Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a nasal catheter capable of simultaneously supplying oxygen and monitoring end-tidal carbon dioxide. Background Art

[0002] With the development of modern medicine, clinical anesthesia often requires patients to use nasal cannula to inhale oxygen. However, for some sedated patients, oxygen inhalation alone is not safe enough. It would be much safer if end-tidal carbon dioxide could be monitored while inhaling oxygen, because end-tidal carbon dioxide can be detected when the patient's breathing becomes shallow and weak. Without carbon dioxide monitoring, only blood oxygen saturation monitoring can be used, which often can only be detected when hypoxia occurs. To address the above problems, a Chinese patent (patent publication number: CN 219090649 U) discloses a nasal oxygen cannula with a filter for collecting end-tidal carbon dioxide. The cannula utilizes two independent nasal cannulas, one connected to a feeding machine and the other connected to a carbon dioxide monitor. Both nasal cannulas are connected to air filters to achieve the effects of end-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring and isolation of pathogens. However, the existing technology still has the following problems in actual application:

[0003] 1. The catheter is too long, making it difficult to disassemble and clean it in sections, and it can easily be blocked by nasal excretions, affecting its use.

[0004] 2. Patients usually wrap the two tubes around their ears to facilitate wearing the nasal suction tube, but there is no adjustment and tightening device on the two tubes, so they are easy to fall off when patients wear them.

[0005] 3. End-tidal carbon dioxide can only be collected through a nasal suction tip, and there are few other compensation methods. The collection of end-tidal carbon dioxide cannot be guaranteed, which in turn affects the monitoring effect.

[0006] 4. The oxygen inhalation tube is easily blocked when it is folded or deformed due to pressure, resulting in poor oxygen flow. Utility Model Content

[0007] The utility model aims to provide a nasal cannula for simultaneously supplying oxygen and monitoring end-tidal carbon dioxide, so as to solve the problems in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0008] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0009] The basic technical solution provided by the utility model is: a nasal cannula for simultaneously supplying oxygen and monitoring end-tidal carbon dioxide, comprising a nasal suction tube, the interior of which is divided into two independent oxygen inhalation chambers and exhalation chambers;

[0010] The oxygen inhalation chamber is connected to an inhalation nasal tube and a third conduit; the exhalation chamber is connected to an exhalation nasal tube and a second conduit, the second conduit and the third conduit are connected by an adjustment slider, the adjustment slider is slidably arranged on the second conduit and the third conduit, the second conduit is also connected to a branch tube, the branch tube is provided with a switch, and the branch tube is connected to an exhalation oral tube; the second conduit is detachably connected to the first conduit through a four-way joint, and the third conduit is detachably connected to the fourth conduit through a four-way joint; the first conduit is connected to a first air filter and a carbon dioxide detector connector for connecting to a carbon dioxide detector, and the fourth conduit is connected to a second air filter and an oxygen machine connector for connecting to an oxygen machine;

[0011] Grooves are provided on the inner side walls of the fourth conduit and the third conduit.

[0012] The principle of the basic technical solution is: when the fourth conduit with grooves and the third conduit are deformed or squeezed, the inner tube walls will not fit completely, that is, an oxygen channel will always remain; oxygen passes through the second air filter to filter out impure particles, and then is delivered to the oxygen inhalation chamber along the third and fourth conduits, and the patient inhales oxygen through the inspiratory nasal cannula; when the patient exhales, carbon dioxide enters the expiratory chamber through the expiratory nasal cannula. When the expiratory nasal cannula or the patient's nasal cavity is blocked, insufficient carbon dioxide can be collected. The sampling airflow can be supplemented by exhaling through the expiratory oral tube. The carbon dioxide passes through the second conduit and the first conduit through the first air filter to filter out impure pathogens and then enters the carbon dioxide monitor.

[0013] The basic technical solution has the following beneficial effects: the carbon dioxide detector connector and the oxygen machine connector facilitate the connection of the present invention to the oxygen machine and the carbon dioxide detector; the first and second filters isolate impurities in the inhaled oxygen to prevent the patient from experiencing respiratory discomfort, and also isolate pathogens in the patient's exhaled air to prevent them from contaminating the carbon dioxide monitor; the four-way connector facilitates the division of the original long catheter into several short, connectable sections, making them easy to disassemble and clean, ensuring hygienic use; the sliding of the adjustment slider allows the second and third catheters to fit more closely to the patient, making them more secure when worn and less likely to slip off the ears; the division of the nasal suction tube into two independent oxygen inhalation chambers and exhalation chambers achieves the functions of simultaneous oxygen supply and end-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring; the use of the exhalation oral tube facilitates timely compensation in the event of insufficient sampling airflow, preventing the monitoring effect from being affected by insufficient sampling airflow; grooves are provided on the inner walls of the third and fourth catheters. When deformed or squeezed, the inner walls of the catheters do not completely fit together, allowing oxygen to pass through, ensuring smooth oxygen supply.

[0014] Preferably, the branch tube is connected to the exhalation oral tube through a flexible tube.

[0015] Through the above arrangement, the hose can facilitate the movement of the expiratory oral tube to prevent its fixation from affecting installation and use. The sleeve connection makes the expiratory oral tube detachable, and it can be removed when sampling airflow compensation is not required, further facilitating use.

[0016] Preferably, the carbon dioxide detector connector, the first air filter, the first conduit, the four-way connector, the adjustment slider, the second conduit, the branch pipe, the switch, the hose, the expiratory oral tube, the expiratory nasal tube, the inspiratory nasal tube, the nasal suction tube, the third conduit, the fourth conduit, the second air filter and the oxygen machine connector are all made of medical grade materials.

[0017] Through the above settings, safe use is ensured and other pollution is avoided.

[0018] Preferably, the carbon dioxide detector connector is a Luer connector.

[0019] Through the above arrangement, the connection is convenient and the production cost is reduced.

[0020] Preferably, a reminder sign is provided at the port of the four-way connector connecting the third conduit and the fourth conduit.

[0021] Through the above arrangement, the probability of wrong connection is reduced, ensuring the normal use of the utility model.

[0022] Preferably, the grooves are four evenly distributed, and their directions are consistent with the directions of the fourth conduit and the third conduit.

[0023] Through the above settings, smooth oxygen flow is further ensured. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0032] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0033] Connect the oxygen machine connector 17 to the oxygen machine to start oxygen supply.
