Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical auxiliary equipment, in particular to an alarm device capable of preventing unplanned extubation of a patient. Background Art

[0002] Unplanned extubation, also known as accidental extubation, refers to the patient's intubation when the catheter slips off on its own or the patient removes it without the medical staff's consent. It also includes the medical staff removing the catheter prematurely or the tube falling out due to improper operation. It is one of the common adverse events in clinical practice. Unplanned extubation can be caused by a variety of factors and can lead to bleeding, infection, and suffocation in patients, increasing patient pain, affecting treatment effectiveness, thereby prolonging hospitalization and increasing medical costs. In order to reduce and prevent the occurrence of unplanned extubation, medical staff generally adopt risk assessment, multidisciplinary management, the use of sedatives, improved tube fixation methods and physical restraints. Common catheters in clinical practice include nasogastric tubes, urinary catheters, anal tubes, chest drainage tubes, abdominal drainage tubes, etc. After the drainage tube is placed in the human body, it is usually fixed by suture, balloon or catheter fixation tape. Taking the nasogastric tube as an example, the nasogastric tube is inserted from the nasal cavity through the esophagus into the stomach to achieve the purpose of eating or drainage. The nasogastric tube is only fixed with a catheter fixing tape, which is easy to fall out. When it falls out, the catheter fixing tape is often separated from the skin of the nose, and the other end of the catheter fixing tape is still stuck to the catheter. In addition, unplanned extubation is more likely to occur in ordinary wards. If it is not discovered in time, adverse events or even medical accidents are likely to occur. Therefore, it is necessary to design an alarm device that can prevent patients from unplanned extubation and provide early warning for medical staff. When unplanned extubation occurs, the medical staff on duty will be notified immediately to prevent accidents. Utility Model Content
