Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical appliances, and particularly relates to a wrapped liquid-cooling protection device for a lung transplantation donor organ. Background Art
[0002] In lung transplantation, after the lung transplantation donor organ (also called the donor lung) is removed from the donor's body, in order to protect the donor lung, it is necessary to maintain the low metabolic state of the donor lung and inhibit the formation of oxygen free radicals, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to store and transport the donor lung at a low temperature throughout the process. After obtaining the donor lung, controlling the ischemic time and completing the transplantation surgery as soon as possible are important factors to improve the overall survival rate of patients during the perioperative period. After the donor lung is placed into the recipient's chest cavity, it is still necessary to maintain the donor lung at a low temperature until the structures such as the bronchus and blood vessels are anastomosed during the surgery. Since the recipient's chest cavity remains at about 37°C after anesthesia, it is necessary to separate the donor lung from the inner wall of the chest cavity to maintain the low temperature.
[0003] In order to maintain the low temperature of the donor lung in the recipient's chest cavity, the traditional method is to wrap the donor lung with a gauze soaked in ice water or use crushed ice to lower the temperature of the chest cavity. The main defect of this method is that the water melted from the crushed ice needs to be sucked out, and the gauze needs to be replaced or crushed ice needs to be added again. Repeatedly performing this process during the surgery will significantly delay the surgical process. At the same time, the temperature of the donor lung may also fluctuate, and it cannot be stably maintained within the ideal range of 4 - 8°C. The extension of the transplantation surgery time and the temperature fluctuation of the donor lung may both reduce the transplantation success rate.
[0004] The Chinese utility model patent CN214285202U (publication date: September 28, 2021) discloses an efficient cooling device for lung transplantation. The cooling device body includes a plurality of placement bodies made of biodegradable and harmless materials to the patient's body. The plurality of placement bodies are stacked on top of each other in sequence from bottom to top. Ice chips for reducing the temperature of the donor lung are provided between the adjacent placement bodies up and down. With the biodegradable placement bodies, during the lung transplantation process of the patient, the donor lung can be continuously cooled, and only the water melted from the ice chips needs to be sucked out in time, without having to take out the biodegradable placement bodies from the patient's body. Although the above patent does not need to take out the placement bodies, it has the following disadvantages: First, the shape is similar to a rectangle, and the ice troughs are stacked in multiple layers under the donor lung, so the volume of the cooling device is large, which is not conducive to placing the donor lung in the recipient's chest cavity and may interfere with subsequent surgical operations; Second, the device cannot wrap the donor lung, and only the bottom surface of the donor lung in contact with the device can maintain the low temperature, and the rest of the lung surface is not protected by the cooling device; due to the individual differences in the volume and shape of the donor lung, the actual cooling effect of this device that cannot completely wrap the donor lung is limited. Therefore, the above patent cannot guarantee the temperature of the entire donor lung, has limited practicality, and cannot be effectively promoted and widely used. Content of the Utility Model

[0028] A wrapped lung transplant donor organ liquid cooling protection device, such as Figures 1 - 4 As shown, it includes a wrapped liquid cooling bag, which includes an integrally arranged middle piece 11, an upper piece 12 and a lower piece 13, the upper piece 12 and the lower piece 13 are respectively arranged in the middle of the upper and lower sides of the middle piece 11, and the liquid cooling bag is an axisymmetric structure, the middle piece 11 is curled into a cylindrical shape, and the upper piece 12 and the lower piece 13 are folded to cover the upper and lower ends of the cylindrical shape curled by the middle piece, respectively, for fully wrapping the donor organ of the lung transplantation, and the left and right sides of the middle piece 11 are respectively provided with notches 14, and the two notches 14 are closed after the middle piece 11 is curled, leaving an operating space for surgical anastomosis at the hilum of the lung. The left and right sides of the middle piece 11 of the liquid cooling bag are respectively provided with catheter interfaces 15 for receiving and outputting cooling liquid.
[0029] A main partition wall 16 is provided inside the liquid cooling bag along the vertical central axis across the upper piece 12, the middle piece 11, and the lower piece 13. The main partition wall 16 divides the liquid cooling bag into a left area and a right area. A channel is left between the two ends of the main partition wall 16 and the inner wall of the liquid cooling bag to connect the left area and the right area. A plurality of secondary partition walls 17 are provided inside the liquid cooling bag. The secondary partition walls 17 are staggered to divide the space inside the liquid cooling bag into a circuitous cooling liquid flow channel. The cooling liquid enters from the catheter interface on one side, flows along the circuitous cooling liquid flow channel, and is discharged from the catheter interface on the other side to perform heat exchange with the lung transplant donor organ to maintain the low temperature state of the lung transplant donor organ.
