[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0026] See Figs. 1 to 4As shown, a visual intubation laryngeal mask airway device includes a ventilation bend 2 with a mask 1. A ventilation connector 3 is provided at one end of the ventilation bend 2 away from the mask 1 for connection to an external air supply device. An intubation cavity 200 is provided on one side of the ventilation bend 2, with one end of the cavity communicating with the ventilation connector 3. A mask back 21 extending to the bottom of the mask 1 is also provided at one end of the ventilation bend 2 away from the ventilation connector 3. A ventilation opening 22 located inside the mask 1 for communicating the intubation cavity 200 with a human body cavity is provided on the mask back 21. A guide protrusion 25 for guiding an external endotracheal tube into the human airway is provided on the ventilation opening 22. The device also includes a visualization structure 10 provided on the ventilation bend 2 for forward monitoring of endotracheal intubation operations to increase the field of vision. During use, the combination of the mask 1 and the ventilation bend 2 facilitates the insertion of the visual intubation laryngeal mask endotracheal tube device into the patient's airway through the mouth. With the visual structure 10 providing forward monitoring of the endotracheal intubation operation to increase the field of vision, the external endotracheal tube is inserted into the intubation lumen 200 from the ventilation connector 3 and pushed to the ventilation opening 22. Under the constraint of the mask back 21, the end of the external endotracheal tube located at the ventilation opening 22 is guided into the human airway by the guide protrusion 25. Thus, with the visual structure 10 providing forward monitoring of the glottis and esophageal opening, the guide protrusion 25 and the ventilation opening 22 cooperate to form a tangential arc slope to guide the external endotracheal tube safely into the patient's airway, effectively improving the convenience and safety of use.
[0027] In this embodiment, the visualization structure 10 includes a ventilation cavity 23 located in the middle of the ventilation bend 2, with one end of the ventilation cavity 23 penetrating through the ventilation bend 2 and communicating with the outside at the end away from the mask 1. A cavity 24 is embedded in the ventilation bend 2 near the mask 1, connecting the ventilation cavity 23 with a human body cavity. It also includes a camera 101 mounted on the back of the mask 21 via a camera mounting bracket 4, located in the middle of the ventilation bend 2 near the mask 1, for forward monitoring of endotracheal intubation operations to increase the field of view. The axis of the camera 101 and the axis of the ventilation opening 22 are both located on the symmetrical midline of the back of the mask 21. The axis of the camera 101 and the axis of the ventilation opening 22 are parallel to each other or set at a predetermined acute angle. The camera 101 is electrically connected to an external display via a wire 102, passing sequentially through the cavity 24 and the ventilation cavity 23. The top of the camera mount 4 is flush with the end face of the vent 22, and the top end face of the camera mount 4 is higher than or flush with the top end face of the camera 101. The angle between the axis of the camera mount 4 and the camera 101 and the bottom of the cover 21 is 10°-20°. For example, the camera 101 is a waterproof camera. During use, after electrically connecting one end of the wire 102 to the camera 101, the other end of the wire 102 is passed through the cavity 24 and the vent 23 in sequence, extending out of the vent bend 2 and electrically connected to the external display. At this time, the camera 101 is mounted on the cover 21 through the camera mount 4 and is located in the middle of the vent bend 2 near the cover 1. The axis of the camera 101 is parallel to the axis of the vent 22, and the distance between the two axes is less than or equal to 5mm, or the axis of the camera 101 forms an acute angle with the axis of the vent 22. The included angle between the axes is between 10° and 20°. For example, if the included angle is 15°, the lens of the camera 101 faces the ventilation opening 22. This allows the upper two-thirds of the imaging area of the camera 101 to display the glottis, and the lower one-third to display the position of the tip of the visual intubation laryngeal mask endotracheal tube device at the esophageal opening. When the camera 101 is activated, it can collect information about the internal condition of the patient's glottis and esophageal opening from the front and transmit it to an external display for real-time display, thereby achieving the purpose of real-time forward monitoring and effectively increasing the field of view.
[0028] In this embodiment, a flushing pipe 5 extending along the length of the ventilation bend 2 is embedded within it. One end of the flushing pipe 5 extends outside the ventilation bend 2 and connects to a flushing connector 6. The other end of the flushing pipe 5 is curved and extends into the cover 21, aligned with the camera 101, and is set at a predetermined angle to the front face of the camera 101 to facilitate water flushing. The angle between the corresponding end of the flushing pipe 5 and the front face of the camera 101 is 80°-90°. During use, when there are water droplets and dirt on the end face of the camera 101, the flushing connector 6 is connected to an external water supply device, and the external water supply device is activated to deliver water sequentially through the flushing connector 6 and the flushing pipe 5 to the camera 101 for flushing. After flushing, the position of the flushing pipe 5 is adjusted so that its curved end is connected to the flushing water. Then, the flushing connector 6 is connected to an external drainage device, and the external drainage device is activated to discharge the flushing water sequentially through the flushing pipe 5 and the flushing connector 6, thereby effectively improving the convenience and safety of use.
