Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of airway management equipment technology, and in particular to an airway management system with humidification management function. Background Technology
[0002] Artificial airway systems are a core component of intensive care and respiratory therapy. They typically consist of an airway management system, a ventilator, and a humidifier working in tandem. By warming and humidifying the gas supplied to the patient, they simulate the physiological environment of the body's natural airway, preventing airway mucosal damage and condensation buildup. Currently, most mainstream airway management systems rely on external humidifiers to regulate the temperature and humidification of the gas. However, humidifiers are often limited by structural design and cost factors, and are only equipped with basic temperature sensors. A few high-end devices may integrate a single flow or humidity sensor, lacking real-time and comprehensive monitoring of the gas parameters inside the endotracheal tube.
[0003] For example, patent document CN202410803766.7 discloses an airway management device and system, which typically concentrates the detection function at the humidifier or ventilator end, and cannot directly obtain the true environmental data of the proximal end of the patient's airway. When the external environment (such as room temperature, tubing length, patient breathing mode) changes, the existing system has difficulty dynamically adjusting the humidification output, resulting in insufficient humidification or excessive condensation, affecting the treatment effect and increasing clinical risks. Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose an airway management system with humidification management function to solve the technical problems of existing airway management systems lacking real-time synchronous detection of multiple parameters of gas in endotracheal tubes and poor system coordination.