[0030] Preferably, the secondary partition wall 17 includes a plurality of first partition walls, which are arranged side by side inside the middle piece 11, one end of the first partition wall is connected to the inner wall of the liquid cooling bag, and the other end leaves a gap with the inner wall on the opposite side of the liquid cooling bag. The secondary partition wall 17 also includes a second partition wall, which is arranged inside the upper piece 12 and the lower piece 13 of the liquid cooling bag, and the second partition wall takes the center of the upper piece 12 or the lower piece 13 as a dot and is arranged in a divergent shape, one end is connected to the inner wall of the liquid cooling bag or the main partition wall 17, and the other end leaves a gap with the opposite main partition wall or the inner wall of the liquid cooling bag. Furthermore, a plurality of point-shaped partition columns 18 are arranged in the liquid cooling bag, and the partition columns 18 are arranged crosswise so that the coolant flows slowly in the liquid cooling bag. Preferably, the main partition wall 16, the secondary partition wall 17, and the partition columns 18 are formed by hot pressing.
[0031] Furthermore, the middle piece 11 of the liquid cooling bag is in a trapezoidal shape with a narrow top and a wide bottom, and after curling, it is in a conical cylindrical shape with a small top opening and a large bottom opening, which can better fit the three-dimensional shape of the lung transplant donor organ. The upper piece 12 and the lower piece 13 of the liquid cooling bag are in a semi-elliptical shape, and the middle piece 11 covers the front, back and outer sides of the donor lung after curling, the upper piece 12 covers the lung apex after folding, and the lower piece 13 covers the lung bottom after folding, which fully covers the lung transplant donor organ with liquid cooling protection, and can greatly separate the surface of the donor lung from the chest cavity to maintain the low temperature state of the donor lung.
[0032] Furthermore, the front side of the liquid cooling bag is defined as the lung contact surface, and the back side is defined as the chest contact surface. The lung contact surface is made of medical waterproof material to prevent leakage of cooling liquid, and the chest contact surface is made of thermal insulation material to reduce the risk of hypothermia for patients.
[0033] Preferably, the notch 14 is semicircular, and after the middle piece is curled, the two semicircular notches are closed to form a circle.
[0034] The volume and shape of the donor lung vary from person to person. Since the two sides of the human chest cavity are approximately mirror-symmetrical, the liquid cooling protection device of the utility model has an axisymmetric structure. The catheter interfaces on both sides can be switched to liquid inlet or outlet, and can be used in both left and right lung transplants. Specifically, when working, the liquid cooling bag is rolled into a three-dimensional structure, such as Figure 3 As shown in the figure, when the donor lung is the right lung, the donor lung is placed on the right area of the lung contact surface of the liquid cooling bag, the hilum of the donor lung is placed in the notch area, and then the left area is turned over and curled to cover the top of the donor lung, and then the upper and lower sheets are folded to form a covering; when the donor lung is the left lung, the donor lung is placed on the left area of the lung contact surface of the liquid cooling bag, and the hilum of the donor lung is placed in the notch area, as shown in the figure. Figure 4As shown, the right area is then flipped and curled to cover the donor lung, and then the upper and lower sheets are folded to form a wrap. After forming the wrap, one of the catheter interfaces of the liquid cooling bag is located on the dorsal side (the side near the ground) of the supine recipient, that is, below the donor lung, which serves as the liquid inlet, and the other catheter interface is located on the front chest side of the supine recipient, that is, above the donor lung, as the liquid outlet. That is, in the working state, the coolant enters from the bottom and exits from the top in the liquid cooling bag, and slowly flows along the "S-shaped" coolant flow path inside the liquid cooling bag to maintain the low temperature state of the donor lung.
[0035] This device does not require an ice maker to prepare ice sand or ice cubes. The coolant is physiological saline pre-cooled to 4°C. It can be used by connecting the liquid inlet of this device with an infusion bottle and an infusion hose with a speed-limiting roller. The coolant slowly flows inside the liquid cooling bag, and there is no need to manually suck out the water after the ice melts from the chest cavity. Compared with the traditional ice and gauze cooling, the operation steps are streamlined, the operation time is shorter, and the practicability is enhanced. During the operation, the temperature of the outflowing coolant is monitored in real time, and by adjusting the liquid flow rate or replacing the coolant with a different temperature, it is ensured that the working temperature of the liquid cooling bag is within the ideal range of 4-8°C.
[0036] Certainly, the present utility model may also have many other embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and essence of the present utility model, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and deformations according to the present utility model, but these corresponding changes and deformations should all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of the present utility model.
