Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a rat laryngoscope, in particular to a rat laryngoscope integrated with visualized sputum suction and tracheal intubation. Background Art

[0002] In the field of animal experiments, endotracheal intubation is a necessary prerequisite for the construction of many rat disease models, which can ensure the safety of the animal's airway and prevent reflux and aspiration. Currently, the commonly used endotracheal intubation methods are: blind intubation and laryngoscope.

[0003] The blind intubation method uses traditional tracheal intubation equipment. The design of traditional tracheal intubation equipment is mainly based on human anatomical structure and is used in animal experiments, especially rats. Their small size and narrow airway bring great challenges to tracheal intubation. Therefore, when using traditional tracheal intubation equipment, the operator needs to have rich tracheal intubation experience to complete the intubation accurately and quickly. Otherwise, repeated attempts are required, which not only consumes time, but also increases the pain of the animals and the uncertainty of the experimental results.

[0004] The laryngoscopic method uses a laryngoscope, such as a rat laryngoscope. Compared with traditional tracheal intubation equipment, the laryngoscope is simpler in the intubation process and reduces the operator's tracheal intubation experience requirements. However, it does not take into account the problem of airway secretions (sputum, etc.) that may be produced by rats during the intubation process. When rats are intubated with a rat laryngoscope, if their secretions are not cleaned in time, they may block the airway, affect the intubation process and subsequent ventilation effects, and increase the complexity and risk of the experiment. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a rat laryngoscope with integrated visual sputum suction and tracheal intubation, which can timely clean the airway secretions produced when the rat is intubated, avoid airway obstruction, and ensure a smooth intubation process and subsequent ventilation effect.

[0006] The utility model solves the above-mentioned technical problems by adopting the following technical solutions: a rat laryngoscope with integrated visualized sputum suction and endotracheal intubation, comprising a laryngoscope body, a camera and a light source are arranged on the front outer side of the laryngoscope body, the light source is used to illuminate the camera, the camera is used to take airway images during intubation and display them through an external terminal device, the laryngoscope body is provided with a channel running through the front and back, and a negative pressure suction ball is arranged at the rear end of the channel.

[0007] An interface communicating with the channel is fixedly provided at the rear end of the channel, and the negative pressure suction ball is communicated with the interface through a pipeline.

[0008] The light source and the camera are implemented by an integrated device, and the rear end of the laryngoscope body is provided with a charging port for charging the integrated device.

[0009] The external terminal device is a smart phone, an IPAD or a computer.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the advantage of the utility model lies in that a camera and a light source are arranged on the front outer side of the laryngoscope body, a channel running through the front and back is arranged on the laryngoscope body, and a negative pressure suction ball is arranged at the rear end of the channel. When intubating a rat, the light source illuminates the camera, and the camera takes real-time images of the airway during the intubation process and displays them through an external terminal device. The operator can observe in real time through the external terminal device whether secretions are generated in the airway, and after secretions are generated, the negative pressure suction ball is operated to suck the secretions out of the airway through the channel, thereby being able to clean up the generated airway secretions in time, avoid airway obstruction, and ensure a smooth intubation process and subsequent ventilation effect.

[0014] In this embodiment, when intubating a rat, the light source 3 illuminates the camera 2, and the camera 2 takes real-time images of the airway during the intubation process and displays them through an external terminal device. The operator can observe in real time through the external terminal device whether secretions are generated in the airway, and after secretions are generated, the negative pressure suction ball 5 is operated to suck the secretions out of the airway through the channel 4, so that the generated airway secretions can be cleaned in time, airway obstruction can be avoided, and the intubation process is smooth and the subsequent ventilation effect can be ensured.

In addition, the integrated device can be charged online through the charging port 8, thereby improving the convenience of using the rat laryngoscope.
