AI Technical Summary
The current technology lacks a sterile surgical drape specifically for ECMO. Temporarily cutting open the operating incision increases the risk of infection and makes it impossible to use bedside ultrasound to assess the cannula depth in real time during ECMO initiation, affecting the accuracy and safety of the operation.
An ECMO sterile surgical drape was designed, which includes a first neck extubation fluoroscopy area, a leg extubation fluoroscopy area, a puncture port, and a chest and abdomen fluoroscopy area, providing convenience for fluoroscopy and puncture. An adjustable-length operating port is achieved by setting up operating sutures and tape. Combined with a bedside ultrasound operating area, a sterile environment and accurate catheter placement are ensured.
This approach eliminates the risk of infection during ECMO procedures, improves the accuracy and safety of the operation, facilitates bedside ultrasound assessment, and simplifies the operational process.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to an ECMO sterile surgical drape and its usage method. Background Technology
[0002] ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) is an extracorporeal life support technology used for patients with severe cardiopulmonary failure. It temporarily replaces cardiopulmonary function by drawing blood out of the body, oxygenating it through an artificial oxygenator, and then returning it to the body.
[0003] ECMO procedures involve multiple steps, including vascular puncture, cannulation, tubing connection, and intraoperative monitoring, requiring extremely high sterility. However, there is currently no dedicated sterile surgical drape for ECMO in clinical practice. Existing procedures often use sterile packs from interventional surgery as a substitute. These drapes were not originally designed for ECMO procedures, and in practice, the incision often needs to be temporarily cut according to the needs of the procedure, increasing the risk of intraoperative infection. Furthermore, it is impossible to use bedside ultrasound to assess the cannulation depth in real time during ECMO setup, affecting the accuracy and safety of the procedure. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address this, the present invention provides an ECMO sterile surgical drape and its usage method, which solves the technical problem that there is currently no sterile surgical drape specifically for ECMO in clinical practice. Alternative sterile drapes often require temporary cutting of the operating incision according to the operation requirements, which increases the risk of intraoperative infection. At the same time, they cannot use bedside ultrasound to assess the cannula depth in real time during ECMO insertion, affecting the accuracy and safety of the operation.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: On one hand, this application proposes an ECMO sterile surgical drape, including a drape body; a first cervical extubation fluoroscopic area is provided in the center of the upper part of the surgical drape body; a first cervical operation suture is provided in the center of the first cervical extubation fluoroscopic area along the length of the surgical drape body; a first cervical tape is adhered to the first cervical extubation fluoroscopic area above the first cervical operation suture; a pair of first cervical puncture holes are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the surgical drape body below the first cervical extubation fluoroscopic area; a chest and abdomen fluoroscopic area is provided in the center of the surgical drape body below the first cervical puncture holes; a pair of first groin puncture holes are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the surgical drape body below the first groin puncture holes; a pair of leg extubation fluoroscopic areas are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the surgical drape body below the first groin puncture holes; a leg operation suture is provided in the center of the leg extubation fluoroscopic area along the length of the surgical drape body; leg tape is adhered to the leg extubation fluoroscopic area above the leg operation suture.
[0006] Optionally, the surgical drape body on the left or right side of the first neck tube removal fluoroscopy area is provided with a second neck tube removal fluoroscopy area; the first neck tube removal fluoroscopy area and the second neck tube removal fluoroscopy area are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the surgical drape body; a second neck operation suture is opened in the center of the second neck tube removal fluoroscopy area along the length direction of the surgical drape body; a second neck tape is adhered to the second neck tube removal fluoroscopy area above the second neck operation suture.
[0007] Preferably, the first neck tape has a non-adhesive area on both the left and right sides; the second neck tape has a non-adhesive area on both the left and right sides; and the leg tape has a non-adhesive area on both the left and right sides.
[0008] Optionally, a pair of second neck puncture holes are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the surgical unit body outside the pair of first neck puncture holes.
[0009] Preferably, the top of the first neck puncture hole is covered with a first neck protective film; the top of the second neck puncture hole is covered with a second neck protective film.
[0010] Preferably, a pair of second groin puncture holes are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the surgical unit body outside the pair of first groin puncture holes.
[0011] Preferably, the top of the first groin puncture hole is covered with a first groin protective film; the top of the second groin puncture hole is covered with a second groin protective film.
[0012] On the other hand, this application also proposes a method for using the aforementioned ECMO sterile surgical drape, specifically including the following steps: S1: Lay the surgical drape onto the patient's body surface; S2: When changing the ECMO membrane or removing the ECMO cannula, locate the ECMO arterial and venous cannula marking points through the first neck cannula extubation fluoroscopy area and the leg cannula extubation fluoroscopy area; use a blade to cut and remove the tape from the first neck and leg cannula so that the exposed length of the first neck operation suture and the leg operation suture reaches the required operation opening length. S3: If puncture is performed through the neck, the puncture should be performed through the first cervical puncture port; if puncture is performed through the groin, the puncture should be performed through the first inguinal puncture port. S4: Perform bedside ultrasound procedures, using the fluoroscopic area of the chest and abdomen.
