. The injection hose 1 serves as the key channel for gas transmission, with its two ends fixedly connected to the three-way valve 2 and the airbag 13, respectively. The three-way valve 2 functions as a gas diversion and connection point for the various components. Its two ports are respectively fitted with the injection tube 3 and the connector 5.
[0023] The tee tube 2 is injection molded from transparent polycarbonate (PC) material, which makes it easy for medical staff to visually observe the internal airflow or liquid conditions. Its inner wall is polished to reduce condensation and ensure a clear view.
[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The inflation tube 3 is used to inject gas into the cuff 13, causing it to inflate within the patient's trachea. This serves to secure the tubing 19 and prevent leakage. A check valve 4 is installed on the inflation tube 3 to prevent backflow of gas injected into the cuff 13 through the inflation tube 3. When gas is injected into the cuff 13, the gas can smoothly enter the cuff 13 through the inflation tube 3. When inflation stops, the check valve 4 automatically closes to prevent backflow of gas within the cuff 13, thereby ensuring stable pressure within the cuff 13 and guaranteeing its normal function within the patient's trachea.
[0025] The check valve 4's interface design conforms to the standard Luer tapered connector specification, making it compatible with common medical syringes or pressure gauges, ensuring versatility.
[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The connector 5 includes a fixed tube 9 and a connecting sleeve 6 fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the fixed tube 9. One end of the fixed tube 9 extends into the tee pipe 2, and the connecting sleeve 6 is sleeved on the outer wall of the tee pipe 2. One port of the tee pipe 2 has an external thread 12 on its outer wall, and the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 6 has an internal thread 7. Through the cooperation of the internal thread 7 and the external thread 12, the connecting sleeve 6 and one port of the tee pipe 2 are threadedly connected. This facilitates the installation, maintenance, and replacement of the connector 5 and related components.
[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The probe of the pressure sensor 11 is fixedly inserted through the fixing tube 9 and extends into the three-way tube 2 to detect the air pressure inside the airbag 13 in real time. With this design, the pressure sensor 11 can accurately sense pressure changes inside the airbag 13. When the airbag 13 leaks, the pressure sensor 11 can detect the pressure abnormality in a timely manner and transmit the signal to relevant monitoring equipment so that medical personnel can promptly detect and handle the situation, avoiding clinical risks caused by abnormal pressure in the airbag 13.
[0028] Reference Figure 2 To ensure a tight seal between the fixed pipe 9 and the three-way pipe 2, a sealing ring I8 is fixed to the end of the fixed pipe 9 furthest from the pressure sensor 11. The outer wall of the sealing ring I8 abuts tightly against the inner wall of one of the ports of the three-way pipe 2. Simultaneously, a sealing ring II10 is fixedly embedded in the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 6 near the pressure sensor 11, and the sealing ring II10 abuts against the three-way pipe 2. These two sealing rings effectively prevent gas leakage from the connection between the fixed pipe 9 and the three-way pipe 2, ensuring the accuracy of the pressure detection.
[0029] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 A pH sensor probe 16 is positioned on one side of the airbag 13 and is used to detect fluid accumulation after the airbag 13 inflates in the patient's trachea. The pH sensor probe 16 employs solid-state ISFET (ion-sensitive field-effect transistor) technology, which is more durable and smaller than traditional glass electrodes. Its surface is coated with an anti-biocontamination coating to prevent mucin adhesion from affecting measurement sensitivity. The airbag 13 has a fixing structure for securing the pH sensor probe 16. This fixing structure includes a retainer 17 fixed to one side of the airbag 13, and a mounting groove 14 on one side of the airbag 13. A mounting base 15 is fixed within the mounting groove 14, and the pH sensor probe 16 is installed within the mounting base 15. Circular clips 18 are provided between one side of the retainer 17 and one side of the airbag 13, and the two circular clips 18 cooperate to limit the movement of the pH sensor probe 16. When it is necessary to install the pH sensor probe 16 onto the airbag 13, the probe is placed into the mounting base 15, and then the two circular clips 18 cooperate to secure the probe firmly to the mounting base 15. Conversely, when the pH sensor probe 16 needs to be disassembled for cleaning, replacement, or other operations, the probe can be easily removed simply by opening the circular clip 18. This fixing structure ensures the stable installation of the pH sensor probe 16 on the airbag 13 while also facilitating its maintenance and management.
