Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medical equipment, in particular to a condensed water collecting device for a breathing machine pipeline. Background Art

[0002] As a life support device that artificially replaces spontaneous ventilation, ventilators play an irreplaceable role in the treatment of patients with severe respiratory diseases. In recent years, with the development of medicine and the widespread use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, the incidence of respiratory nosocomial infectious diseases, mainly VAP (ventilator-associated pneumonia), caused by the use of ventilators has remained high. Studies have shown that ventilator condensate is an important place for bacterial reproduction, and VAP is closely related to improper condensate management.

[0003] Traditionally, condensed water from the ventilator pipeline is collected using a water collection cup. When the condensed water is full, the water collection cup needs to be replaced and dumped. If the water collection cup is not dumped in time, especially when it is full and backflows, it is not only a factor in the onset of VAP, but in severe cases it will also hinder the patient's breathing mechanism and cause suffocation. Manual monitoring of the water level in the water collection cup will result in labor waste. When the water collection cup is removed and dumped, the ventilator pipeline and the critically ill patient's mask breathing pipeline will be temporarily separated, affecting the critically ill patient's breathing. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a ventilator pipeline condensate collection device. After the condensate is collected in the water collecting cup, the condensate will be pre-disinfected, and the condensate will flow into a detachable waste liquid collector through the bottom check valve. Only the waste liquid collector needs to be replaced manually in time, which saves time and effort. During the entire condensate treatment process, the ventilator pipeline and the pipeline of the critically ill patient's breathing mask are not separated, which will not affect the patient's breathing. When the waste liquid collector is full, an audible and visual alarm will be issued, and medical staff does not need to continuously monitor the condensate level in the water collecting cup, reducing the workload of medical staff.

[0005] According to the utility model, a condensate collection device for a ventilator pipeline comprises: a Y-shaped three-way head, the two ends of the upper side of which are respectively tightly connected to the trachea end of the ventilator and the trachea end of the mask; a condensate collection bottle, which is an inverted conical bottle, the top opening of which is tightly connected to the bottom end of the three-way head; a disinfection filter screen, which is arranged at the lower gathering opening of the condensate collection bottle and is used for pre-disinfection of condensate; a check valve, which is arranged on the bottom surface of the condensate collection bottle, and condensate can pass through it in one direction and flow downward; a waste liquid collector, which is arranged below the condensate collection bottle and is detachably connected to the condensate collection bottle and is used to hold condensate flowing through the check valve, and an exhaust hole is arranged on the top of the waste liquid collector to keep the air pressure inside and outside the waste liquid collector balanced when condensate drips in, and the position of the exhaust hole is higher than the position of the check valve, so that condensate will not overflow from the exhaust hole.

[0006] Furthermore, rubber sealing rings are arranged at the three ends of the tee to further improve its air tightness.

[0007] Furthermore, the sterilizing filter net is a sterilizing filter cotton.

[0008] Furthermore, the waste liquid collector is a waste liquid collecting bottle, an external thread is arranged on the outer side of the lower part of the condensed water collecting bottle, and an internal thread is arranged on the upper part of the waste liquid collecting bottle and is threadedly connected to the lower part of the condensed water collecting bottle.

[0009] Furthermore, the waste liquid collector is a waste liquid collection bag, and the waste liquid collection bag is bundled at the lower part of the condensed water collection bottle.

[0010] Furthermore, a top cover is provided on the top of the condensate collection bottle, which can be opened to facilitate replacement of the disinfection filter.

[0011] Furthermore, a switch is arranged outside the condensed water collecting bottle for opening and closing the check valve, and when the waste liquid collector is replaced, the switch is adjusted to close the check valve to prevent leakage.

[0012] Furthermore, a sensor is provided on the check valve, and the remote end of the sensor is connected to an alarm device. When the condensed water floods the check valve, the sensor transmits an alarm signal and performs an audible and visual alarm.

[0013] According to the technical solution disclosed in the utility model, a sensor is provided on the check valve to connect the alarm device. When the condensed water is collected to the height of the check valve, an alarm is issued to prompt the replacement of the waste liquid collector. A disposable bottle or bag can be used for the waste liquid collector. The entire replacement process saves time and effort. During the replacement process, the check valve is closed to prevent leakage and contamination. At the same time, it also ensures that the ventilator pipeline and the pipeline of the critically ill patient's breathing mask are not detached, which will not affect the patient's breathing.
