Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a pressure balancing device and an extracorporeal circulation system. Background Art

[0002] In extracorporeal circulation heart surgery, various new technologies are constantly emerging. After decades of development, the technology has become increasingly mature both domestically and internationally. In heart surgery, extracorporeal circulation is crucial for maintaining a clear surgical field and maintaining the patient's blood circulation. Excellent extracorporeal circulation plays a significant role in improving the success rate of surgery.

[0003] During cardiac surgery, conventional techniques use a left ventricular suction device to absorb blood returning from the surgical field. However, if the suction pressure is too high, it can cause severe blood or tissue damage; if the suction pressure is too low, it can cause excessive blood return from the surgical field, interfering with the surgeon's field of vision, and in severe cases, even making the surgery impossible.

[0004] In order to overcome the above problems, the prior art discloses a left heart suction device for cardiac surgery. By arranging a one-way air valve on the suction head of the suction catheter located in the surgical field area, when the pressure in the suction catheter reaches the threshold set by the one-way air valve, the one-way air valve will open, allowing outside air to enter the suction catheter, thereby maintaining the pressure of the left heart suction device stable during the operation.

[0005] However, the production of one-way valves used in surgical procedures requires extremely strict materials and processes, resulting in high prices for left ventricular aspiration devices using this technical solution, hindering widespread clinical use. Furthermore, the one-way valves also suffer from the problem of only being able to preset a pressure threshold before surgery and not being able to adjust it during the operation based on on-site conditions. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a pressure balancing device and an extracorporeal circulation system to solve the problems of high cost of left ventricular suction devices and inability to adjust the pressure threshold during surgery.

[0010] Beneficial effect: By connecting the pressure regulating device to the suction catheter, the pressure monitor is used to detect whether the pressure in the suction catheter is within a normal pressure range.

The pressure balancing device of this solution does not require a one-way air valve to be provided on the side of the suction catheter close to the surgical field area, which reduces costs. In addition, during the operation, the pressure regulator can be adjusted at any time according to the pressure value detected by the pressure monitor. When the situation of the patient or the surgical field area changes, it can also be well responded to and the suction pressure is kept at an appropriate value.

[0018] In an optional embodiment, the pressure monitor includes a pressure transducer, one end of which is connected to the first catheter connecting device, and the other end of which is connected to the cardioplegic fluid pressure measuring device.

[0019] Beneficial effect: The pressure transducer converts physical pressure into digital signals, which is suitable for realizing automatic control and monitoring of suction pressure.

[0020] In an optional embodiment, the pressure regulator is a precision infusion device, and the precision infusion device includes a regulating valve, which is suitable for adjusting the air intake amount to keep the suction pressure in a stable state.

[0021] Beneficial effect: By using the precision infusion pump in the pressure regulator and adjusting the air flux of the precision infusion pump using the regulating valve provided with the precision infusion pump, the suction pressure in the surgical field area can be kept in a stable state, which is low-cost but very efficient.

[0022] In an optional embodiment, a scale dial is provided on the regulating valve, and the scale dial is used to indicate the opening size of the regulating valve.

[0033] The following combination Figure 1 , describing the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0034] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the one hand, the present invention provides a pressure balancing device, including: a suction device, suitable for sucking blood in the surgical field area 7, the suction device includes a suction catheter 2, one end of the suction catheter 2 is connected to the surgical field area 7; a pressure regulating device, the pressure regulating device includes a pressure monitor and a pressure regulator, the pressure monitor is connected to the suction catheter 2, and is used to detect the suction pressure of the surgical field area 7; one end of the pressure regulator is connected to the atmosphere, and the other end is connected to the suction catheter 2, and is used to adjust the suction pressure to a stable state.

[0035] By connecting the pressure regulating device to the suction catheter 2, the pressure in the suction catheter 2 is detected by the pressure monitor to see if it is within the normal pressure range. When the pressure in the suction catheter 2 is abnormal, the pressure in the suction catheter 2 is balanced by adjusting the pressure regulator, thereby stabilizing the suction pressure in the surgical field area 7. This solution eliminates the need for a one-way air valve on the side of the suction catheter 2 close to the surgical field area 7, thus reducing costs. Furthermore, during surgery, the pressure regulator can be adjusted at any time based on the pressure value detected by the pressure monitor, thereby adjusting the suction pressure in the surgical field area 7. This allows for good response to changes in the patient's or the surgical field area 7's condition, maintaining the suction pressure at an appropriate value.

[0036] In this embodiment, the pressure regulating device includes a first catheter connecting device 9, which includes three ports: the first port is connected to the pressure monitor, the second port is connected to the pressure regulator, and the third port is connected to the suction catheter 2.

[0039] In this embodiment, the pressure monitor includes a cardioplegic pressure measuring device 11. During surgery, the cardioplegic pressure measuring device 11 is typically only used for a few minutes and is otherwise idle. However, the cardioplegic pressure measuring device 11 has a pressure detection function.

[0044] In this embodiment, the pressure regulator is a precision infusion set 3, which includes a regulating valve adapted to adjust the amount of air drawn into the set 3 to maintain a stable suction pressure. By using the precision infusion set 3 in the pressure regulator and adjusting the amount of air drawn into the set 3 using the regulating valve, the suction pressure in the surgical field can be kept stable, resulting in a low-cost yet highly efficient solution.

[0045] In other optional embodiments, the pressure regulator may also be configured to include an electrically controlled valve, which automatically adjusts the opening size according to the pressure value measured by the pressure monitor, thereby automatically controlling the suction pressure to be in a stable state.

[0046] In this embodiment, a dial 4 is provided on the regulating valve for indicating the opening size of the regulating valve. The dial 4 can accurately indicate the opening size of the regulating valve, thereby enabling adjustment of the regulating valve in a fine-scale manner, which can well quantify the specific amount of adjustment and more flexibly and accurately control the specific value of the suction pressure.

[0047] In this embodiment, the opening size of the regulating valve is adjusted by rotating the dial 4. In an optional embodiment, a rotating device is provided on the regulating valve for adjusting the opening size of the regulating valve.
