Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is used to replace heart and lung function to oxygenate blood and eliminate carbon dioxide to meet the needs of patients undergoing surgery. It is an important technology that uses ECMO equipment to provide life support for critically ill patients who have lost their heart and lung function. Such patients need to be quickly connected to the ECMO machine in a short period of time when the disease occurs. However, in the existing technology, many parts of ECMO equipment, such as blood pumps and oxygenators, are independent components and need to be connected through pipes when in use. On the one hand, the connecting pipes are easily damaged during use, and when blood flows through the joints, it is easy to cause blood damage. On the other hand, the priming time is long, and it is not easy to move after the connection is completed, which increases the preparation time in the early stage of treatment. In addition, the scattered components make the existing ECMO equipment have disadvantages such as scattered structure, bulky size, and low mobility, making it inconvenient for medical use.

[0029] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 Schematic diagram of an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine provided in some embodiments of the present application. The extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine 100 may include a mobile support 1, a water tank 2, and a main unit 3.
[0030] The mobile stand 1 may include a tray 11 and support rods 12. The bottom of the tray 11 may have multiple universal wheels 13. For example, the multiple universal wheels 13 may be spaced apart along the circumference of the tray 11. The provision of the universal wheels 13 enables the mobile stand 1 to achieve 360-degree omnidirectional movement, making the mobile stand 1 more flexible and adaptable to different usage scenarios.
[0031] The support rod 12 can be connected to the tray 11. Specifically, the fixed end of the support rod 12 is connected to the tray 11, and the tray 11 can drive the support rod 12 to move. The number of the support rod 12 can be multiple, and such a setting can ensure the supporting effect of the support rod 12.
[0032] The water tank 2 is detachably connected to the mobile bracket 1. Specifically, the water tank 2 and the mobile bracket 1 can be detachably connected by fastener connection, clamping, etc.
[0033] Therefore, the water tank 2 can be easily replaced and repaired, thereby improving the maintainability of the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine 100 .
[0034] The main unit 3 is detachably connected to the support rod 12 , thereby facilitating replacement and maintenance of the main unit 3 , thereby improving the maintainability of the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine 100 .
[0035] The host 3 may include a housing 31, a circuit module (not shown), an oxygenation centrifugal assembly 32, and a display module 33. The housing 31 may have a receiving space, and the housing 31 may protect the components in the receiving space.
[0036] The circuit module is disposed in the accommodating cavity, so that the circuit module can be protected. A power supply can be provided on the housing 31, and the power supply can be electrically connected to the circuit module.
[0037] The oxygenation centrifugal assembly 32 is detachably connected to the housing 31. This facilitates replacement of the oxygenation centrifugal assembly 32, allowing the main unit 3 to be reused, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine 100.
[0038] The oxygenation centrifugal assembly 32 may include a fixed plate 321 , an oxygenator 322 , and a centrifugal pump 323 .
[0039] Among them, the blood flow of ECMO is powered by a centrifugal pump 323. The centrifugal pump 323 can be composed of a blood flow chamber, a pump and a centrifugal pump motor. When blood flows through the centrifugal pump 323, the pump head rotates at high speed to form a vortex, causing a low-pressure area in the center of the pump chamber, while the side wall forms a high pressure. The kinetic energy is transferred to the blood by the viscous shear force or the high-speed rotating impeller, so that a pressure difference can be generated at the inlet and outlet of the pump, thereby promoting liquid flow. In this process, the centrifugal pump 323 converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to drive blood flow. The final blood flow rate is determined by the pressure difference of the blood in the ECMO circuit and the resistance of the blood at the outlet of the oxygenator 322. The resistance to blood flow is composed of the resistance generated by each device in the extracorporeal circulation and the patient's own vascular resistance.
[0040] The function of the oxygenator 322 is to convert non-oxygenated blood into oxygenated blood while expelling a large amount of carbon dioxide from the patient's body. In addition, it also has the functions of filtering microemboli in the blood and heating or cooling the blood.
[0041] Oxygenator 322 is connected to water tank 2. During ECMO, blood flows outside the patient's body, indirectly exchanging temperature with the room air. During transport in the operating room or other cold environments, the air temperature is relatively low, and the blood temperature also drops during circulation, which affects the efficiency of gas exchange. Water tank 2 provides water of the appropriate temperature to oxygenator 322, allowing for heat exchange with the blood.
[0042] The oxygenator 322 and the centrifugal pump 323 are both connected to the fixed plate 321. Specifically, the oxygenator 322 is connected to the fixed plate 321, and the centrifugal pump 323 is also connected to the fixed plate 321.
[0043] The display module 33 is disposed on the housing 31 and is electrically connected to the circuit module. The display module 33 can be used to display information such as flow rate, speed, and water temperature.
