Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medical device technology, and specifically relates to an integrated device for monitoring intravascular blood pH and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Maintaining homeostasis, especially acid-base balance, is a crucial core treatment goal in the treatment of critically ill patients (such as those undergoing major surgery, severe trauma, or septic shock). However, during surgery, the surgical procedure and anesthesia can disrupt the patient's homeostasis, causing dynamic fluctuations in pH levels. Continuous monitoring of pH levels is necessary to support clinical decision-making. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an integrated deep vein puncture device for monitoring intravascular blood pH and its usage method. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An integrated device for monitoring intravascular blood pH via deep vein puncture includes: An indwelling needle catheter, comprising a relatively independent first tubing and a second tubing, wherein the first tubing is used to deliver therapeutic fluids and the second tubing is used for blood sampling; A three-way valve is mounted on the indwelling needle seat, and its three ports are respectively connected to the second pipeline, the pH detection unit, and the flushing fluid unit. The three-way valve is equipped with a knob, and the knob is detachably connected to a three-way valve driver. The housing of the three-way valve driver is fixed on the indwelling needle seat and is used to drive the three-way valve to switch between different working positions. The pH detection unit includes a suction pump and a pH meter. The control module is connected to the pH detection unit, the three-way valve driver, and external clinical equipment signals.

[0004] Furthermore, the indwelling needle seat is provided with a slot, the three-way valve driver is provided with a protrusion that cooperates with the slot, and the driving end of the three-way valve driver is detachably connected to the knob.

[0005] Furthermore, the external clinical equipment includes at least one of a ventilator, a monitor, and an anesthesia machine.

[0006] Furthermore, the pH detection unit includes: The third pipeline has a first end connected to the three-way valve, and a second end that is detachably connected in sequence along the fluid direction to a suction pump, a pH meter, and a waste liquid tank. The third pipeline is equipped with a first one-way valve.

[0007] Furthermore, a second check valve is also provided between the second pipeline and the three-way valve.

[0008] Furthermore, the flushing fluid unit includes: The fourth pipeline has a first end connected to the three-way valve and a second end connected to a heparinized saline flushing bag. A third one-way valve is installed on the fourth pipeline.

[0009] Furthermore, the inlet of the second pipeline is located on the side wall of the second pipeline.

[0010] Furthermore, the inlet of the second tubing is one or more side holes to reduce the dilution of the extracted blood sample by the infusion fluid from the first tubing.

[0011] A method of using an integrated device for monitoring intravascular blood pH, comprising any of the aforementioned integrated devices for monitoring intravascular blood pH, including: Under normal circumstances, the control module controls the three-way valve driver and pH detection unit to perform the following cycle according to the first preset cycle: switch the three-way valve to the position that connects the second pipeline to the pH detection unit, and start the suction pump of the pH detection unit to draw blood samples to the pH detection unit for analysis. After the analysis is completed, switch the three-way valve to the position that connects the flushing fluid unit to the second pipeline and start the suction pump to flush the pipeline. The first preset cycle is 5-15 minutes.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] refer to Figure 1 An integrated device for monitoring intravascular blood pH via deep vein puncture, comprising: An indwelling needle catheter includes a relatively independent first tubing 2 and a second tubing 3. The first tubing 2 is used to deliver therapeutic fluids, and the second tubing 3 is used for blood sampling. Three-way valve 14 is installed on the indwelling needle seat 1, and its three ports are respectively connected to the second pipeline 3, the pH detection unit and the flushing fluid unit. The three-way valve 14 is equipped with a knob, and the knob is detachably connected to a three-way valve driver. The housing of the three-way valve driver is fixed on the indwelling needle seat and is used to drive the three-way valve to switch between different working positions. The control module is connected to the pH detection unit, the three-way valve actuator, and the external clinical equipment signals.

