[0027] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. Now, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model will be given.
[0028] The existing technology has the following disadvantages:
[0029] 1. The workload of medical staff is relatively heavy. The reason is that in order to ensure smooth breathing of patients and prevent sputum from clogging the breathing tube, medical staff need to use negative pressure sputum extraction equipment to extract sputum several times a day.
[0030] 2. Medical staff are more anxious. This is because the time and amount of sputum discharge are not controlled, so medical staff often worry about whether the patient has a lot of sputum left in the breathing tube.
[0031] 3. It is not conducive to the patient's recovery. The reason is that when using negative pressure sputum suction equipment, the breathing tube must be separated first, so the breathing tube will be deactivated, which is not conducive to the patient's recovery. In addition, the probability of cross-infection in the hospital will also increase.
[0032] 4. High nursing costs. First, medical staff need to use negative pressure suction equipment to extract sputum multiple times a day, so the demand for medical staff is relatively large and the labor cost is relatively high. Second, each time a negative pressure suction device is used to extract sputum, disposable medical supplies are required, such as the pipes and fittings required for the negative pressure suction device. Disposable medical supplies will incur a part of the cost. Because the negative pressure suction device needs to be used multiple times a day, the expenditure on disposable medical supplies is high, and the financial burden on patients is heavy.
[0033] The present invention provides a tracheotomy care connector 100. Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the tracheotomy care connector 100 includes a sputum chamber 110, a first interface 120, and a second interface 130. The sputum chamber 110 includes a chamber bottom 111 and a chamber cover 112. The chamber bottom 111 and the chamber cover 112 enclose a sputum storage chamber 113. The sputum chamber 110 is provided with an opening 114 that connects to the sputum storage chamber 113. The first interface 120 is provided on the chamber bottom 111 and is used to connect to the tracheotomy tube 200. The second interface 130 is provided on the side of the chamber cover 112 facing away from the first interface 120 and is used to connect to the breathing circuit.
[0034] By implementing this embodiment, the patient's sputum can be discharged into the sputum storage chamber 113 through the tracheotomy tube 200, and the sputum storage chamber 113 can store a certain amount of sputum. Therefore, the sputum chamber 110 provided in this embodiment has the following beneficial effects:
[0035] 1. Reduce the workload of medical staff. The reason is that the sputum chamber 110 and the sputum storage cavity 113 can store a certain amount of sputum without affecting the patient's breathing. Therefore, the number of times medical staff use the negative pressure sputum extraction device can be reduced.
[0036] 2. Reduce the anxiety of medical staff. The reason is that the sputum storage chamber 113 of the sputum chamber 110 can store a certain amount of sputum without affecting the patient's breathing, so medical staff do not often worry about sputum remaining in the breathing tube affecting the patient's free breathing.
[0037] 3. It is beneficial to the patient's recovery. The reason is that since the opening 114 used in conjunction with the negative pressure sputum suction device is set on the sputum chamber 110, there is no need to separate the breathing tube when using the negative pressure sputum suction device. Not only does the breathing tube do not need to be deactivated, but the probability of cross infection in the hospital can also be effectively reduced.
[0038] 4. Reduced nursing costs. First, because the negative pressure suction device is used less frequently, a single medical staff member can care for more patients, thereby reducing labor costs. Second, because the negative pressure suction device is used less frequently, the amount of disposable medical supplies used is reduced, significantly reducing the cost of disposable medical supplies and reducing the financial burden on patients.
[0039] refer to Figure 4 In a specific embodiment, the first interface 120 protrudes from the side of the bin bottom 111 facing the bin cover 112. In this way, the sputum entering the sputum storage cavity 113 is not so easy to flow back into the tracheotomy tube 200, which is conducive to ensuring smooth breathing for the patient.
[0040] refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 In a specific embodiment, the bin bottom 111 is in a double-core peanut shell shape, so that the bin bottom 111 has two sinking portions 1111 extending away from the bin cover 112 , and the first interface 120 is disposed between the two sinking portions 1111 .
[0041] First, because the first port 120 is positioned between the two sunken portions 1111, sputum is retained in the chamber bottom 111 regardless of the patient's recumbent position and prevents it from flowing back into the tracheotomy tube 200, ensuring unimpeded breathing. Second, the double peanut shell shape better aligns with the cervical anatomy, enhancing patient comfort.