[0044] According to the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine 100 of the embodiment of the present application, by detachably connecting the oxygenation centrifugal assembly 32 to the housing 31 and connecting the centrifugal pump 323 to the oxygenator 322 and the fixing plate 321, the difficulty of pre-filling, testing, and assembling the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine 100 can be reduced, thereby saving time for patients to use the machine and facilitating the replacement of consumables. At the same time, by providing the mobile bracket 1, the mobility of the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine 100 can be improved, so that the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine 100 can better meet usage requirements and improve emergency response capabilities.
[0045] Please continue reading Figure 1 In some embodiments, the oxygenator 322 and the centrifugal pump 323 are both detachably connected to the fixing plate 321. Specifically, the oxygenator 322 and the centrifugal pump 323 are detachably connected to the fixing plate 321, and the centrifugal pump 323 is also detachably connected to the fixing plate 321. This facilitates replacement of the oxygenator 322 and the centrifugal pump 323, thereby reducing the operating cost of the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine 100.
[0046] It should be noted that only the oxygenator 322 and the fixing plate 321 may be detachably connected. Alternatively, only the centrifugal pump 323 and the fixing plate 321 may be detachably connected.
[0047] Please continue reading Figure 1 In some embodiments, the housing 31 has a mounting hole 311, one end of which communicates with the outside world and the other end with the accommodating space. A first clip is provided on the fixing plate 321, and a second clip is provided within the accommodating space. The first clip engages with the second clip. Specifically, the oxygenation centrifuge assembly 32 can be inserted into the accommodating space through the mounting hole 311. The first clip on the fixing plate 321 engages with the second clip within the accommodating space, connecting the oxygenation centrifuge assembly 32 to the housing 31. This configuration simplifies the structure and facilitates assembly of the oxygenation centrifuge system.
[0048] Illustratively, the first clamping member may be located on the side of the fixing plate 321 facing the accommodating space, and the second clamping member may be directly opposite the mounting hole 311 . This arrangement allows the fixing plate 321 to be directly connected to the housing 31 after being inserted into the mounting hole 311 .
[0049] Please continue reading Figure 1 In some embodiments, a handle 3211 is provided on one side of the fixing plate 321 away from the accommodation space. This arrangement facilitates the removal of the oxygenation centrifugal assembly 32 from the accommodation space, thereby increasing the speed of replacing the oxygenation centrifugal assembly 32.
[0050] Please continue reading Figure 1In some embodiments, the centrifugal pump 323 and the oxygenator 322 are disposed on opposite sides of the fixing plate 321. This arrangement can optimize the structural layout of the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine 100.
[0051] Please continue reading Figure 1 In some embodiments, the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine 100 may further include a first pipeline 34 and a second pipeline (not shown). A water pipe interface 312 is provided on the side wall of the housing 31. One end of the first pipeline 34 is connected to the water pipe interface 312, and the other end is detachably connected to the water tank 2. One end of the second pipeline is connected to the water pipe interface 312, and the other end is detachably connected to the oxygenator 322. This facilitates connecting the first pipeline 34 and the second pipeline to different water tanks 2 and oxygenators 322, thereby reducing assembly difficulty and allowing patients to be connected to the machine more quickly.
[0052] Please continue reading Figure 1 In some embodiments, the extracorporeal membrane oxygenator 322 further includes an air-oxygen mixer 4. The air-oxygen mixer 4 is connected to the oxygenator 322. The control of the patient's respiratory airflow is adjusted by the air-oxygen mixer 4. The functions of the air-oxygen mixer 4 are divided into oxygen concentration adjustment, gas flow adjustment, air pressure imbalance alarm and distilled water collection. In the ECMO system, oxygenation can be regulated by adjusting the oxygen concentration, and the carbon dioxide discharge efficiency can be regulated by adjusting the gas flow. The respiratory gas in ECMO (referring to the breathable gas delivered to the gas inlet of the oxygenator 322 for gas exchange) is a mixture of medical air and oxygen.
[0053] The air-oxygen mixer 4 is detachably mounted on the support rod 12. This arrangement facilitates replacement and maintenance of the air-oxygen mixer 4, thereby improving the maintainability of the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine 100.
[0054] Please continue reading Figure 1 In some embodiments, the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine 100 may also include a blood inlet catheter and a return catheter. The blood inlet catheter is connected to the centrifugal pump 323, and the return catheter is connected to the oxygenator 322. The housing 31 is provided with a first receiving member and a second receiving member. The first receiving member is used to accommodate the blood inlet catheter, and the second receiving member is used to accommodate the return catheter. This can speed up the machine installation process.
[0055] Please continue reading Figure 1 In some embodiments, the end of the blood drainage catheter away from the centrifugal pump 323 is connected to the first three-way port, and the end of the return catheter away from the oxygenator 322 is connected to the second three-way port. This facilitates venting during priming and also facilitates connection to the ECMO sheath.
[0056] Please continue reading Figure 1In some embodiments, the display module 33 includes multiple displays, which are electrically connected to the circuit module. By setting up multiple displays, the multiple displays can display different information, thereby facilitating better acquisition of real-time information about the patient.
[0057] In the description of this specification, specific features, structures, materials or characteristics may be combined in an appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.
