Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical equipment and relates to a tracheotomy cannula which is convenient for atomization inhalation. Background Art

[0002] Tracheotomy is the most common auxiliary diagnosis and treatment method for oral and maxillofacial head and neck surgery, especially oral and maxillofacial malignant tumors, including resection of more than 1 / 3 of the tongue for tongue cancer, tumors at the root of the tongue, oropharyngeal cancer, and mandibular resection beyond the midline for gingival cancer. Bilateral cervical lymph node dissection and reconstructive surgery with large skin flaps are required. Surgical trauma may cause hematoma, edema and flap crisis in the surgical area. In the above cases, preventive tracheotomy is usually performed before surgery. In addition, the indications for tracheotomy include patients who cannot clear upper respiratory tract secretions independently or have severe progressive obstructive dyspnea and need long-term ventilator-assisted breathing, as well as emergency situations such as acute airway obstruction caused by massive bleeding, tissue swelling, and sputum blockage. In order to save the patient's life, emergency tracheotomy needs to be performed immediately.

[0003] After tracheotomy, the normal defense function of the respiratory tract is damaged, and the moisturizing and heat preservation functions of the respiratory tract are lost, which makes it easy for airway secretions to become viscous and form sputum crusts, as well as surgical trauma to damage the airway mucosa and form blood crusts due to exudation of blood. Therefore, postoperative airway management after oral and maxillofacial head and neck surgery is an important measure to prevent upper airway obstruction. If the airway is not managed properly, it may cause complications such as lung infection, cannula blockage, tracheotomy wound infection, and erosion of the airway wall mucosa to form fistulas. In order to prevent the occurrence of complications, good airway management must be done, among which airway atomization is crucial.

[0004] At present, there are two main nebulization methods most commonly used in clinical practice. One is ultrasonic nebulization inhalation (once every 4 hours or inhaled by mask for 20 minutes as needed), and the other is intermittent direct instillation of nebulized liquid into the airway (about 2 ml of nebulized liquid is dripped into the airway every 30 minutes). The disadvantage of the former is that the contact surface of the mask is large, the effect is not obvious, and the utilization efficiency of the nebulized liquid is low, resulting in a certain amount of waste; the disadvantage of the latter is that it is easy to cause choking and coughing in patients, and the patient's comfort level is significantly reduced, which is very inconvenient for medical staff to operate. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the methods of nebulization and humidification on the existing basis, improve the efficiency of expectoration, and reduce waste. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model aims to provide a tracheotomy cannula that is convenient for atomization inhalation.

[0006] The utility model provides a tracheotomy cannula that is convenient for atomization inhalation, and simplifies a conventional tracheotomy cannula and an atomization inhalation channel into the same tubular structure. In addition to realizing conventional breathing and expectoration functions, the device can also be used as an atomization spray injection device to improve atomization efficiency and reduce drug waste. The patient can operate it alone, and the operation process is simpler and more convenient. Through the tracheotomy cannula in the utility model, the drug can be atomized and input into a specified position, and can also be used for humidification.

[0007] Specifically, the tracheotomy cannula in the utility model comprises a cannula body and an injection joint connected to the cannula body;

[0008] The sleeve body is a curved, two-layer structure with two ends connected, including a sleeve outer wall and a sleeve inner wall, and a hollow structure is formed between the sleeve outer wall and the sleeve inner wall; the two ends of the sleeve body are respectively an inhalation end inserted into the trachea and an outlet end exposed outside the body;

[0009] One or more air jet holes are arranged on the inner wall of the sleeve at the suction end; the air jet holes are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the sleeve, occupying about 1 / 4-1 / 2 of the inner wall surface of the sleeve;

[0010] In a specific embodiment, the distribution range of the air injection holes occupies 1 / 3 of the inner wall surface of the sleeve.

[0011] The injection joint is connected to the sleeve body in an integral or detachable manner.

[0012] The injection joint is detachably connected to the sleeve body through a structure including a ferrule, a gasket, a sealing ring, etc.

[0013] The inner diameter of the cannula body is 5-10 mm, and the outer diameter is 6-14 mm; the suction end of the cannula body can be inserted into the trachea of ​​a patient undergoing a tracheotomy, and the outlet end can discharge the generated liquid out of the body.

[0014] The injection joint comprises an injection tube and an injection interface, wherein the injection interface is arranged at the end of the injection tube, and the injection interface can be connected to a connecting tube of an external atomization device.

[0015] The injection interface includes a plug-in type, a snap-on type, and a threaded type.

[0016] The diameter of the jet hole is 1-2 mm; the atomized gas in the hollow chamber between the outer wall of the sleeve and the inner wall of the sleeve can be sprayed out through the jet hole.

[0017] The inner diameter of the sleeve body of the tracheotomy sleeve matches the model of the inner sleeve, and the sleeve body of different sizes is selected according to the diameter of the inner sleeve; the outlet end of the sleeve body can be connected to a negative pressure device, and a sputum suction tube connected to the negative pressure device can be inserted from the outlet end of the tracheotomy sleeve, which can help patients to suction sputum.

[0018] The outlet end of the tracheotomy tube may also be conventionally provided with a butterfly-shaped gasket and an external joint, wherein the gasket is used for fixing the tracheotomy tube to the patient to prevent displacement during treatment, and the external joint can be connected to an external device.

[0019] The improvement in the utility model is to change the conventional disposable tracheotomy tube into a double-layer design, the channel in the inner wall of the tube body can be used as a normal sputum discharge channel, the outer wall of the tube is coated on the outer side of the inner wall of the tube and forms a chamber for loading atomized spray with the inner wall of the tube, and the outer wall of the tube is provided with an injection pipe and an injection interface for injecting atomized spray into the chamber near the outlet end of the tube body. The utility model simplifies the conventional tracheotomy tube and atomization inhalation into the same tubular structure, improves the efficiency of atomization inhalation, reduces the waste of atomized liquid, and the patient can perform single-person operation, and the operation process is simpler and more convenient.

[0020] The tracheotomy tube of the utility model can be used in application scenarios such as oxygen supply, atomization during ventilator-assisted breathing, atomization administration of medicines, etc., and is convenient to use.

[0021] The beneficial effects of the utility model include:

[0022] 1. Improve atomization efficiency and reduce waste: The conventional mask inhalation atomization method for tracheotomy patients (placing the mask at the tracheotomy opening) is prone to leakage of atomization liquid, resulting in drug waste. At the same time, the contact area of ​​the mask is large, and the efficiency of truly effective atomization is low. The utility model can significantly improve the atomization efficiency.

[0023] 2. Simplified atomization device: The utility model simplifies the conventional tracheotomy cannula and atomization device into the same structure, effectively reducing resource waste.

[0024] 3. Convenient operation for patients and increased comfort: When patients perform atomization operation, they only need to connect the atomization connecting tube to the injection port of the sleeve body, take out the inner sleeve, and turn on the atomization machine to complete the atomization operation. It is simple, convenient, and comfortable.

[0025] 4. When a conventional oral and nasal mask is used for atomization inhalation (the mask fits the face and covers the mouth and nose), the drug enters the lower respiratory tract through the nasal cavity, and is blocked by physiological and anatomical structures such as the nasal concha and the presence of many ineffective cavities, resulting in drug retention in the nasal cavity and oral cavity, causing drug loss, resulting in a low drug deposition rate in the lungs and poor efficacy; however, the tracheotomy cannula in the utility model has a significantly greater atomization inhalation amount than the nasal inhalation amount, and the amount of drug deposited in the lungs will be significantly greater than the atomization inhalation amount through the nasal mask, thereby improving the efficacy of the drug.
