Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical appliances, and in particular relates to a tracheal tube fixer capable of preventing pressure damage. Background Art
[0002] The endotracheal tube fixator is a device used to fix the endotracheal tube in the patient's throat after endotracheal intubation, preventing the endotracheal tube from unnecessary displacement and dislocation, and ensuring unobstructed breathing for the patient.
[0003] With the development of medical technology and the improvement of clinical medical level, endotracheal tube holders that can prevent pressure injuries have emerged. In the existing technology, endotracheal tube holders that can prevent pressure injuries are used by placing a foam pad in contact with the skin above the lips, and then fixing it to the patient's head with a fixing strap. The tube placement slot is moved left and right on the foam pad to avoid pressure injuries to the patient. However, due to the sensitivity of the skin above the lips and the limited space, pressure is easily concentrated to generate local high pressure, causing pressure injuries to the skin above the lips. In addition, during use, the fixing pad is in contact with the face, which also causes a certain degree of pressure injuries. Therefore, to address the above problems, we have proposed an endotracheal tube holder that can prevent pressure injuries. Utility Model Content
[0004] In response to the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a tracheal tube holder that can prevent pressure injuries, avoid pressure on the skin above the lips, reduce the area of contact with the face, and reduce the occurrence of pressure injuries.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a tracheal tube fixer that can prevent pressure injuries, comprising a support frame and a fixing tube, the support frame being arranged in an arc shape, and at least one fitting portion being movably connected to the support frame, the fitting portion being used to fit with the chin, a support portion being provided in the middle of the support frame, fixing members being provided at both ends of the support frame, the fixing tube being provided above the support frame, an intubation channel for fixing the tracheal tube being opened inside the fixing tube, a fixing screw being provided on the fixing tube, and one end of the fixing screw extending to the interior of the intubation channel.
[0006] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: by placing the support frame at the chin position, the support part and the fitting part fit the chin and the bottom of the chin respectively, and the support frame is fixed to the face by the fixing part. At this time, since the raised support part contacts the chin, the rest of the support frame does not contact the facial skin, which reduces the pressure area of the face, and the area of the chin is relatively large, which can better withstand the pressure brought by the entire device.
[0007] To facilitate changing the position of the fitting part and reduce the risk of skin pressure at the base of the chin;
[0008] As a further improvement of the above technical solution: a sliding groove is provided on the support frame, and the fitting portion is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding groove.
[0009] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that the fitting part can be slid regularly to fine-tune its position, thereby avoiding the fitting part from being in one position for a long time and reducing pressure damage to the bottom of the chin.
[0010] In order to increase the protective effect of the endotracheal tube holder;
[0011] As a further improvement of the above technical solution: a transparent cover is provided on the support frame, and the fixing tube is provided on the transparent cover.
[0012] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that some patients who are intubated through the mouth keep their mouths open for a long time, which makes them very prone to coughing up sputum. When the patient coughs up sputum with an open mouth, it is easy for the sputum to be sprayed out. The sprayed sputum will contaminate the external environment, causing virus transmission and cross infection. The setting of the transparent cover can block the spraying of sputum, reducing sputum contamination and virus spread.
[0013] To increase patient comfort;
[0014] As a further improvement of the above technical solution: protective pads can be detachably connected to both the supporting portion and the fitting portion.
[0015] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that the provision of the protective pad can increase the patient's comfort when the support part and the fitting part are in contact with the patient's skin, and at the same time has a certain cushioning effect. Although it is in contact with the skin, it will also reduce the occurrence of pressure injuries.
[0016] To facilitate suctioning of patients;
[0017] As a further improvement of the above technical solution: a sputum suction channel is opened in the fixed tube, and the sputum suction channel is located on one side of the intubation channel.
[0018] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that after the patient is intubated, the patient may have thick sputum that is difficult to cough out due to the disease itself or infection and inflammatory reaction. At this time, the sputum can be sucked out by placing the suction tube into the suction channel and inserting the suction tube into the throat.
[0019] In order to secure the support frame to the patient's head;
[0020] As a further improvement of the above technical solution: the fixing member includes a plurality of two fixing belts, and the plurality of fixing belts are respectively connected to the two ends of the support frame.
[0021] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that the provision of multiple fixing straps can fix the support frame on the head at multiple points, thereby increasing the stability of the support frame and thereby maintaining the fixation of the endotracheal tube.

