Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medical equipment, in particular to an infusion set with an exhaust device. Background Art

[0002] Intravenous infusion is the most common and widely used treatment method in clinical practice. However, in clinical practice, the liquid is often not replaced in time due to various reasons, resulting in liquid supply interruption and air entering below the Murphy's dropper. If not handled in time, it may cause tension and panic in patients, and may even cause the risk of air embolism. The squeezer exhaust method, the drug wrapping infusion exhaust method, and the separation infusion set exhaust method are commonly used in clinical practice. The squeezer exhaust method and the drug wrapping infusion exhaust method are often used when the liquid is left 60cm below the Murphy's dropper. The liquid below needs to be separated from the end of the infusion set and the needleless connector, and the flow regulator is opened to allow the liquid and air in the lower section of the infusion set to be discharged, and then the end of the infusion set is connected to the needleless connector to continue the infusion. The patient gathering area in the ward is an environment with a large flow of people and a high content of bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma and other microorganisms in the air. Such an operation exposes the lower end of the infusion set to the air, which may cause microbial contamination. If sodium chloride or glucose solutions drip outside, it may increase the growth and reproduction of bacteria, viruses, and mycoplasma in the air, affecting the air environment of the ward; if chemotherapy drugs or immune liquids drip outside, it may cause iatrogenic damage. Furthermore, the minimum residual volume of the infusion set is 3-7 ml. If it is directly discharged, it will cause a waste of liquid medicine and cannot guarantee the accuracy of the drug dosage used by the patient. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an infusion set that can achieve effective exhaust, no waste, and no growth and reproduction of air bacteria and viruses.

[0003] Chinese patent CN205360120U discloses an infusion device capable of measuring venous pressure, comprising an infusion device body, a conversion tee connected between the infusion device body inlet tube and the Murphys drip pot. Graduation lines are set on the infusion pipeline, fixed adhesive tapes are set at the zero point and the highest scale of the scale line, and an automatic exhaust valve is set at the end of the infusion pipeline of the infusion device body. The utility model is used during infusion, the zero point of the scale is flush with the heart and fixed, the pipeline in the scale area is placed vertically and fixed, the conversion tee is connected to the infusion passage under normal conditions and can be used for conventional infusion, when the venous pressure needs to be measured, the conversion tee is rotated to terminate the infusion and the infusion passage is connected to the atmosphere, the liquid in the pipeline can drop to the liquid level under the action of gravity and no longer drop, and the venous pressure value can be obtained by reading the scale value of the liquid level. When it is necessary to continue the infusion, the tee is converted to the air inlet passage connected to the wall of the infusion passage, the infusion will continue, and the gas in the pipeline is discharged through the automatic exhaust valve. The utility model reduces the workload of doctors, is extremely convenient to measure venous pressure, has a simple structure, and is reliable. The basic principle of the automatic exhaust valve used in the above patent is to set an exhaust water-blocking membrane in the direction connected to the infusion pipeline, so that liquid cannot pass through the membrane. However, the automatic exhaust valve exhausts slowly, and the liquid in the infusion tube falls quickly, which will make the exhaust incomplete. Utility Model Content
