[0017] The utility model will be further described below in combination with the drawings and embodiments.

[0018] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4The utility model discloses a transesophageal echocardiography probe mouth pad assembly 100 including mouth pad 1 and rubber sleeve 2, mouth pad 1 includes mouth pad main body 11 and baffle 14, and the baffle 14 is by the edge structure that mouth pad main body 11 extends outward, and mouth pad main body 11 is separated into esophagus insertion section 12 and outside connection section 13 by baffle 14, and the end of outside connection section 13 away from baffle 14 has flange structure 15, and rubber sleeve 2 is the flexible rubber sleeve structure with elasticity, and one end of rubber sleeve 2 is sheathed in outside connection section 13, and the other end of rubber sleeve 2 is used to sheath in probe 4, in other words, rubber sleeve 2 can be wrapped between probe 4 and the outside connection section 13 of mouth pad main body 11 by its own elasticity, make the gap between probe 4 and mouth pad 1 can be closed, to make the patient can make effective Pavy action in the state that transesophageal echocardiography probe is inserted in esophagus, can close necessary gap to assist detection.

[0019] Please refer to Figures 2 to 3 Mouth pad main body 11 is hollow tubular structure, and mouth pad main body 11 has cylindrical cavity 111, and baffle 14 has the through hole 142 that communicates with cavity 111, and the center axis of through hole 142 is perpendicular to the center axis of cavity 111. Figures 1 to 3 Specifically, the transesophageal echocardiography probe mouth pad assembly 100 further includes a pressure measurement assembly 3, which includes a connecting tube 31 and a pressure gauge 32. One end of the connecting tube 31 communicates with the cavity 111 through the through hole 142, and the other end of the connecting tube 31 is connected with the pressure gauge 32. Through the side through hole 142, the pressure gauge 32 is connected to measure the intracavity pressure when the patient makes Pavy action, and the effectiveness of Pavy action is quantitatively monitored.

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 Baffle 14 includes left arc baffle 143 and right arc baffle 144, left arc baffle 143 has the recess towards esophagus insertion section 12, right arc baffle 144 has the recess towards esophagus insertion section 12, and left arc baffle 143 and right arc baffle 144 can just match the profile of the lip.

[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 One end of rubber sleeve 2 sheathed outside connection section 13 has elastic ring 21. Preferably, the elastic ring 21 is a rubber ring, but not limited to this. The probe 4 is a transesophageal echocardiography probe, but not limited to this.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The working principle of the transesophageal echocardiography probe mouth pad assembly 100 is as follows:

[0023] First, the rubber sleeve 2 is sleeved on the esophageal probe, and the esophageal insertion section 12 of the mouth pad main body 11 is inserted into the patient's oral cavity. It can be understood that the probe and the rubber sleeve 2 are relatively movable, and the seal between the two can be achieved by pinching with the hand. The probe is inserted into the patient's esophagus through the mouth pad main body 11 and the rubber sleeve 2.

[0024] The operating physician uses the index finger and the thumb to wrap around the rubber sleeve 2 on the outside end of the mouth pad main body 11, and the remaining three fingers cooperate with the palm to wrap around the other end of the rubber sleeve 2, and try to seal it. The patient is instructed to perform the Valsalva maneuver, take a deep breath, and then perform a forced exhalation action (since the outlet is actively sealed by the operating physician, the exhalation action cannot expel gas). At the appropriate time, the physician actively releases the pressurized fingers, and the Valsalva maneuver is instantly ended to change the pressure difference between the two atria. The movement of the oval valve of the atrial septum and the atrial level shunt are observed under the field of view of the transesophageal echocardiogram, and if necessary, a venous access can be established to perform a transesophageal echocardiogram and right heart acoustic contrast.

[0025] By combining the mouth pad 1 and the rubber sleeve 2 together, the mouth pad 1 includes a mouth pad main body 11 and a baffle 14, the baffle 14 is a rim structure extending outwardly from the mouth pad main body 11, the baffle 14 separates the mouth pad main body 11 into an esophageal insertion section 12 and an external connection section 13, the baffle 14 can directly block the patient's mouth, and the external connection section 13 has a flange structure 15 at the end away from the baffle 14. The rubber sleeve 2 is a flexible rubber sleeve 2 structure with elasticity, one end of the rubber sleeve 2 is sleeved on the external connection section 13, and the other end of the rubber sleeve 2 is used to sleeve on the probe. In other words, the rubber sleeve 2 can wrap between the probe and the external connection section 13 of the mouth pad main body 11 by its own elasticity, so that the gap between the probe and the mouth pad 1 can be closed, so that the patient can make effective Valsalva maneuver in the state of inserting the transesophageal ultrasound probe into the esophagus, and the necessary gap can be closed to assist detection. Compared with the existing transesophageal echocardiogram mouth pad 1, the transesophageal echocardiogram probe mouth pad assembly 100 of the utility model can close the communication between the patient's oral cavity and the outside world, so that the patient can perform the Valsalva maneuver, change the pressure in the atrium, and assist in the diagnosis of diseases such as patent foramen ovale and atrial septal aneurysm.

[0026] The above is only an embodiment of the utility model, and does not limit the patent range of the utility model, and any equivalent structure or equivalent process conversion using the contents of the utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection range of the utility model.