[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory and should not have any limiting effect on the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a tracheal intubation fixer capable of preventing pressure injuries comprises a support frame 1 and a fixing tube 4, wherein the support frame 1 is arranged in an arc shape, and at least one fitting portion 2 is movably connected to the support frame 1, and the fitting portion 2 is used to fit with the chin, a support portion 3 is provided in the middle of the support frame 1, and fixing members are provided at both ends of the support frame 1, and the fixing member is used to fix the support frame 1, and the fixing tube 4 is arranged above the support frame 1, and an intubation channel 5 for fixing the tracheal intubation is opened inside the fixing tube 4, and a fixing screw 6 is provided on the fixing tube 4, and one end of the fixing screw 6 extends to the inside of the intubation channel 5;
[0029] Specifically, after the doctor inserts the endotracheal tube into the patient's trachea, the tail end of the endotracheal tube is passed through the tube channel 5, and the part of the fixing tube 4 is inserted into the mouth to provide oral support to prevent the endotracheal tube from being bitten. Then, the fixing screw 6 is rotated to contact the endotracheal tube, and the endotracheal tube is fixed in the tube channel 5. The support frame 1 is brought into contact with the patient's chin. At this time, the support part 3 located inside the support frame 1 is in contact with the patient's chin skin. Due to the protrusion of the support part 3, the rest of the support frame 1 does not contact the skin. At the same time, the contact part 2 is in contact with the bottom of the chin, which increases the support point of the support frame 1. Then, the support frame 1 is fixed to the patient's chin through the fixing piece. When used as a whole, only the support part 3 and the contact part 2 are in contact with the patient's chin. In addition, the skin of the chin is less sensitive and has a larger range than the skin on the lips, which disperses the pressure and can better withstand the pressure. This avoids the problem of traditional fixators contacting the skin on the lips and a large area of the face during use, reducing the risk of new pressure injuries.
[0030] Preferably, a slide groove 7 is provided on the support frame 1, and the fitting part 2 is slidably connected to the inside of the slide groove 7. The fitting part 2 can be slid regularly to fine-tune the position of the fitting part 2, thereby avoiding the fitting part 2 from being in one position for a long time and reducing pressure damage to the bottom of the chin.
[0031] Preferably, a transparent cover 8 is provided on the support frame 1, and the fixing tube 4 is provided on the transparent cover 8. Some patients with oral endotracheal intubation have their mouths open for a long time, which makes it very easy to cough up sputum. When the patient coughs up sputum with an open mouth, it is easy to spray sputum. The sprayed sputum will pollute the external environment, causing virus transmission and cross infection. The setting of the transparent cover 8 can block the spraying of sputum, reduce sputum contamination and virus spread.
[0032] Preferably, the support part 3 and the fitting part 2 are both detachably connected with a protective pad 9, wherein the protective pad 9 may be a sponge, foam, etc. The provision of the protective pad 9 can increase the patient's comfort when the support part 3 and the fitting part 2 are in contact with the patient's skin, and at the same time have a certain cushioning effect. Although in contact with the skin, it will also reduce the occurrence of pressure injuries.
[0033] Preferably, a sputum suction channel 10 is opened in the fixed tube 4, and the sputum suction channel 10 is located on one side of the intubation channel 5. After the patient's trachea is intubated, the patient may have thick sputum due to the disease itself or infection and inflammatory reaction, which may make it difficult to cough up. At this time, the sputum suction tube is placed inside the sputum suction channel 10 and inserted into the throat to suck out the sputum.
[0034] Preferably, the fixing part includes a plurality of two fixing straps 11, and the plurality of fixing straps 11 are respectively connected to the two ends of the support frame 1, wherein the fixing straps 11 can be fixed by tying them together in pairs, Velcro, snap fasteners, etc., and fixed to the head and behind the head. The setting of multiple fixing straps 11 can fix the support frame 1 on the head at multiple points, increase the stability of the support frame 1, and thereby keep the tracheal tube fixed.
[0035] The working principle and usage process of the present invention are as follows: when using the device, the medical staff first inserts the tracheal tube into the patient's trachea, then passes the tail end of the tracheal tube through the tube channel 5, and the part of the fixing tube 4 goes deep into the mouth to provide oral support to avoid biting the tracheal tube, and then rotates the fixing screw 6 to resist the tracheal tube, fixes the tracheal tube in the tube channel 5, and contacts the support frame 1 with the patient's chin. At this time, the support part 3 located inside the support frame 1 fits with the patient's chin skin. Due to the protrusion of the support part 3, the rest of the support frame 1 does not contact the skin. At the same time, the fitting part 2 fits with the bottom of the chin. At this time, the protective pad 9 increases the patient's comfort, and then the fixing belt 11 part It is fixed on the top of the head and partially fixed behind the head to increase the stability of the support frame 1. Then, during use, the fitting part 2 can be slid regularly to fine-tune the position of contact with the bottom of the chin. When the patient has sputum, the sputum suction tube can be inserted into the sputum suction channel 10 and entered into the mouth to suction the sputum. If the patient coughs, the transparent cover 8 can block the sputum. During use, the utility model only contacts the patient's chin through the support part 3 and the fitting part 2. Moreover, the skin of the chin is less sensitive and has a larger range than the skin on the lips, which disperses the pressure and can better withstand the pressure. The problem of traditional fixators contacting the skin on the lips and a large area of the face during use is avoided, and the risk of new pressure injuries is reduced.