[0030] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8This medical endotracheal tube relates to the field of medical device technology. It includes the aforementioned real-time monitoring component for both cuff pressure and pH value, and also includes a tube 19. A cuff 13 is fixedly fitted onto the outer wall of the tube 19. The tube 19 serves as the main channel for gas delivery and patient respiration. Its inner diameter and length are designed according to different usage needs and patient conditions (such as patient age, weight, etc.). The outer wall of the tube 19 has an installation gap 20 and an installation hole 21. The inflatable tubing 1 is engaged within the installation gap 20, and the inhalation tube 22 is positioned within the installation hole 21. Through the cooperation of the installation gap 20 and the installation hole 21, the inflatable tubing 1 and the inhalation tube 22 are restrained, ensuring they adhere to the tube 19 and move forward and bend with it. This design avoids the messy arrangement of the inflatable tubing 1 and the inhalation tube 22 during use of the tube 19, ensuring the integrity and stability of the tube 19 system and facilitating operation and management by medical personnel.
[0031] The suction tube 22 is an enhanced hose that is resistant to negative pressure collapse. Its wall hardness is slightly higher than that of the air injection hose 1 in order to withstand the negative pressure generated during suction.
[0032] The entire length of the catheter 19 has an X-ray-proof radiopaque line embedded in its wall, which facilitates the confirmation of the exact location of the catheter tip and the balloon under chest X-ray.
[0033] Reference Figures 5-7 A suction structure is installed on the conduit 19 to extract fluid when the airbag 13 inflates in the trachea. The suction structure includes a suction tube 22, a collar 25, and other components. The outer wall of the conduit 19 has an annular groove I 23, located on one side of the airbag 13. A guide rail 24 is fixed to the inner wall of the annular groove I 23, and a collar 25 is installed within the annular groove I 23. The collar 25 is rotatably connected to the annular groove I 23 via the guide rail 24. This rotatable connection allows the collar 25 to rotate freely within the annular groove I 23. An annular groove II 40 is located on the side of the collar 25 away from the airbag 13. A sealing ring 26 is slidably connected within the annular groove II 40 and is fixed within the annular groove I 23. The sealing ring 26 ensures a tight seal between the collar 25 and the sealing ring 26, while also allowing the collar 25 to rotate relative to the sealing ring 26. One end of the suction tube 22 is fixedly inserted through the sealing ring 26 and extends into the collar 25. The outer wall of the collar 25 is provided with a suction port 27. When it is necessary to remove the accumulated fluid in the trachea, the fluid is extracted by the cooperation of the suction tube 22 and the suction port 27.
[0034] The "monitoring components" and "suction structure" can be produced and assembled independently, reducing production and quality inspection costs.
[0035] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7To ensure the inhalation port 27 remains in the optimal position during fluid extraction, multiple counterweights 28 are fixed to the inner wall of the collar 25, with each counterweight 28 corresponding to the inhalation port 27. When the patient is in a bed-lying position, the collar 25 rotates under the weight of the counterweights 28, always keeping the inhalation port 27 at the bottom of the collar 25. This allows for maximum extraction of fluid from the trachea when used with the inhalation tube 22, minimizing discomfort for the patient.
[0036] In actual use, after the cuff 13 inflates inside the patient's trachea, nearby fluid may accumulate. At this time, the suction device is activated, and the fluid is extracted through the cooperation of the suction tube 22 and the suction port 27. Because the collar 25 keeps the suction port 27 downward under the action of the counterweight 28, effective extraction of fluid can be ensured even if the patient's position changes.
[0037] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 9 The outer wall of the conduit 19 is fitted with a limiting ring 29, and the outer wall of the limiting ring 29 is provided with limiting groove I 30 and limiting groove II 31. Limiting groove I 30 is used to restrain the air injection hose 1, and limiting groove II 31 is used to restrain the suction tube 22. This design facilitates the storage of the air injection hose 1 and the suction tube 22, preventing them from being placed haphazardly.
[0038] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 9 A rubber sleeve 41 is fixed to the inner wall of the limiting ring 29, and the rubber sleeve 41 is fitted onto the outer wall of the catheter 19. The rubber sleeve 41 increases the friction between the limiting ring 29 and the catheter 19, allowing the limiting ring 29 to be stably placed at any position on the catheter 19. Medical personnel can move the limiting ring 29 to a suitable position as needed to fix and organize the inflator tubing 1 and the suction tubing 22, improving the ease of use and neatness of the catheter 19 system.
[0039] Among them, the temperature sensor 34, humidity sensor 35, pH sensor probe 16 and air pressure sensor 11 are connected to an external computer via wireless connection, which makes it convenient for medical staff to monitor the patient's condition in real time.
[0040] In actual use, after the airbag 13 inflates in the patient's trachea, nearby fluid may accumulate. Once the pH sensor probe 16 detects an abnormal change in the pH of the surrounding environment (indicating gastric reflux or secretion accumulation), it immediately issues an alarm signal. The system is set with an alarm threshold of pH less than 4.0 (indicating highly acidic gastric juice) or greater than 7.5 (indicating infectious alkaline secretions), triggering automatic aspiration or an audible and visual alarm.