[0013] Preferably, step S2 further includes: if the first neck extubation fluoroscopy area is damaged and cannot be operated normally, then through the second neck extubation fluoroscopy area, locate the ECMO arteriovenous cannulation marker; use a blade to cut and remove the second neck tape so that the exposed length of the second neck operation suture reaches the required operation opening length.
[0014] Preferably, step S3 further includes: for patients with a large body size, the puncture can be performed through the second cervical puncture port or the second groin puncture port; and the first cervical protective film at the top of the currently selected first cervical puncture port, or the second cervical protective film at the top of the second cervical puncture port, or the first groin protective film at the top of the first groin puncture port, or the second groin protective film at the top of the second groin puncture port must be torn off first.
[0015] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: By setting up a first neck extubation fluoroscopy area and a leg extubation fluoroscopy area, it is easy to locate the ECMO arterial and venous cannulation markers during ECMO membrane replacement or ECMO extubation and weaning. The first neck tape and leg tape can be removed by cutting with a blade to ensure that the exposed length of the first neck operation suture and leg operation suture reaches the required operation incision length. At the same time, it is equipped with a first neck puncture port and a first groin puncture port to facilitate punctures through the neck and groin. In addition, a chest and abdomen fluoroscopy area is set up to facilitate bedside ultrasound operations.
[0016] Therefore, the ECMO sterile surgical drape and its usage method of the present invention have the advantages of being simple and convenient to use, with no risk of infection; at the same time, it can facilitate bedside ultrasound operation, and the operation is precise and safe.

[0024] An embodiment of the ECMO sterile surgical drape of the present invention, taking its application in adults as an example, such as... Figures 1 to 4As shown, a surgical drape body 1 is provided, with dimensions of 3000mm x 1500mm. A first cervical extubation fluoroscopic area 2 is located 300mm from the top center of the surgical drape body 1. The first cervical extubation fluoroscopic area 2 has dimensions of 400mm x 100mm and is made of medical transparent plastic, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and is integrally molded with the surgical drape body 1. A first cervical operating suture 3 is formed along the length of the surgical drape body 1 at the center of the first cervical extubation fluoroscopic area 2, with the same length as the first cervical extubation fluoroscopic area 2. A first cervical adhesive tape 4 is adhered to the first cervical extubation fluoroscopic area 2 above the first cervical operating suture 3. A pair of first cervical puncture holes 5 are symmetrically formed on the left and right sides of the surgical drape body 1 100mm below the first cervical extubation fluoroscopic area 2. The diameter of the first cervical puncture holes 5 is 100mm, and the distance between the pair of first cervical puncture holes 5 is 100mm. A chest and abdominal fluoroscopy zone 9 is centrally located on the surgical drape body 1, 200 mm below the first cervical puncture site 5. This zone is also made of medical-grade transparent plastic, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and is integrally molded with the surgical drape body 1. The dimensions of the chest and abdominal fluoroscopy zone 9 are 500 x 300 mm. A pair of first inguinal puncture sites 10 are symmetrically located on the left and right sides of the surgical drape body 1, 200 mm below the chest and abdominal fluoroscopy zone 9. The diameter of each first inguinal puncture site 10 is 100 mm, and the distance between the two first inguinal puncture sites 10 is 200 mm. A pair of symmetrical leg extubation fluoroscopic zones 14 are located on the left and right sides of the surgical drape body 1, 10-200 mm below the first groin puncture site. Each leg extubation fluoroscopic zone 14 measures 400 x 100 mm, with a 200 mm gap between them. The leg extubation fluoroscopic zones 14 are made of medical-grade transparent plastic, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and are integrally molded with the surgical drape body 1. A leg operation suture 15 is located in the center of the leg extubation fluoroscopic zone 14, extending along the length of the surgical drape body 1. The leg operation suture 15 is the same length as the leg extubation fluoroscopic zone 14. Leg tape 16 is adhered to the leg extubation fluoroscopic zone 14 above the leg operation suture 15. This application, by setting up a first cervical extubation fluoroscopy area 2 and a leg extubation fluoroscopy area 14, facilitates the location of ECMO arterial and venous cannulation markers during ECMO membrane replacement or ECMO extubation and weaning. The first cervical tape 4 and leg tape 16 are removed by cutting with a blade, allowing the exposed length of the first cervical operating suture 3 and leg operating suture 15 to reach the required operating incision length. Simultaneously, a first cervical puncture port 5 and a first groin puncture port 10 are provided for convenient transcervical and transgroin punctures. Additionally, a chest and abdominal fluoroscopy area 9 is provided for convenient bedside ultrasound procedures.
[0025] Optionally, to avoid damage to the first cervical extubation fluoroscopy area 2 that would prevent normal operation, a second cervical extubation fluoroscopy area 1 is provided on the surgical drape body 1 100mm to the left or right of the first cervical extubation fluoroscopy area 2. The second cervical extubation fluoroscopy area 17 has dimensions of 400mm x 100mm. The first cervical extubation fluoroscopy area 2 and the second cervical extubation fluoroscopy area 17 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the surgical drape body 1.