[0042] refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 6 In some embodiments, the second interface 130 includes a first connecting section 131 and a second connecting section 132 that are interconnected, the first connecting section 131 includes a first connecting portion 1311 disposed away from the second connecting section 132, the second interface 130 is connected to the sputum storage chamber 113 through the first connecting portion 1311, the second connecting section 132 includes a second connecting portion 1321 disposed away from the first connecting section 131, the second connecting portion 1321 is used to connect the respiratory gain circuit, the first connecting portion 1311 and the second connecting portion 1321 are disposed at an angle, and the second connecting section 132 is rotatably connected to the first connecting section 131.
[0043] Specifically, the first connecting portion 1311 and the second connecting portion 1321 are arranged at an angle, and the second connecting segment 132 is rotatably connected to the first connecting segment 131, so that the orientation of the second connecting segment 1321 can be adjusted by rotating the second connecting segment 132. With this arrangement, the tracheostomy care connector 100 can adapt to more lying positions. The user can adjust the angle of the second connecting segment 132 according to the lying position, thereby adjusting the orientation of the second connecting segment 1321 to prevent sputum from contaminating the respiratory tube. As shown in the figure, the user is lying on the left side. By rotating the second connecting segment 132 so that the second connecting segment 1321 faces sideways and upwards, the technical effect of preventing sputum from contaminating the respiratory tube can be achieved.
[0044] refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 5 In some embodiments, the opening 114 is disposed on the compartment cover 112 .
[0045] Specifically, the first interface 120 is provided on the bottom 111 of the sputum chamber, so the bottom 111 is located on the side of the sputum chamber 110 close to the user's neck. If the opening 114 is provided on the chamber cover 112, it would be inconvenient for medical personnel to use. Therefore, in this embodiment, the opening 114 is provided on the chamber cover 112 to facilitate use by medical personnel.
[0046] refer to Figure 4 In this embodiment, two openings 114 are provided, one on each side of the compartment cover 112. This allows medical personnel to select the opening 114 they need based on the actual environment, which not only facilitates operation but also reduces discomfort for the patient. For example, if there is a wall to the right of the patient's bed, the negative pressure sputum suction device can only be placed on the left side of the patient's bed. If the opening 114 is located on the right side, operation will inevitably be inconvenient and the patient will be uncomfortable.
[0047] refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the tracheostomy care connector 100 further includes a cover 140 that is movably connected to the opening 114 to cover or reveal the opening 114. With this arrangement, the cover 140 can be operated to open the opening 114 when the opening 114 is needed, and can be used to cover the opening 114 when the opening 114 is not needed, thereby preventing contaminants in the external environment from entering the tracheostomy care connector 100 through the opening 114.
[0048] It should be noted that there are many schemes for the cover body 140 to be movably connected to the opening 114, such as the cover body 140 being rotatably connected to the opening 114, the cover body 140 being slidably connected to the opening 114, and the cover body 140 being detachably connected to the opening 114, which is not limited in this embodiment.
[0049] refer to Figure 4In some embodiments, the cover 140 is interference fit with the opening 114 , so that the cover 140 can be detachably connected to the opening 114 .
[0050] Furthermore, the cover body includes a cover plate 141 and an inserting protrusion 142 provided on one side of the cover plate 141 . The inserting protrusion 142 is interference-fitted with the opening 114 , so that the cover body 140 can be detachably connected to the opening 114 .
[0051] The present invention also provides a tracheotomy care assembly 1000, referring to Figures 1-6 The tracheotomy care component 1000 includes a tracheotomy care connector 100 and a tracheotomy tube 200. The tracheotomy care connector 100 is the tracheotomy care connector 100 shown in the above embodiment. The tracheotomy tube 200 is connected to the first interface 120 of the tracheotomy care connector 100.
[0052] The beneficial effects of the tracheotomy care component 1000 described in this embodiment have been described in detail in the embodiment of the tracheotomy care connector 100 described above, and thus will not be repeated in this embodiment.
[0053] In a specific embodiment, the tracheotomy tube 200 is provided with an air bag 211 .
[0054] Firstly, after the airbag 211 is inflated, the tracheotomy tube 200 will be stuck in the user's body, which can effectively prevent the tracheotomy tube 200 from being separated from the user's neck.
[0055] Secondly, after the airbag 211 is inflated, it can expand the airway, which is beneficial to ensure the patient's breathing is unobstructed.
[0056] It should be understood that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Those skilled in the art may modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein; and all these modifications and replacements should fall within the scope of protection of the claims attached to the present invention.