[0041] In another embodiment: Refer to Figure 5 ,Figure 10 and Figure 11 The end of the catheter 19 furthest from the three-way stop 2 is provided with a hemispherical tip 32. The design of the hemispherical tip 32 avoids damage to the inner wall of the trachea when the catheter 19 is inserted into the patient's trachea. An insertion ring 36 is fixed to one side of the hemispherical tip 32, extending into the catheter 19. The inner wall of the catheter 19 has multiple slots 38, and the outer wall of the insertion ring 36 is fixed with multiple rubber rings 37. The slots 38 and the rubber rings 37 engage to securely mount the hemispherical tip 32 to one end of the catheter 19. This engagement method ensures a secure connection between the hemispherical tip 32 and the catheter 19 while facilitating the installation and removal of the hemispherical tip 32.
[0042] Reference Figure 10 and Figure 11 The hemispherical head 32 has a ventilation hole 33 that communicates with the tubing 19. A temperature sensor 34 and a humidity sensor 35 are respectively fixedly embedded in the top and bottom inner walls of the ventilation hole 33. When oxygen is injected into the patient's trachea, the temperature sensor 34 and humidity sensor 35 can detect the temperature and humidity of the injected oxygen in real time. By monitoring these parameters, medical staff can adjust the temperature and humidity of the oxygen to meet the patient's physiological needs, improving the safety and comfort of airway management.
[0043] The end of the vent 33 away from the duct 19 has a rounded chamfer 39. The design of the rounded chamfer 39 makes the gas flow more smoothly through the vent 33, reduces airflow resistance, and also helps to reduce irritation to the inner wall of the trachea.
[0044] The procedure for using a medical endotracheal tube includes the following steps: S1. The connector 5 is fixed to one end of the three-way tube 2 by the cooperation of the internal thread 7 and the external thread 12. The insertion ring 36 is inserted into the end of the catheter 19 away from the three-way tube 2. The hemispherical head 32 can be fixed to one end of the catheter 19 by the snap-fit cooperation of the rubber ring 37 and the slot 38. Therefore, when the catheter 19 is inserted into the patient's trachea, it can avoid the catheter 19 from damaging the inner wall of the trachea. S2. Gas is injected into the cuff 13 through the air pump via the air injection tube 3, the three-way tube 2, and the air injection hose 1. The cuff 13 inflates and abuts against the patient's trachea. When the ventilator is in operation, gas will not leak out of the trachea, oral secretions will not fall into the trachea, and the contents of the stomach and esophagus on the posterior wall will not flow back into the trachea. The air pressure sensor 11 can detect the air pressure of the cuff 13 in real time and detect whether the cuff 13 is leaking. Otherwise, if the air cuff 13 cannot be detected in time, oral secretions and stomach contents may fall into the trachea, causing repeated lung infections. S3. The pH sensor probe 16 installed on one side of the airbag 13 can detect the fluid accumulation near the airbag 13. When fluid accumulation occurs, the fluid is drawn out through the inhalation tube 22. In addition, when the patient is in a bed-lying state, the collar 25 rotates under the action of the counterweight 28, always keeping the inhalation port 27 at the bottom of the collar 25. When combined with the inhalation tube 22, it can draw out the fluid to the greatest extent and avoid causing discomfort to the patient. S4. When oxygen is injected into the patient's trachea through the catheter 19, the temperature sensor 34 and humidity sensor 35 can detect the temperature and humidity of the oxygen, so that medical staff can adjust the temperature and humidity of the oxygen and the oxygen can be absorbed by the patient at the optimal temperature and humidity. S5. When the temperature sensor 34, humidity sensor 35, pH sensor probe 16, and pressure sensor 11 are damaged or need cleaning, the stop bar 17 can be moved to release the seal on the pH sensor probe 16 and remove it. Similarly, the connector 5 can be disconnected from the three-way pipe 2 to remove the pressure sensor 11. By removing the insertion ring 36 from one end of the conduit 19, the temperature sensor 34, humidity sensor 35, pH sensor probe 16, and pressure sensor 11 can be cleaned or replaced. The operation is simple. During the cleaning process, medical alcohol swabs can be used to wipe the surface of the sensor probe. Strongly corrosive cleaning agents are strictly prohibited. After cleaning, recalibration is required before reuse.
[0045] However, as is well known to those skilled in the art, the working principles and wiring methods of the temperature sensor 34, humidity sensor 35, pH sensor probe 16 and air pressure sensor 11 are all conventional methods or common knowledge, and will not be described in detail here. Those skilled in the art can make any selections according to their needs or convenience.
[0046] The accompanying drawings in this application are for illustrative purposes only. The dimensions and shapes of the components shown are not actual limitations but are merely schematic representations. In actual implementation, the components can be reasonably configured and adjusted according to specific needs and actual conditions.
[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
