DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0014] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present utility model more obvious and understandable, the following will describe the detailed embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0015] Secondly, the present utility model will be described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When detailing the embodiments of the present utility model, for the convenience of description, the cross-sectional views showing the device structure will be enlarged locally out of the general proportion, and the schematic diagrams are only examples and should not limit the scope of protection of the present utility model herein. In addition, in actual production, three-dimensional spatial dimensions including length, width, and depth should be included.

[0016] In order to make the purpose, technical solution, and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the following will further describe the embodiments of the present utility model in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] Figure 1 - Figure 2 Shown is a schematic diagram of the entire structure of a apnea call device of the present utility model. Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 2, A apnea call device of this embodiment includes a controller 100 with a carbon dioxide monitor inside. At a position far from the controller 100, there is an end-tidal carbon dioxide detection module 200 electrically connected to the carbon dioxide monitor. One end of the end-tidal carbon dioxide detection module 200 is connected to a gas collection hose 210. The end of the gas collection hose 210 facing away from the end-tidal carbon dioxide detection module 200 is connected to a multi-channel nasal oxygen tube connector 220. At a position far from the controller 100, there is also a speaker 300 electrically connected to the controller 100.

[0018] The multi-channel nasal oxygen tube connector 220 includes a main pipe section 2201 that can be docked with an oxygen delivery tube, two nasal cannulas 2202 connected to one side of the main pipe section 2201, and a gas guiding end 2203 connected to the other side of the main pipe section 2201 and inserted and connected to the gas collection hose 210. Here, in order to enable the device to perform exhalation detection while the patient inserts the oxygen delivery tube, this device has made certain improvements to the conventional nasal oxygen tube connector. It sets a gas guiding end 2203 on the main pipe section 2201 in the opposite direction of the nasal cannulas 2202. In this way, the carbon dioxide generated when the patient breathes normally will be directly introduced into the gas collection hose 210 through the gas guiding end 2203. The length of the gas collection hose 210 is relatively short, so that the end-tidal carbon dioxide detection module 200 can timely detect whether the carbon dioxide is at a normal output value and output frequency. If an abnormal signal appears, the control end of the device will timely activate the call measure, which has the characteristics of simple structure, reasonable design and good practicability.

[0019] There is a wire one 230 connected between the end-tidal carbon dioxide detection module 200 and the carbon dioxide monitor controller 100 inside the controller 100, and a wire two 310 connected between the speaker 300 and the controller 100. Through the power supply and signal transmission provided by the set wire one 230 and wire two 310, the end-tidal carbon dioxide detection module 200 and the speaker 300 can operate stably without interruption, improving the practicability of the device.

[0020] Furthermore, wire collectors 120 corresponding to the wire one 230 and the wire two 310 are respectively arranged on both sides of the bottom of the controller 100. In actual use, since the distances between the device, the patient and the fixing body are not fixed, in order to avoid the troubles and inconveniences brought by too long or too short wires, the longer wire one 230 and wire two 310 are wound and released by the wire collectors 120, so that the wires can be stretched and contracted according to actual needs, further improving the practicability and convenience of the device.

[0021] Furthermore, an operation display area 110 is provided on the front of the controller 100. The controller 100 is also equipped with a power cord 400, and the outer end of the power cord 400 has a socket plug. It can be understood that the controller 100 here is the main control center of this device. Through the operation display area 110, the waveform diagram and specific values of carbon dioxide can be displayed, and data settings and warning calls for the device can be made according to the actual situation. In addition, by connecting the plug at the end of the power cord 400 to the socket, the device can operate normally during a call.

[0022] In summary, for a apnea call device of this embodiment, during use, the multi-channel nasal oxygen tube connector 220 can be inserted into the patient's nasal cavity. The exhaled carbon dioxide detection module 200 can timely capture the carbon dioxide value and output frequency introduced by the nasal oxygen tube connector through the gas collection hose 210. Once an abnormal signal appears, such as when the carbon dioxide output pauses, the controller 100 will determine that a dangerous signal has occurred in the patient and timely activate the speaker 300. Through the speaker 300, it can call and remind the patient, and at the same time attract the attention of medical staff, so as to timely save lives, effectively reduce the monitoring pressure of medical staff, and prevent scenarios where the observation of patients may be overlooked due to various reasons, especially during the transfer of patients. It has the characteristics of reasonable design, good practicability, and stability and reliability.

[0023] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various improvements can be made to it and components therein can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the various features in the embodiments disclosed in the present invention can be combined with each other in any way. The exhaustive description of these combinations is not given in this specification only for the sake of saving space and resources. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