[0022] This invention can automatically and intermittently complete the entire "sampling-detection-rinsing" process according to a preset cycle, providing a near-continuous dynamic trend curve of pH value changes. Anesthesiologists or ICU physicians can intuitively see the direction and rate of pH value changes, enabling early warning of latent acidosis / alkalosis, and thus allowing intervention before clinical symptoms significantly worsen, significantly improving the timeliness and accuracy of treatment.

[0023] In this embodiment, the indwelling needle seat 1 is provided with a slot, the three-way valve driver is provided with a protrusion that cooperates with the slot, and the driving end of the three-way valve driver is detachably connected to the knob.

[0024] In practice, the detachable connection design between the three-way valve actuator and the disposable three-way valve stopcock, as well as the way it is fixed on the indwelling needle hub, achieves the separation of the drive mechanism (reusable) from the consumable tubing (disposable). This controls usage costs and makes clinical operation extremely simple.

[0025] In this embodiment, the external clinical equipment includes at least one of a ventilator, a monitor, and an anesthesia machine.

[0026] In this embodiment, the pH detection unit includes: The third pipeline 4 has a first end connected to a three-way valve, and the second end is detachably connected to a suction pump 9, a pH meter 10 and a waste liquid tank 11 in sequence along the fluid direction. A first one-way valve 6 is installed on the third pipeline 4.

[0027] In practice, the second tubing is only used to draw a very small amount of blood (about tens of microliters each time), which has no effect on the patient's circulation. This reduces the risks of pain, hematoma and infection caused by repeated punctures.

[0028] In practice, liquid stop clamps 13 are installed on the first pipeline 2 and the third pipeline 4.

[0029] In this embodiment, a second check valve 7 is also provided between the second pipeline 3 and the three-way valve.

[0030] In this embodiment, the flushing fluid unit includes: The fourth pipeline 5 has a first end connected to a three-way valve and a second end connected to a heparinized saline flushing bag 12. A third one-way valve 8 is installed on the fourth pipeline 5.

[0031] In this embodiment, the liquid inlet of the second pipeline 3 is located on the side wall of the second pipeline 3.

[0032] In this embodiment, the inlet of the second pipeline 3 is one or more side holes to reduce the dilution of the extracted blood sample by the infusion fluid from the first pipeline 2.

[0033] In practice, the second pipeline uses a side-wall inlet, which effectively reduces the dilution of the collected blood sample by the liquid continuously infused by the first pipeline, ensuring the representativeness of the sample and the accuracy of the test results.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] This embodiment provides a method for using an integrated device for monitoring intravascular blood pH using deep vein puncture. The integrated device for monitoring intravascular blood pH using deep vein puncture, as described in Embodiment 1, includes: Under normal circumstances, the control module controls the three-way valve driver and pH detection unit to perform the following cycle according to the first preset cycle: switch the three-way valve to the position that connects the second pipeline 3 to the pH detection unit, and start the suction pump 9 of the pH detection unit to draw blood samples to the pH detection unit for analysis. After the analysis is completed, switch the three-way valve to the position that connects the flushing fluid unit to the second pipeline and start the suction pump 9 to flush the pipeline. The first preset cycle is 5-15 minutes. In abnormal situations, upon receiving an abnormal status signal from an external clinical device, the execution cycle of the cycle is adjusted from a first preset cycle to a shorter second preset cycle, which is 1-3 minutes. The abnormal status signal includes at least one of decreased blood oxygen saturation, abnormal heart rate, or abnormal blood pressure.

[0036] In practice, when abnormal fluctuations in a patient's vital signs are detected (such as a sudden drop in blood oxygen saturation or a rapid drop in blood pressure), the system can automatically switch the monitoring frequency from a regular cycle (such as every 10 minutes) to a high-frequency emergency cycle (such as every 2 minutes). This ensures that high temporal resolution data is provided during the most unstable and intensive monitoring phases, while reducing unnecessary blood sampling when the patient's condition is stable.

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
