Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and functions of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific implementation methods. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0033] Example 1
[0034] A color-changing gastric tube, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, it comprises: a tubular body 1, with a lumen 11 disposed therein; a collection end 12 having an opening 121, said opening 121 being in communication with the lumen 11; a gastric acid detection strip 2, disposed along the central axis of the tubular body 1 and extending through the sidewall of the tubular body 1, said gastric acid detection strip 2 being no less than the length of the tubular body 1 along the central axis; an expansion structure 3, disposed within the lumen 11, comprising a balloon 31 and a catheter 32, said balloon 31 sealing said opening 121 when inflated. A through hole 16 is disposed within the tubular body 1 along the central axis, said through hole 16 having an axial length no less than the axial length of the tubular body 1, and said gastric acid detection strip 2 is sleeved into said through hole 16. One end of the gastric acid testing strip 2 is provided with a collection end 12, and the other end of the gastric acid testing strip 2 is provided with a limiting end 13. The gastric acid testing strip 2 has a capillary structure. When the fluid contacts the end of the gastric acid testing strip 2 extending from the collection end 12, it moves toward the limiting end 13 under the capillary action.
[0035] A more preferred embodiment is as follows Figures 1-3 As shown, the lumen 11 also includes a stopper end 13, which is connected to one end of the lumen 11. A through hole 131 is provided through the stopper end 13, and the catheter 32 is sleeved into the through hole 131. The central axis of the through hole 131 coincides with the central axis of the lumen 11. The stopper end 13 is specifically plugged into the end of the lumen 11 that is away from the collection end 12. The gastric tube is elastic, and the stopper end 13 and the lumen 11 are plugged into an interference fit. This frictional force generated by the two reduces the risk of the stopper end 13 being dislodged from the lumen 11 and prevents the balloon 31 from being dislodged from the through hole 131.
[0036] A more preferred embodiment is as follows Figures 1-3As shown, the side wall of the lumen 11 is connected with an injection tube 14, the injection tube 14 is in communication with the lumen 11, the central axis of the injection tube 14 intersects with the central axis of the lumen 11 and has an included angle, the included angle is not greater than 60°. The injection tube 14 is connected with a plunger 141, the plunger 141 is used to block the injection tube 14, after the collection end 12 of the stomach tube reaches the stomach of the patient and contacts the gastric juice, the treatment drug or the nutrient substance can be injected into the stomach of the patient through the injection tube 14 as needed.
[0037] More preferably, the outer diameter of the balloon 31 when not inflated is not greater than the outer diameter of the catheter 32, so that the balloon 31 can pass through the through hole 131 and enter the lumen 11. The outer diameter of the balloon 31 when inflated is greater than the inner diameter of the lumen 11, so as to prevent the inflated balloon 31 from passing through the through hole 131 and leaving the lumen 11.
[0038] More preferably, the collection end 12 is provided with a limiting cavity 122, the inner diameter of the limiting cavity 122 is greater than the inner diameter of the lumen 11, when the fluid enters the balloon 31 through the catheter 32, the balloon 31 is inflated and limited in the limiting cavity 122, at this time the balloon 31 is clamped in the limiting cavity 122 under the action of air pressure or water pressure. When the stomach tube is placed, the food residues or other substances in the upper gastrointestinal tract cannot pass through the balloon 31 and enter the lumen 11, and the gastric acid cannot push the balloon 31 into the lumen 11 and enter the lumen 11, which can effectively ensure that the inside of the lumen 11 always remains unobstructed before the balloon 31 is contracted, and then the operation end and the substance injected by the injection tube 14 can be more smoothly input into the stomach of the patient without obstruction.
[0039] More preferably, the length of the catheter 32 is greater than the length of the lumen 11, one end of the catheter 32 in the lumen 11 is in communication with the balloon 31, and the other end of the catheter 32 passes through the through hole 131 of the limiting end 13 and remains outside, so that medical staff can inject fluid or extract fluid into or from the catheter 32, the fluid can be gas or liquid. The balloon 31 and the catheter 32 are made of corrosion-resistant rubber or EVA or PP material, which has elasticity and corrosion resistance and can prevent melting by gastric acid in a short time of contact with gastric acid.
[0040] In use, when the gastric acid contacts the collection end 12, it will move to the limiting end 13 in the capillary structure gastric acid detection strip 2, the user can see the gastric acid detection strip 2 through the transparent tube body 1 and judge whether the collection end 12 in the patient's body is in contact with the gastric acid based on whether the gastric acid detection strip 2 is discolored.
[0041] Example 2
[0042] A color-changing stomach tube, unlike example 1, such as Figures 4-9As shown, the variable color stomach tube comprises: a tube body 1, which is internally provided with a tube cavity 11; the tube cavity 11 comprises a collection end 12, which has an opening 121 communicating with the tube cavity 11; a gastric acid detection strip 2, which has a methyl red, bromocresol green and thymol blue indicator coating and an absorbent layer, is connected to the tube cavity 11 along a central axis of the tube cavity 11, and the length of the gastric acid detection strip 2 is not less than the length of the tube cavity 11 along the central axis; and an expansion structure 3, which is arranged in the tube cavity 11 and comprises a balloon 31 and a catheter 32, wherein the balloon 31 blocks the opening 121 when inflated.
[0043] More preferably, the variable color stomach tube comprises: Figures 4-9 As shown, the tube cavity 11 is provided with a placing opening 15 on the side wall along the central axis, the gastric acid detection strip 2 is connected to the tube cavity 11 along the contour of the placing opening 15, and the gastric acid comes into contact with the gastric acid detection strip 2 when entering the tube cavity 11 through the opening 121; the gastric acid can also come into contact with the gastric acid detection strip 2 when contacting the tube cavity 11.
[0044] In use, the catheter 32 is inflated by an external inflation device to inflate the balloon 31, the collection end 12 of the tube cavity 11 is inserted into the digestive tract of a patient in the inflated state of the balloon 31, and when the gastric acid detection strip 2 at the collection end 12 contacts the gastric acid, the gastric acid spreads along the absorbent layer to the entire gastric acid detection strip 2, and at the same time, the gastric acid detection strip 2 changes color. The medical staff can timely find that the part of the gastric acid detection strip 2 exposed outside the patient's body along the stomach tube changes color, and realize that the collection end 12 has contacted the gastric acid. At this time, the stomach tube is slightly inserted by 10-30 mm to separate the limiting end 13, and then the device for inflating the catheter 32 is removed and the expansion structure 3 is taken out.
[0045] Embodiment 3
