[0002] The core parts of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are membrane lungs and blood pumps, which can provide long-term cardiopulmonary support for patients with severe cardiopulmonary failure, buying precious time for the rescue of critically ill patients. Among them, the membrane lung is a consumable and needs to be replaced immediately in response to emergencies during certain treatments.

[0003] Common extracorporeal membrane oxygenation equipment also includes venous tubes, arterial tubes and connecting tubes. The venous tube is led out from the human femoral vein and connected to the inlet of the blood pump. The outlet of the blood pump is connected to the inlet of the membrane lung with a connecting tube, and the outlet of the membrane lung is connected to the human femoral artery through an arterial tube. When replacing the membrane lung during ECMO use, it is necessary to cut the arterial tubes and connecting tubes before and after the membrane lung, and then connect a new membrane lung. However, doing so will have many disadvantages. One is that it will cause interruption of treatment for the patient, and the patient may have potential risks such as hypoxemia and hypotension. In severe cases, it may even endanger the patient's life; the second is that when cutting the original pipeline to connect the new membrane lung, it is easy to cause blood splattering, resulting in occupational exposure of medical staff, and the whole process is cumbersome and time-consuming, which is not convenient for clinical work.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it, but the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the utility model provides an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation device capable of quickly replacing a membrane lung 3, comprising:

[0025] The blood pump 1 has a first Y-shaped distribution pipe 2 at its outlet, the first Y-shaped distribution pipe 2 includes a first main pipe 210, a first branch pipe 220 and a second branch pipe 230, and the first main pipe 210 is connected to the blood pump 1;

[0026] A membrane lung 3, whose inlet is connected to the first branch pipe 220, and a first pipeline clamp valve 8 is provided between the first branch pipe 220 and the membrane lung 3, and a second Y-shaped distribution pipe 4 is provided at the outlet of the membrane lung 3, and the second Y-shaped distribution pipe 4 includes a second main pipe 410, a third branch pipe 420 and a fourth branch pipe 430, and the fourth branch pipe 430 is connected to the membrane lung 3, and a second pipeline clamp valve 9 is provided between the membrane lung 3 and the fourth branch pipe 430;

[0027] The bridge section pipeline 5 has two ends connected to the second branch pipe 230 and the third branch pipe 420 respectively, a third pipeline clamp valve 10 is provided between the bridge section pipeline 5 and the second branch pipe 230, and a fourth pipeline clamp valve 11 is further provided between the third branch pipe 420 and the bridge section pipeline 5;

[0028] There are two three-way valves 6 , which are respectively arranged on the bridge section pipeline 5 near the third pipeline clamp valve 10 and the fourth pipeline clamp valve 11 .

[0029] This extracorporeal membrane oxygenation device with a membrane lung that can be quickly replaced connects the membrane lung 3 and the bridge pipeline 5 in parallel through two Y-shaped distribution tubes. The first pipeline clamp valve 8 and the second pipeline clamp valve 9 are normally open, and the third pipeline clamp valve 10 and the fourth pipeline clamp valve 11 are normally closed. When the membrane lung 3 needs to be replaced during ECMO use, the priming fluid is first injected into the bridge pipeline 5 using the three-way valve 6, and then the bridge pipeline 5 is cut off and a new membrane lung is connected to the bridge pipeline 5. The third pipeline clamp valve 10 and the fourth pipeline clamp valve 11 are opened in turn, and the first pipeline clamp valve 8 and the second pipeline clamp valve 9 are closed at the same time. The original treatment plan of the entire device is not interrupted during the process of replacing the membrane lung 3, which can ensure that the patient's vital signs fluctuate. Moreover, when the new membrane lung is connected, the bridge pipeline 5 is filled with priming fluid, and there is no risk of occupational exposure of medical staff. The overall operation is convenient and the replacement time of the membrane lung is greatly saved.

[0030] Specifically, each connecting pipeline maintains the pipeline material of the original extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) equipment, and the Y-shaped distribution pipe, three-way valve 6 and bridge pipeline 5 are all made of medical high-pressure resistant materials; the length of the bridge pipeline 5 should ensure the smooth connection of the new membrane lung; the inlet and outlet of the three-way valve 6 should be connected to the pipeline with a clamp to ensure the airtightness of the pipeline; the pipeline clamp valve should use a valve that matches the pipeline size and closes tightly, and can be customized if necessary.

[0031] Furthermore, the three-way valve 6 includes an input port, an output port and a pre-filling port 610 , and the pre-filling port 610 is used to inject pre-filling liquid into the bridge section pipeline 5 .

[0032] Specifically, the input port of the three-way valve 6 at the rear end is tightly connected to the rear end of the bridge section pipeline 5, the input port of the three-way valve 6 at the rear end is tightly connected to the fifth connecting pipe 16 mentioned later, the input port of the three-way valve 6 at the front end is tightly connected to the fourth connecting pipe 15 mentioned later, and the output port of the three-way valve 6 at the front end is tightly connected to the front end of the bridge section pipeline 5. The pre-filling ports 610 of the two three-way valves 6 are used for circulating the pre-filling liquid. In this embodiment, the pre-filling liquid is physiological saline to ensure that the pre-filling liquid can fill the entire bridge section pipeline 5.

[0033] Furthermore, a sealing tube 7 is provided between the inlet of the blood pump 1 and the outlet of the membrane lung 3. The sealing tube 7 includes an arterial cannula 710 and a venous cannula 720. One end of the arterial cannula 710 is connected to the second main pipe 410, and the other end of the arterial cannula 710 is connected to the venous cannula 720. The end of the venous cannula 720 away from the arterial cannula 710 is connected to the inlet of the blood pump 1.

[0034] Specifically, the sealing tube 7 seals all pipelines between the blood pump 1 and the membrane lung 3 to ensure the pipeline sealing of the entire device during transportation and movement. When in use, it is only necessary to cut it at a suitable position in the middle of the sealing tube 7. One section of the arterial cannula 710 is used to connect to the human femoral artery, and the other section of the venous cannula 720 is used to connect to the human femoral vein.

[0035] Further, a first connecting tube 12 is provided between the blood pump 1 and the first main pipe 210. A second connecting tube 13 is provided between the membrane lung 3 and the first branch pipe 220, and the first pipeline clamp valve 8 is clamped on the second connecting tube 13. A third connecting tube 14 is provided between the membrane lung 3 and the fourth branch pipe 430, and the second pipeline clamp valve 9 is clamped on the third connecting tube 14. A fourth connecting tube 15 is provided between the bridge section pipeline 5 and the second branch pipe 230, and the third pipeline clamp valve 10 is clamped on the fourth connecting tube 15. A fifth connecting tube 16 is provided between the bridge section pipeline 5 and the third branch pipe 420, and the fourth pipeline clamp valve 11 is clamped on the fifth connecting tube 16.

[0036] Specifically, the length of each connecting pipe is designed according to actual needs, and the connection between the above-mentioned components of each connecting pipe must be tight enough to ensure the normal use of the entire device.

[0037] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived from these are still within the scope of protection of the invention of the utility model.