[0029] In this embodiment, an inflation structure 400 is also included, which is connected to the endotracheal mask 1 for inflating and deflating the endotracheal mask 1. The inflation structure 400 includes an inflation tube 7 connected to the endotracheal mask 1. A one-way valve 9 is provided at one end of the inflation tube 7 away from the endotracheal mask 1 for connecting to an external inflation device. An indicator balloon 8 is also provided at one end of the inflation tube 7 near the one-way valve 9. During use, the visual intubation laryngeal mask airway device is inserted into the airway through the patient's mouth by cooperating with the endotracheal mask 1 and the ventilation bend 2. Then, the one-way valve 9 of the inflation structure 400 is connected to the external inflation device. Under the guidance of the indicator balloon 8, the external inflation device is activated to introduce gas into the endotracheal mask 1 through the one-way valve 9 and the inflation tube 7, thereby inflating the endotracheal mask 1 and fitting it to the pharyngeal tissue and esophageal opening to form a closed cavity.
[0030] In this embodiment, the cover 1 is shaped like an inclined ellipse and is located on the top of the cover back 21. The top of the inner upper end of the cover 1 is 10mm-15mm away from the camera mounting base 4. For example, the distance between the top of the inner upper end of the cover 1 and the camera mounting base 4 is 10mm, 12.5mm, or 15mm. At this distance, the view of the camera 101 can be effectively prevented from being obstructed due to the collapse of the epiglottis.
[0031] In this specific application, firstly, one end of the wire 102 is electrically connected to the camera 101. Then, the other end of the wire 102 is sequentially passed through the cavity 24 and the ventilation cavity 23, extending out of the ventilation bend 2 and electrically connected to an external display. At this time, the camera 101 is mounted on the back cover 21 via the camera mounting base 4 and is located in the middle of the ventilation bend 2 near the end of the cover 1. The axis of the camera 101 is parallel to the axis of the ventilation opening 22, and the distance between the two axes is less than or equal to 5mm. Alternatively, the axis of the camera 101 forms an acute angle with the axis of the ventilation opening 22, and the included angle between the two axes is between 10° and 20°. Between °, thus allowing the lens of camera 101 to face the ventilation opening 22; secondly, through the cooperation of the cuff 1 and the ventilation bend 2, the visual intubation laryngeal mask endotracheal tube device is inserted into the airway through the patient's mouth. Then, the one-way valve 9 of the inflation structure 400 is connected to the external inflation device. Under the guidance of the indicator balloon 8, the external inflation device is activated, and gas is sequentially introduced into the cuff 1 through the one-way valve 9 and the inflation tube 7, thereby inflating the cuff 1 and fitting it against the human pharyngeal tissue and esophageal opening to form a closed cavity; then, the camera 101 is activated, and the camera 101 can collect information about the internal condition of the patient's glottis and esophageal opening from the front. The information is transmitted to an external display for real-time display, thereby achieving real-time forward monitoring and effectively increasing the field of view. Under the forward monitoring of the endotracheal intubation operation by the camera 101 to increase the field of view, the external endotracheal tube is inserted into the intubation cavity 200 from the ventilation connector 3 and pushed to the ventilation opening 22. Under the constraint of the back cover 21, the end of the external endotracheal tube located at the ventilation opening 22 is guided into the human airway by the guide protrusion 25. Thus, under the forward monitoring of the glottis and esophageal opening by the visualization structure 10, the guide protrusion 25 and the ventilation opening 22 cooperate to form a tangential arc slope to guide the external endotracheal tube. The intubation tube is safely inserted into the patient's airway, effectively improving the convenience and safety of use. Finally, when there are water droplets and dirt on the end face of the camera 101, connect the flushing connector 6 to the external water supply device, and then start the external water supply device to deliver water to the camera 101 through the flushing connector 6 and the flushing pipe 5 in sequence for flushing. After flushing, adjust the position of the flushing pipe 5 so that one of its curved ends is connected to the flushing water, and then connect the flushing connector 6 to the external drainage device. Start the external drainage device to discharge the flushing water through the flushing pipe 5 and the flushing connector 6 in sequence, thereby effectively improving the convenience and safety of use.
[0032] In summary, the present invention, with the above-described structure, has the advantages of being able to monitor endotracheal intubation procedures from the front to increase the field of vision and to safely guide the endotracheal tube into the airway.
[0033] For those skilled in the art, various other corresponding changes and modifications can be made based on the technical solutions and concepts described above, and all such changes and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
